Not bad, but not great. The staff are helpful and accommodating, site switching upon arrival was easy enough. Washrooms are subpar, leaving one debating skipping a shower at times. (keep in mind we are not looking for the ritz in washrooms)
Water is something you'll search for, and once found its not listed as drinking water. The trailer section is neat and tidy, and I truly believe that if another fall and spring are spent on working over the tent sites they'll truly have a decent area for just that. I enjoyed the time there, but if going back I'd probably bring my own hanging shower.

Decent campground but nothing more than a stop for the night. Woman at office kiosk gave me a bunch of attitude when I arrived earlier than their advertised time. WHATEVER you do do not use the guy that cleans RVs there. He agreed to do my RV and car for $100 canadian. I was not there when he did it but he did a terrible job. I came back in a bit of a rush ans should have looked but did not. It was the b=next morning when I realized the roof had not even been touched and was real dirty. It rained and all the dirt came streaming down the sides. Total waste of $100 plus $20 tip. Nothing against the

We tent camped here for one night at the start of the season. It's an older campground with the typical mix of seasonal RV spots, temporary use and a few tenting spots. We were the only people tenting that day and because of that had the tent area to ourselves, with a beautiful view of the bay. The facilities were old, but worked. It was quiet, except for the lapping of the waves. We enjoyed our stay.

A basic campground with very friendly staff. Sites are large (pull through ones are) and nice and level. The swimming area is not recommended for swimming. You can swim on the tidal side, at High tide. A nice addition this year to have a canteen on weekend evenings. Kathy and Joe are very helpful and great hosts. Its good to park the camper at for visiting the area.
