"The campsites are a lot closer together than I would like. We were in a radio free area, so it was pretty quiet despite the close togetherness. Our hydro was out for almost 24 hours from a storm last winter."
"Tent site electric and ample for tent and trailer. It's a family oriented provincial park with ample amenities for lake fun. If you cycle bring one to reach the beach as this park covers a big area."
"First time visiting. Huge park, 900 sites in a half dozen campgrounds. My site was large with semi shade. Discovered a problem with the power post when I arrived but the electrician was there quickly."
