  Most likely one of the VERY BEST camping places I have been to. Staff is amazingly polite and helpful, prices are cheap and the grounds are clean and awesome. THANK YOU :)

  We had reserved a site, but when we got there they decided to give us a better site. We really loved the area we were in, in the back of the Lot there was a trail to walk in the woods. The campground was kind of clean, but somethings needed to be upgraded, like the sanitary blocks. The staff were ok. Would go back if I found out they changed the sanitary blocks.

  We rented a site for a month and I am actually writing this from that site. The first 3 weeks were enjoyable for the most part with the exception of some of the staff. I will call them "the owners husband, and the owners husbands friend". I was at the store and had ordered wood about an hour prior to leaving and it showed up while I was gone so it was my wife and sons that received it. The kids were playing quietly and my wife was napping on a hammock which was hidden behind some towels. She wakes up to hear the guy (the owners husbands friend) yelling at our 4 year old yelling at him and I quote "tu vois ben que té dans mon chemin tasse toé d'là!". Rough translation is "your in the way get the fu** out!". Now my wife gets up and came out from behind the hanging towels says "Hi" and get's no response. So she remains polite and goes to start help unload the wood and promptly gets yelled at saying "That's enough lo, you only paid for $20 ... enough! There was just a couple pieces of wood left in the cart. He could just have said ok that's it. How was she supposed to know how much is $20? Why would he bring our load of wood +7 pieces? My theory is that he got surprised and did not know my wife was right there, caught made him mad. Probably those extra pieces of wood were the load but he cut it short just to have a reason to yell. When he left my wife said Thank you have a good night in French as he speaks French, no reply he just walked away. I go to confront the guy outside the office. There is a language barrier though as he speaks very little English and I speak little French. This is where the owners husband enters stage left and asks what is happening. I tell him and immediately he is on the defensive and saying I have known this guy for 25 years he would not do this. I answer well he did, I say that you guys are running a business you should be professional, they both just laugh....nice. He than goes on to change the subject by implying that we were stealing power and wood which was completely untrue. I have paid for our power use in advance and also for 2 days that we used it prior to paying and I have the receipts to prove it, again...classy. This comes just 1 hour after I had paid them $245 to extend our stay and $20 for the wood. Pretty sure we were 1 of their best wood customers averaging $5 a day in wood. Did I mention I called for wood when it was raining and they refused so I went to load it up myself. Now to be completely transparent on the wood stealing accusation. When we first arrived here we saw people leaving and than other people going to take any leftover wood, it happens all the time here. We were out on a short drive to explore the campsite a day or 2 later and ended up just behind the main site. There was a large field and fire pit that was still smoking, the people had just left and there was a stack of wood. So we thought nice some wood we can have and start to load it up. Than here comes owners husbands friend... witha scowl. He informs us that the wood is there for the next people that are coming. Ok no problem we put it back, apparently that is a group site and things work differently, an honest mistake. Since than their attitudes have been poor. Now owners husband begins with the personal attacks on to of the false stealing accusations. He proceeds to tell us we do not watch our kids and let them go wherever they want. Completely untrue, we keep an extremely close eye on them but any of you as parents know it just takes them a few seconds to slip out of site especially 2 little boys of 4 and 6. Not that they caused any problems when they slipped out of the allowed area, they were just riding their bikes around like the other 20 kids doing the same. I say to owners wife you guys really need to learn how to treat people and run a business properly. He replies and I quote "I'm not here to be nice, I am here for respect" ...what?
