On the plus side I found my first ever 4 leaf clover here, so there's that! Budget van lifers keep rolling, CC is a well oiled machine. Everything is spicnspan even the fire pits are swept between guests, bummer if you use left over logs for your fire. The prices for everything here at CC are great if it was a hotel. Wifi access costs $6 for the privilege of surfing your email but no streaming.. bad dog! . A quick back of the envelope calculation has this park pulling down some serious cash annually and it shows, every square meter is spoken for and used for profit. If you want one of the lake

We drove 6hrs to reach this park. Couldn't be happier we did. Met a couple from Port Dover and was asked why we ventured so far. Told them it was about seeing variety Ontario has to offer. This is a well kept, well run park. Staff are efficient at cleaning sites. Beware of the Black Walnuts though, you'll need to clean your rig. Beautiful park and area.

I love Camper's Cove! It has plenty of trees and feels super cozy. The vibe is friendly and it is a big park so you can go for a walk or ride your bike. The beach is beautiful and a great option. The sites are… a good size, overall the park is clean and looks well kept. We really enjoyed our stay there when the kids were young. There are plenty of fun activities and events planned , even now.
I think out of all the camps we visited, the kids enjoyed Camper's Cove the most. Now we have friends there who love it and can't say enough positive things about their experiences with being Seasonal
