Campers Reviews
This beautifully placed campground is amazing and the scenery is even more spectacular. We have a fully serviced lot just off the lake and watched the eagles soaring around, fish jumping and people swimming. Very quite and relaxing place to stay, with cleanliness, lawned sites, and great trees for shade. Definitely will return.
Nice campground great access to the water for you boaters and friendly staff. Not many spots available for short term campers. Mostly full time units. Need anything it means a drive of at least 3km. camp sites are pretty close together.
This is a beautiful little campground that is a hidden gem. Mostly seasonal site but they have a few transient sites as well. Very friendly and helpful staff, great views, we were right down on the lake. It would be tight for rigs over 40 but our 36 5er and the truck fit ok in the site we had but some sites were smaller. Would definitely recommend this place and we will be back! We camped at Birch Grove RV Park & Marina in a Fifth Wheel.
My family and I went up to Nelson at the end of July and stayed in one of the RVs that they rent out. We stayed for 10 days and definitely wished we could have stayed longer. We had a great time and definitely plan to go back again next year!!! The property is really clean, beautiful and well maintained. The new owners are super friendly and helpful. There’s a cute beach, a marina, and a couple stores within minutes that had a wide range of groceries and liquor. The trailer was really cute and was equipped with everything we needed as far as bedding and kitchen supplies. I would highly recommend this place!
