We stayed in the tiny house which was a good choice as the weather was cool and wet - it took a bit of work to get the woodstove going for us to get warm (and you need to take care once it's hot) - it did make downstairs comfortable to be in but the sleeping area very stuffy. There is an electric heater also but we didn't use that.
We had been made aware that there was no stovetop in the house - the fridge is now in that space - so we had planned appropriately. An electric hotplate would suffice though. We also knew that there was no toilet inside the house, the portaloo close by was the fanciest I have experienced, with flush and hand sanitiser. The showers were a walk away which was less convenient. A nice view out of the window, although lots of people do walk by and check out the house. A range of water birds in the lake and the occasional rabbit on the lawn. An allocated parking space is a few steps from the door of the house.

We stayed in one of the glamping tents. The tent was spacious and comfortable. Potable water was nearby. Glamping obviously means there's no bathroom included in the tent. We had a port-o-potty nearby that was clean. The regular toilet and shower facilities were also close but not close enough to warrant a middle of the night walk to pee, so the port-o-potty had to do.

Staff was efficient, but not overly friendly. The property was quiet and clean. Lake access is... weird? We couldn't find a sandy beach on the property but maybe we just missed it. We found one a few KMs away, but it was crowded. I think that's what felt the most like it was missing- clearly explained and easy access to the lake. After all that's why we chose this spot.

No good view of the lake unlike the listing photos. Tents are sandwiched between a busy highway, a public boat ramp, and the main entrance to The Camp trailer park. I used my noise cancelation ear buds most of the time day and night to block the traffic noise.

Such a fun place to stay. We were in the glamping tent and had a fire pit with an amazing view of the lake. The whole area was very nice and the tent was comfortable. Bathroom very basic but it is a camp site.
We went as a couple but I think if you went as a group, it’d be really fun to all get a tent (there were 5 in our hub), as they all share a little kitchen tent and the fire!

Everything was as expected and a nice night. Although the food truck was closed as they closed it a couple days before our stay which is unfortunate due to off season, but it all worked out and was alright. I would reccomend if your looking for some glamping in a beautiful area!

Nice place by the lake

We stayed in cabin #1 (yellow) which was very comfortable and clean. We had a small view of the lake from our cabin which was cool.

The bed was the most comfortable ever, so much that it was tough to get up in the morning 😉

The women's toilets and showers are quite far from cabin #1.

It was nice to be able to swim in the lake from the small beach.

The room is equipped with a small fridge, a kettle, a table and stools in front of a large window.

Unfortunately, the kitchen is not equipped properly. There is almost no pots and pans. The kitchen is not wide enough because of the table in the middle, so when it is busy, it is really difficult to cook.

When you rent a cabin, you have to rent a box with the plates and cutlery for $5/day.

Mixed bag.

The tents were lovely and the location is stunning. However there was no maintenance team so the toilet on our site was out of order, we were the only tent without cushions on our chairs (because they had “run out”?) and all the grills weren’t working. When we asked about any of these things staff had no interest so this isn’t somewhere to stay if you have questions.
Although it’s such a beautiful location I’d stay here again if the place was better maintained.

We booked a lake side tiny cabin which doesn’t have any toilets or washrooms attached for a day but we reached late. Thought our key was given to us but since it was raining and toilets/kitchen/bathrooms were far we thought of changing it. But we kept calling the number written on the wall of the reception but no one picked. This makes us wander what if in night we need some help n these guys won’t even pick up. We didn’t have any water in our room n we had to walk in rain for toilets n water n food. Rest the stay was good, just like mentioned but we didn’t know that facilities will be this far

We stayed one night in a Bell Tent. The tent was gorgeous and cosy, and the property/campground is absolutely stunning! A few things let us down slightly - firstly we requested an infant cot which we were told could be put in our tent but when we arrived (after hours) we found no infant cot. As the office was already closed we just had to make do but unfortunately our 1yo daughter rolled off the bed in the night and we had a terrible sleep trying to make sure she was safe. Secondly we didn’t realize the Bell tents are located the furthest from the water at the back of the property near the main road. It didn’t matter so much as we arrived when it was dark and in the morning took a drive around the lake but if you want to be right on the lake you need to book a Denver Tent instead. Otherwise the location is fantastic, the bathrooms were a close walk and very clean, and our tent was super warm and cosy.
