Just passing through for one night. We walked through the campground to stretch our legs and impressed with sites and services. It’s a large park with lots of trailers, but lots of space too. Lots of attention paid to developing a pleasant landscape. Very impressed by the wifi throughout the park that works excellently. Great value as well. Thanks for having us.

Been coming to Youghall Campground for 3-4 years now, usually a few times a summer. It is one of our favorite places to go in Atlantic Canada (we travel often). The people are very friendly & the campground has lots to offer. Youghall beach is just down the road too. Everyone gets excited when its time to go to Youghall Campground. Price is great too. No complaints.

Nice campground, but some of the seasonal campers are quite grumpy. My children weren't allowed to throw a ball on the lawn.
