Zone 9 has a really nice view of Long’s lake, and is quite a large space. The zone 9 campsite has several useful amenities such as power, picnic table, water for laundry, shower, and cooking. In terms of privacy, the zones are spread out from one another, but if it is booked full, it might be less private. The toilet is on the outskirts of one of the zones, so one would have to cut through another zone to get to the washroom.
Several things could be better…location was a bit noisy being next to a highway and noise from the water sports at the lake. The upper zones could definitely use stairs to make trips with more gear easier to haul up to (I had a lot of stuff and the hill was steep and sand which made it really difficult). The sand also got into my tent and was not ideal. The toilet cabin was extremely small and not very practical for anyone over 6ft…i used the public toilet by the lake because it was easier to stand in and close the door. The instructions for power and water could have been more clear, and the line for hanging laundry definitely needs to be stronger than a cheap string - the string broke while I was doing laundry.
Overall, not a bad place for camping…2.5 stars out of 5. certainly lots of potential, but needs work to be a 5 star experience.
