We had a great time; however, because it was during the week the pancake house and ice cream shop were closed and there were no movies... 7/21/2021

Always a great stay Joe and his crew look after things it the best place in HRM to camp. 7/21/2021

I rented an RV and I was very happy with it. It was large enough for my family. The service was great and my kids loved the bikes. 7/20/2021

Had my grandson with me and he really enjoyed himself and thats all that really matters, it was peaceful until the weekend. I would reacommend to anyone who has kids to stay for the weekend. 7/19/2021

Had a great week. The 3 way sites are tiny, but the park is clean and quiet. 7/19/2021

Joe and his team are the best. They never stop doing things to improve the grounds . We go and stay for a week at times and just for the weekends to get away to a happy place by far the best campground. Great job! 7/19/2021

It was amazing, my daughter had so much fun. We will differently be going back . 7/19/2021

Lovely campground, bathrooms clean, staff friendly. My only complaint is the smoking on campsites. Would love to see a designated smoking spot to decrease the exporsure to my small children. 7/19/2021

The campground is very nice and there is lots for children to do. We did find it very busy with a lot of traffic in and out of the campground which was a little unnerving when there are children on bicycles, banana bikes, scooters, etc. Staff presence is minimal... 7/19/2021

This location is close to the city and just right for our needs. The park is expanding nice and is always full. There are enough activities for the kids and adults. I would recommend you book in advance to ensure availability. 7/19/2021

People next to us rented a cabin we’re up all night drinking and loud music so first night sucked but the second night wasn’t that bad staff was helpful and the place was nice . 7/19/2021

Was a great family atmosphere lots for the kids to do 7/19/2021

Our stay was wonderful. This is a great place for kids and the view from the site was incredible. Special shout-out to Cole, an employee at KOA, who helped make our stay magical. We will definitely be back! 7/19/2021

It’s was awesome. The staff was incredible and the facilities were clean and well maintained. We will be back next year. 7/18/2021
