  • Visit The Donut Shop: A short drive away is The Donut Shop of Eagle Bay, perfect for breakfast treats.

Important Considerations

  • Note that terrains are rough; bikes are recommended over electric scooters for navigating the area.
  • While many guests enjoy the friendly atmosphere, experiences with cleanliness can vary, so be prepared to do a little tidying upon arrival.
  • If visiting during peak times, expect busy weekends and potentially crowded events or attractions.
  • While the staff generally offer a warm welcome, experiences with guest services can sometimes fluctuate.

Overall Thoughts

Thankful to get a cottage instead of a cabin. The cottages have a bathroom, mini fridge with freezer, 2 small stove top burners, a microwave, sink, and table and 4 chairs...the cabins do not. (Cottage 23) Everything outside such as the picnic table, other tables, chairs, and charcoal grill were all going down a hill made it interesting to cook and be able to sit around the campfire. You will definitely want to bring padding to put on the mattresses. Very rough and rocky terrain I suggest bikes instead of electric scooters. Also bring peanuts! We were able to feed chipmunks peanuts out of our hands! You're able to rent paddle boats by the hour (we rented 2, I think it was $38). You're also able to rent go carts for your stay. Colyspo's Cove and Water Safari is 5 minutes down the road or the camp resort also has a shuttle. A must stop for the best donuts and breakfast sandwiches is a place up the rd less than 10 miles away is called The Donut Shop of Eagle Bay! Overall a great trip and experience for all of the family to enjoy.

Was a good trip, went to the water park & it was PACKED during the weekend. I would recommend going on a weekend only if you can't do a week day trip for that, staff is friendly & most are from Canada / hint of french in their voices. Only downside for this trip was someone bought there baby camping & got woken up by their child screaming for 3 hours, also all the "carts" they rent get taken before people actually schedule their day & would receive getting it before hand.

I had the best time going there ever I believe that the cabins are a little small and that they need to turn off their pilot light during the summer. But all in all 10 out of 10 also the rooms could be cleaned a little bit better I watched the housekeeping going and clean out one of the cabins and they didn't do a very good job. The mop look pretty dirty.

Cottages aren't worth the money *at all*. When we got there, the premium spot we reserved next to our friends in February apparently was taken so we ended up in the total opposite end of the park- sucks, but not the end of the world. It was a busy weekend. We got to the cottage, stepped on the porch and there was a pair of dirty clear gloves, I assume from the housekeeper, and a cigarette on the railing to greet us- whatever, I threw it away. When we walked in their was candy wrappers in the beds and the mattresses (which are glorified high school wrestling mats and they should really write that somewhere so you know to take a topper if you've never been there) were soaking wet. The place was also loaded with spider webs and dust. Was it worth switching the cottage and making a huge fuss? No, I cleaned it up. Was it worth $522 a weekend? Also no. As far as guest services, every single worker in the main lodge was wildly rude to speak to, like you were inconveniencing THEM and by reading other reviews that seems like it's their norm. Old forge though? Beautiful. Will be back, just at a different location,

Everything about the cabin was nice and comfortable. I would definitely visit again. The only down side is the mattress pads they have on the beds. They aren't very comfortable and don't really allow for a good sleep. Otherwise the bathrooms are remarkably clean and the grounds are beautiful.
