This campsite offers a large, peaceful, and private space perfect for group gatherings or family outings. The highlight is the easy access to a beautiful lake, ideal for swimming and canoeing, with a gazebo providing shelter from rain or bugs. While most reviews praise the spaciousness and natural beauty, a few note issues with uncut grass and bugs, suggesting occasional maintenance lapses. The site is dog-friendly and provides a great backdrop for both relaxation and activities.

Satisfied - would stay again!

The site was really large. Perfect for a group of friends. We set up in a circle around the fire pit. Very private and peaceful. Loved the water front site, and the roofted area was perfect for the little hour of rain we got. Would stay again!

This site was exactly as described, beautiful! We had not gone camping in a while and this was the perfect site to get us back into it. Big open space, a beautiful little lake with nice shallow sandy entry. The gazebo was perfect since we did run into some heavy rain. Plenty of room for our two big pups to play and swim.

We had a great time despite the rain. The structure on the land and the outhouse made camping in the rain a dream. A beautiful spot, right on the water. Easy drive up a sandy road

Great spot for camping with pets!
Tent · With pets
Beautiful view and large open space. Quiet area as well so great for off-leash dog walks. The covered dining area was great for when it was rainy or buggy. Probably the only downside is that the land is not maintained so the grass was quite high in some areas, but this didn't affect our experience significantly. We will be back!

Private water access on turtle lake
Tent
This is truly one of the nicest campsites I’ve stayed at with a beautiful gazebo and private lake access. Unfortunately the host was completely unresponsive for a few months leading up to the weekend and the grounds were unkept, so that felt disappointing/concerning, but with a bit of care this could be a top camping experience for sure. There were really cute turtles in the lake and the water was perfect.

L'emplacement est parfait, cest un grand espace loin de la route principale et loin des voisins ! Nous avons pu profiter du lac pour se baigner et pour pêche (les enfants ont sortit quelques Achigan!
Les seuls deux points négatifs sont que la végétation sur le terrain était très longue ( probablement pas entretenu depuis un certain temps pas, mais pas trop derengeant) et que nous avons tenté de communiqué via l'application avec l'hote mais nous n'avons eu aucune réponse!
Je recommande fortement !!

The experience in my group was mixed, the grass in field was very tall, if it was any taller it would have been difficult to find a place to put our tents. But the biggest problem the tall grass made was the bugs. There were endless bugs, if the grass were to be cut it would be much better. The beach is not sandy, it is grass/weeds until the water and then a little sand and then just seaweed. There are chalets to rent extremely close by to the site and our neighbors on both sides were extremely loud and ruined the peace we expected have in nature. The enclosed gazebo was as expected and provided relief from the bugs, there were however many holes in the net. The outhouse...is an outhouse no complaints from me. The lake was nice, we took the canoe from one side to the other in about 15 minutes. All in all we left a night early as we were not really having a great time. My recommendation to the host is to maintain the site a little: Cut grass and fix the holes in the net on the gazebo.

It was a lovely place secluded enough to enjoy our time with ours dogs! The gazebo was a nice addition to have our meal bugs free and play board games at night. The sunset and sunrise were beautiful. We will come back next year for sure!

Great campsite!
Tent · With pets
Gorgeous campsite! We loved tent camping here with our dog. The gazebo is a life saver. Rain or shine you’ll be able to keep yourself and any important things dry. the lake is clean & beautiful with a nice walk up beach. Overall the site is very spacious and private, i like that the water is shared with some nearby cottages. Would love to come back with a larger group!

Very spacious and private site surrounded by trees. Covered gazebo is fantastic for cooking or hanging out. Access to small Sandy beach and beautiful quiet lake is great for swimming. Velo-route nearby and store in town has all the basics you need. We have been here before and will definitely be back. Thanks Dominique!

Best Camping Experience!
Tent · With kids
This camp site was so beautiful, better than we imagined. The gazebo is perfect to eat meals in, relax at night and provides a shaded area. Although there are so many options for shade with the beautiful surrounding trees. The water access was perfect for my toddler since it's sand and shallow enough for her to play by the shore without being fully submerged. The fire pit was great for cooking our meals, would definitely recommend camping here.

A really great and relatively secluded spot! It has a wonderful walk-in Sandy beach, the site is large with plenty of open space and the screened-in gazebo was a godsend when the bugs were out!
Definitely recommend for a little getaway!

This is a great site for group or family camping. There are plenty of locations for tents and vans. There are bathrooms and there is a screened in dining area. The beach is nice and is a good spot to go fishing, paddling, or swimming. There is plenty of space to set up some yard games and have a great time. I definitely recommend this especially for family or group camping.

Another great stay at South Sandy Beach. Beautiful, quiet setting and close to the Trans Canada Trail make it ideal for those wanting to connect with nature and do some serious walking and trail riding in.

Beautiful, Peaceful location
20 ft travel trailer · Group trip
The site and location are beautiful and quiet, the lake offers clear clean water and a easy sandy entry. Dominique was a great host - very responsive and generous with her time whenever we had any questions or needed more information. Between the lake and the very close proximity to the Trans Canada Trail, as well as the local amenities in nearby village, this is a perfect spot for a romantic getaway or a family weekend or longer. I would highly recommend the site and Dominique as a host. We have already rebooked for 10 days next summer!

Very lovely area
Tent · Group trip
A real nice camping spot with everything you need to make the experience more fun. The netted gazebo really came in handy during the rainy days and was a nice area to chill. The land is huge and can fit a lot of people for any big groups, the outdoor washrooms was also a nice touch. I brought a friend for their first camping experience and I chose this area because it had it all, they loved it. The grill in the fire pit has three different levels which made it fun to experiment cooking on a campfire. I would definitely come back. The host Dominique was very nice and accomodating.
