We recently spent a week at the campground. The staff was friendly and helpful. They had great ideas where to hike and eat. The campground was clean. We were especially appreciative of their willingness to address noise issues. We ended up with loud neighbors and Joe addressed the issue and we have not had that experience at other campgrounds. Thank you for an awesome week.
Staff were very friendly and accommodating. They were nice to our kids, especially during the Christmas in July activity or went asking for balls to play with. The bathrooms and laundry room were clean and easy to use. We loved the mountain bike trails and disc golf course. Basketball and the pool were a big hit. While the pool is small, it serves its purpose. The full hookups worked well. We like the convenience of the camp store. Great activities in the area including the chasm, Ausable river and lake Champlain.
2nd time I've been here and it's been very clean. There's a playground and a pool for the kids and many trails to walk to. Wi-Fi is available and there's a water faucet in between each campsite or cabins. We took a cabin which had a double and a bunk bed. You will need to bring your own pillows and bedsheets and covers. No heating inside but you can bring a small heater if you want. There's a laundry mat and shower which is a plus. All in all I would recommend this place and will come back again in the future.
Great campsite! My only minor complaint is that it can be challenging to distinguish the boundaries of the tent sites. During our visit with a group of friends, we booked two sites located right next to each other. However, we faced a slight issue as the neighboring campers had set up their equipment in such a way that it was unclear where their site ended and ours began.
Due to the confusion, we had limited space for pitching a tent on the second site. Fortunately, we managed by parking our cars there instead. While I considered asking the neighboring campers to adjust their setup, the lack of clear site definition made it difficult to address the situation properly, leaving no obvious space for them to relocate.
To enhance the camping experience for all visitors, I believe the camp management could implement some improvements in site demarcation. Clearer boundaries or markers would greatly help campers identify their designated areas accurately. This simple enhancement could prevent similar issues in the future and potentially avert any negative impact on other camping trips.
Overall, despite this minor inconvenience, we still had a great time, and everything worked out fine.
The Goldilocks ‘Just Right’ of Campgrounds!
What a wonderful serendipitous discovery! Joe and Siobhan, the camp managers, were two of the friendliest and most helpful people I have ever met, and I’ve crossed country four times! They and their staff, notably Stan and Jeanne, helped me frequently, moving camp, managing resources, and with helpful information.
This is a family camp, with many adventures right within walking distance. Trails for hiking, biking, disc golf, rafting, movie nights and Halloween celebrations! Excellent facilities, well maintained, wood and ice in the store during business hours.
And you can walk across the street and explore the Chasm itself.
I thought it was amazing that they have Wi-Fi throughout the entire campground, but it can be spotty, which is the only reason I didn’t rate it a full 5 stars. Frequent loss of signal, or even just being kicked off the network if you have a signal. It caused me to lose some time resubmitting work.
I stayed for an entire month, Labor Day thru Indigenous People’s Day. Even during the rains the camp was nice and navigable. I explored the hiking trails several times, and even enjoyed swimming in the kiddie pool, although they are upgrading that this winter. They are also adding a game room!
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and wish I’d been here with family. I had a very spiritual experience, and my inner child had fun! The Inner Sanctum trail is a must, though definitely for intermediate hikers.
