Our site was exactly as pictured and very peaceful. Mosquitos were present when the wind died down so we used a screen room with our trailer.

The property was beautiful and Helmut was very friendly. We felt welcomed right away and loved the ocean views, especially at sunset.
We had a short stay but loved every minute of it❤️. We would definitely go back again and would recommend this place to anybody.
Thank you to Helmut and his family for sharing their private property with those of us looking for a little seclusion in the sunshine, under the stars and by the water.

Can't imagine a nicer private waterfront location on the bay across from Prince Edward Island. So quiet, and we were greeted by a nice sunset and wonderful hosts.

I had a fantastic time at this spot and thanks to helmut our host he made it that jeun better. We ended up staying 1.5 days due to the heavy wind and the fire ban (both out of our hosts control) but he was very helpful setting up our tents, providing us with his bbq in his garage to cook and offered us a place through a neighbor friend who wasn’t far either.
I would definitely and highly recommend helmut and this space.
We drive from montreal just to see the ocean and Ute as worth it. Also-the stars at night were amazing. You can really appreciate the clean air, the minimum pollution and traffic in this province and the time and space to connect to nature.
Thank you Helmut for such a great time.

Highly recommend. A great spot, overlooking the “Baie Verte,” right on the ocean. Host Hrlmut is a wonderful guy, super hospitable, and clearly loves the land he is stewarding. The potable water, picnic table, and fire pit are nice touches. Usual summer mosquitos are present.

After a long day of driving, me and my cat were so happy to find a beautifully maintained site to relax with our bare feet in the grass. I always appreciate a nice outhouse, too. We will definitely be returning here on our way back from PEI.

Cora and Dave were great hosts! Both were very friendly and accommodating. Their campground suited us very well, with our 25ft motorhome. There were very large RVs there as well. Its a smaller campground (and they have cottages as well), which suited us very much. They have a brand new salt water pool, a small playground and tons of manicured lawn to play on. They have fully serviced lots to great spots to pitch a tent - so something for everyone. Its on the water as well, so strolling on the beach is great fun at low tide. Grab the canoe and catch some mackerel off the point out front - great fun as well!! We are active people, so we enjoyed the short walk or cycle into Georgetown (2k) and beyond (Montague 20k). We will be back!!

We loved the waterfront spot and the beautiful view of the sunrise. The hosts were very hospitable when we arrived to guide us to the site and available if we needed anything. Easy drive to the site and large flat space for tents or RV camping.
