Great quiet location for any camping. This portion of the island was without power so did not have access to everything the property had to offer but this was no fault of anyone and it’s camping it was nice to enjoy the outdoors

I hadnt realized this was in an older RV, somehow. I thought it would be a small cabin. To get into bed was a little tricky to not hit your head on the overhang. There was a very tight space either side of the bed to get into it. The bathroom is tiny. The larger room is nice and bright, and the location in the woods is beautiful. It was very close to the concert we attended in Cheticamp. The owners had a fun sense of humor with labeling light switches and key chains.

This stay was outside of my comfort zone as someone who doesn’t camp. The RV was fine for the most part, but a little tired and the toilet and the blinds were not the cleanest. The power was out for a few hours which can’t be controlled, but Shannon assured me he would hook up a generator if it remained out. It did come back on in the evening thankfully. I was told I was the only guest staying in an RV until the weekend so it was just Shannon the owner’s family, and I. Half of my shower was cold. I have medium length hair and there isn’t a lot of water pressure so I froze trying to get conditioner out of my hair. I was traveling solo but I felt safe on the property. The road leading in is loaded with potholes which probably doesn’t bother someone in a truck. The location is great, just off a cute subdivision and around the corner from Aucoin Bakery which is fabulous! The scenery is beautiful…right on the water. Lots of chestnuts falling and landing on top of the RV which is loud but I got used to it…‘tis the season. You can tell that Shannon takes a lot of pride in his property and accommodations, and he is a great guy! I’m sure any camper would love it there. Honestly I would stay there again….no frills that’s for sure but more than adequate.

Booked it , and didnt think to ask if there was power as I need to sleep with a CPAP machine.was delighted it was so accommodating. If we were staying a few more days it would have been nice to explore more

We ended up not staying at all. Site was very unkept. When we opened the door the musty/mildew odour was overwhelming. There was notes stating the possibilities of electrical issues. The stove consisted of an electrical hotplate placed over the units propane cooktop. Place was very unsuitable, we did not stay at aĺl after looking at situation. We left and found other accomodations
