Campground was nice and well maintained. Comfort stations were clean. Camp store was decently stocked. I was concerned after reading the reviews about the wardens ticketing people for being noisy, moving wood off their campsite, etc.. Thankfully, we did not have any such experiences, and we were a large group (8 adults, 6 teenagers, 4 younger kids) camping on 4 sites beside each other, and while we don't tend to be excessively noisy, with that many kids around, we aren't overly quiet either. We really enjoyed the mine tour and meeting Rosie the snake. I didn't see any ticks (we were there at the end of August) and I didn't see any raccoons at night, but did see evidence of them having visited (just like at any campground). We did see a couple of deer, tons of salamanders and frogs and a few snakes. I didn't make it to the beach, but the kids liked it and they caught a lot of fish. The biggest downside is that the camp sites themselves are very hit and miss for quality. They are very open, so there's not much privacy. My friend's site had basically no where to pitch a family sized tent as it was very hilly, rocky and full of tree roots. It appeared to be set up to accommodate a trailer only -- the only place suitable for a tent of any size was on the gravel pad (not ideal for keeping a tent free of holes), even though the website said it was suitable for multiple tents. Other sites were perfectly fine though. All in all, I would camp there again, but I would be careful in selecting camp sites. Definitely take the opportunity to go on a mine tour -- the nighttime tour is quite fun.

DO NOT GO TO THIS PARK! I was with my husband and 2 daughters, and singing songs by the fire for my 2 daughters quietly, it was only 8:00pm. 2 park "rangers" came up to us and yelled at us in front of my young daughters, asked us "if we were drunk" I was disgusted at them, as well as my husband, and explained to them why they were botheroing us simply keeping to ourselves, they threatened if we did not "immediately be quiet!" that they would ticket us for disturbing people., my husband and I had to dress our 2 daughters, and packed our stuff up and left the park after these 2 treated us. I will never go back to this park. I saw numerous reviews about how bad this park was for people being ticketed for simply sitting by a campfire and being ticketed, as well as people being ticketed for burning dead twigs, etc I did not think it was that serious but after visiting this park I wish I would have taken the reviews seriously, I also noticed after I got home many of the negative reviews about this park have been taken down. SO I ask GOOGLE: WHY ARE YOU TAKING NEGATIVE REVIEWS DOWN AND LEAVING ONLY POSITIVE ONES UP? I will never trust GOOGLE reviews again because it is obvious they take negative reviews down as I saw over a dozen of them, and now their are barely any. Their reviews are clearly not fair and must take any negative reviews down because the park pays for the advertising, that is disgusting and wrong. I would not doubt if they delete this post as well shortly after the park notices it. I SUGGEST TO ANYONE DO NOT GO TO THIS PARK, BECAUSE IF ANYONE COMPLAINS ON YOU THESE PARK RANGERS WILL TICKET YOU OR HARASS YOU EVEN WHEN YOU ARE DOING NOTHING WRONG!

Have been here a few times before, but won't be returning after our last visit. While sitting around the fire with friends chatting one evening the warden came by twice to tell us to be quiet. It was fairly early the first time, and we were merely sitting outside enjoying our campsite. After his first visit, we decided to go to sleep by 11 to avoid the ticket he threatened us with. As we were getting ready to go to sleep, he stopped by again with two other rangers and demanded we be quiet, getting quite aggressive and threatening to ticket us again. He also felt the need to call us "students," which we took to essentially be a way to talk down to us. We are all working professionals and just wanted to respectfully enjoy the campsite we had paid for for the weekend without harassment. I have worked at provincial parks and am mindful of the sometimes difficult job park wardens have- but this interaction left us confused and put a damper on our weekend. Also, the raccoons are bad.

The trails are nice. The staff aren't. Literally look for reasons to bother you. We had to clean our site out of broken trees and sticks before we could put up our tent and we got told not to pick up deadwood? Also there were a ton of ticks and the fire pit was full of ashes. We had to clean it before we could use it... Wouldn't recommend to anyone. Worst park I've been to. :(

Awesome place for beginner campers! Drinking water and bathrooms are clean and easily accessible. Friendly staff, and great scenery. Lots to do as well, wish we stayed longer than the weekend!
