"Visited in February. Weather very nice. Well kept and clean."
"We stayed here in an Eco Tent. Nice view and comfortable. Washroom/shower near tent. Do not eat or drink in the tent. Only water. We had beverages at the picnic table. There is a lodge where you can eat here. Very nice!"
"Amazing place, quiet and beautiful. BEWARE with the mosquitos and yellow flies. You can rent kayaks, canoes and boats. Also, there are excursions on boat. Bathrooms are clean. After 6pm everything is closed, so secure whatever you need before that time. We would do it again, maybe in winter."
"We stayed for one night at the end of March and wish we had stayed longer. These are furnished with everything you need to be comfortable during your stay, including towels (shower use included in cost of tent; bathroom and shower house is a short walk away and secured with a keypad code). Sitting out on the little porch watching the sunset was one of our highlights of this trip."
"Eco-tents too basic be called "glamping" and very inconvenient because no food or drinks are allowed in tents. We were basically eating meals in the parking lot next to the bathrooms (that's where picnic tables are). Also, ugly view of other camp area with giant mowed lawn the size of several soccer fields (not pretty or natural). Picnic tables by bathrooms not very nice at all, and almost no shade. Eco-tents are nice, and right on the water, but no nightstands, and only one obnoxiously bright light! Double bed was too small for 2 people. If tent flaps are open (for view) and lamp is on at night, then everyone walking by can see you! No privacy. You can drive to marina for coffee and limited food options, but no real restaurant or cafe, just a food truck with overpriced items. Eco-tent picnic area needs trees, landscaping. No amenities or little extras. Disappointing. I was mislead by the word "clamping." It's just camping."
