We waited over a year to be able to visit the wonderful parks of Quebec (Covid times if you are…read morefrom the future). This park is less than 1 hour from Ottawa and has a wonderful discovery. There is a lunch point for canoes or kayaks near the main entrance and some campgrounds. We came here for the hike, the hike itself is a 6.6 Km trail that is suited for bikes (very wide and flat) The trail is super easy and with an 8 and a 4-year-old it took us 2-3 hours to complete with plenty of stops. Some of the trails are not for bikes and they could be detoured (with other trails) but those are the most beautiful and must hike trails (including a wonderful swamp part). So if you are on a bike, consider locking it and walking those parts. Mosquitos- when we did the trail is was a bit windy and with a lot of dragon flies, so no mosquitos here. Also, there are only short parts in the woods most are an open space paths. Overall wonderful discovery and a beautiful park !

We camped at Charleston Lake Provincial Park early July. Our site was large and perched on a hill,…read morebacking onto a forested area. No other campers were close to us, so the site felt private. There were flush toilets and showers near the site which were super convenient. The park itself is well maintained, including the beach areas. We enjoyed hiking the trails and also took advantage of the park's canoe rental. It cost $28 for a full day rental, which included two life jackets and the paddles. Will definitely be back!

We spent 3 nights and 4 days camping in this beautiful park this summer and were totally thrilled…read morewith how well maintained the entire campground was and how private our site was. The comfort stations were meticulously clean and water stations were always just a short stroll from our site. There are 2 shallow beaches that were rarely crowded during our stay. There is kayak and canoe rentals available and we took advantage of the canoe rental to go fishing in the lake. Fishing was phenomenal as almost every cast returned at leave a small sunfish, perfect for young/beginner shoreline angler like my daughter. There are plenty of hiking trails and wild life. While fishing, we spotted some water snakes, giant snapping turtles and many frogs/toads. Only downside was the amount of mosquitoes we had to fight off due to plentiful rainfall earlier in the season. We would definitely return to camp here again and next time, we'll be sure to book for a week as the 4 days just flew right on by!

Campground itself is very clean and meticulously maintained. The ONLY negative I can find is, they could use more trees between and around the sites. I understand there may be more Fall clean up, but it is so level, I don't think it would be all that difficult to clean up. Sorry, coming from the Adirondack area, we're used to alot more trees. But again, overall, I would definitely recommend this campground, and can forsee future travels there.

We were a group of eight tent campers and required a site that could accommodate two large tents…read moreand had electricity. I also needed a place that could accommodate my pickup truck along with a 30 foot trailer which was hauling our boat. Upon arrival at Riverside Acres I've met John, one of the owners.  He got me signed in pretty quickly and then guided/led us directly to where our site was because it was dark. We were able to park my truck and boat right on the same site as where we were camping.  The site #49 was huge and had water and electric. The next morning we met, Pam the other owner. She was out making her rounds, cleaning the restrooms and making sure all the campers had everything they needed.  We had a very pleasant conversation and we learned that these two (John & Pam) recently purchased this Campground just a few short years ago. They are making upgrades to the property as time and budget allows.    1. They have an area for seasonal RV's and campers which is pretty well established. Many of these sites the seasonal renters have built on patio, porches, decks, screen rooms Etc.  It's a cozy little environment and the seasonal folks that I met were very kind to us transient Tent campers.  2.  The general area for RV's and tents is off to the right of the seasonal area.  Here you will find a few sites against a wall of trees toward the back of the campground that offers some seclusion/shade. Looking back towards the front of campgrounds and now to the left is the rest of the area.  These open sites run along the high ground which overlooks a HUGE open field that is well maintained. Site #49 on this side is the only site with a large pine tree.  3. Cottages!  This property also offers cottages on the front of the property along the main road.  Now, these cottages are fairly dated but the owners have done some nice things to give them an updated feel, while maintaining the originality/nostalgia value here.  For example, the cottages have antique looking Kitchenette type stoves that are probably worth some money to those who are into the classic pieces.   I know I told you we were tent camping, but we ended up staying in a cottage after a nasty storm rolled through at 2 AM and very quickly displaced us.  About the epic storm... out of nowhere in the middle of the night, the thunder and fierce lightning came in, bring with it, hail and a torrential downpour. Our tents were no match for the excessively high wind gusts which leveled our tents and allowed for a foot of water to cover the bottom of the floor within just a few short minutes. We scrambled to get ourselves and children out of the colapsed tent and into our nearby vehicle for shelter. I went back out into the storm to salvage our children's Electronics and some other necessities out of the collapsed tent. It was then I Heard a Voice calling for us to seek shelter in the main Campground building. As I looked over my shoulder in the down pouring rain and complete darkness it was then I was able to see in the crackling flashes of lightning, Pam!!!!!   Pam had ventured out in the nasty storm to make sure her guest were okay and knew where to seek shelter.  So, us and the other fellow tent campers that evening took up refuge in the game room. Pam was fantastic!  She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed to at least be comfortable and safe for the night.  The next day it was time to clean up our site and see what we could salvage.  After the toll this storm took on our tents, canopy and everything else, we decided it best to pack it up and head out, cutting our vacation short.  Pam wouldn't hear of it.  She gave us a tour of the only open cottage she had without a renter and said we could stay there for the next two days!!!   So, that's what we did! Picked up, packed up and moved camp over the the cottage.  We were warm, dry and cozy with our own private shower!!!! It was perfect for our current situation! Then, the next day I locked my keys in my running truck.  John allowed me to go into his shop, cut some wood strips on his miter saw for wedges and loaned me an already straightened out coat hanger.  I was able to open my truck in about 2 minutes with the help of his make shift tools!  These two host/owners were awesome.  They became our friends and by the end of our stay, it didn't feel right leaving without a firm handshake and a hug!!!  We will be back to support this campground and what all it has to offer: Pros: * Fantastic people who own it * Pool for the kids * Playground for the kids * Large sites * Water and electric * Hot Showers * Right next to town (Clayton) * Public boat launch close by * Great base to go and explore the 1000 Islands * Friendly fellow campers/seasonal campers * Lots of space to keep my trailer/boat onsite. * Very reasonably priced * Clean - Owners active everyday * We had a great time
