The facilities are quite basic, and privacy could be improved. The garden landscaping is rather ordinary, though the air is fresh, so there was hardly any motivation to take photos. Its main highlight is the location, as it sits next to a lovely park.

Great experience. Check-in was quick. Park is huge with lots of space between campers. Kitchen, BBQ, and washrooms were brand new. Laundry takes 2x $2 coins per machine. Overall great stay would recommend. Recommendations for park: double sided dump stations to allow more efficient departure times
