We had an amazing stay at this campsite over the weekend! The location is perfect, peaceful, scenic, and exactly what we were hoping for. Alex was incredibly welcoming, helpful, and made sure everything was set up for a comfortable stay. You can really tell they put care into the place. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

One of the most breathtaking natural spots you’ll ever find. Camping right beside a private waterfall feels truly magical, and the hosts were exceptionally kind and responsive throughout our stay. This is an experience you won’t want to miss.

Amazing location! The sound of the rushing waterfall is mesmerizing and melts away stress. The location is so amazing it counteracts some of the downsides of the campground. As it is newly opened these may just be growing pains. Please note there is no room for large tents. We have a tiny 2 person Marmot and were still unable to find a flat setup location.

We loved this property so much! It’s stunningly beautiful with amazing water access on the river and a lake. The amenities made camping easy: fire ring at the tent site, toilets, trash & recycling containers, plus the kayak & paddle boards available to rent. We saw deer, an ancient looking tortoise in the water, all kinds of birds, frogs, and fish which delighted the kids. Xavier was really kind and helpful. One of my all time favorite campsites!

We couldn’t have asked for a better spot! Just as other reviews said, this place is truly a gem. It has everything you need - waterfalls, a lake, potable water, toilets, and even reliable data reception. Xavier was incredibly accommodating and hands-on, which made the experience even more commendable. We’ll definitely be coming back for more adventures here! 💚

We had an absolutely breathtaking time. Astrid & Xavier were phenomenal hosts. Attentive, knowledgeable, kind, friendly, available, and considerate. We have never camped anywhere like this. The location is beautifully situated, nestled under the trees, under the stars. We swam in the waterfall, paddles across the river, and watched the rain gently come down on the rocks atop the waterfall. It is truly a special place. Thank you again Astrid and Xavier! We can’t wait to come back again and again! A truly peaceful and magical time.

Each camp site has its own charm, with a private view of a body of water (whether it be the waterfall, the river or the lake)!

A wonderful place to camp. We had a private spot facing the waterfall. The camping spot are well spaced out, the views are spectacular. The hosts were very nice and welcoming. It’s a bit more of a roughing it style, the road in is rough, outhouse bathrooms, the terrain is a little difficult for large tents. . But that is what makes it beautiful, it’s not an RV parking lot. We are already planning on going again.

The campsite was absolutely stunning, with several spots to choose from—each offering a beautiful view of the river. I would recommend it without hesitation! The road from the 315 to the site is a bit bumpy, and water is only available at the reception (just a short walk away). But honestly, those are such minor inconveniences that I’m really stretching to find any negatives. It’s also wonderfully dog-friendly—my pup had the best time exploring and enjoying the outdoors alongside us. The hosts, Astrid and Xavier-Loup, were incredibly accommodating and welcoming. Thank you both for everything—you made the stay even more enjoyable!

This was the best experience camping coming from my husband who camps quite frequently. This was my first time camping and I was beyond happy and comfortable. The site is very large but private. There is a scenic waterfall by campsites to the left and a gorgeous lake to the right. There are no mosquitos or flys from the waterfall. There are canoes and Kayaks available on site. The owners are lovey couple who ensured we were happy and had everything we needed. We are coming back next summer 100%. We have already told our friends and family about this gem of a place.

Super terrain, vue directe sur l'eau peut importe le terrain. Lac calme, possible de faire canoe, kayak, paddle board, etc. Il y a 7km possible à faire sur l’eau. Le host a pris le temps de nous montrer chaque terrain disponible pour qu’on puisse choisir où dormir (différentes vue : lac, chutes).

Beautiful piece of land, small, with only a few sites, but great if you want something quieter and more natural. Our site looked over the waterfalls which was absolutely beautiful and it also masked over any other sounds, creating more seclusion in nature. We paddle boarded down the lake and into a lovely stream but the best parts were the views! Great little place to camp and relax.
