Great and Friendly

This campground has a lot of amenities for what you pay. You can get a site with just water, or electric and water. Can do RV or tent. Warm showers and playground for kids with communal areas. Quiet and dark both nights and the staff is very friendly, the campground is in the family. Will definitely stay here again!

Great Place

Clean, quiet and well maintained. Only downside is the showers are literally in the same space as the pooper stalls in the washroom. Washroom incredibly clean though.

I saw in a previous review a note that the firewood was very green, in our case it was wildly dry and fast burning. Guess it depends 😉

Wonderful place to stay

My wife and I along with our eldest daughter stayed at this campground.  Marion - one of the owners - was very friendly and helpful with everything from the start of our stay.  Gave us information and some interesting parks in the area.

On a side note the wood bundles were still some what green and made starting a fire difficult, but overall 5 out of 5 for us.

Terrific Campground

We’ve visited Fernwood Forest Campground twice and have been impressed with it both times. Large sites with trees give lots of privacy. Very clean sites and facilities are cleaned to meet COVID requirements. Very quiet. Good local access to numerous hiking trails in the area. We’ll certainly go again the future.
