We really enjoyed our stay at the Ocean River RV Park - has been about 10 years since we were there last, and the new ownership have really made some great improvements! Chris and Almut were very welcoming and professional, and we were to happy to see that they now sell ice cream and beer in their clubhouse! The washrooms were clean and modern, the tent campsites were nicely spaced apart and well treed, with patches of blueberries dotted around the place. Really loved walking along the beach running along the Tabusintac river, and they have canoe and kayak rentals available, which we will definitely do next time we're there!
