Lakecroft

Paddling on the lake was lovely, and the hosts were friendly and accommodating. The peaceful grounds and well-kept bell tents made this a great step up from car camping without having to stay in a hotel. It's also close to Picton, the cideries, and Base 3. We only booked one night and wished we'd stayed longer. Each tent has a small fridge, so we wouldn't have needed coolers and ice. If we'd had more time, we'd have used the BBQ equipment and bought wood for a campfire. The hammocks are very relaxing, too. We'll definitely book more than one night next summer!

The tents are lovely and the spot is great. I wish there had been a communal area with basics for cooking and bathing, like silverware, plates, and towels. It would've also been good if the host had checked on us at least once during our stay. Still, we had a great experience.

The tents were close together, so there was no privacy. We could hear everything the couple next to us said. Getting to the washrooms and showers meant quite a walk, which felt scary at night, and the mosquitoes were so bad after dark that they could eat you alive if you stayed outside. Our tent was small, and the bed and little bits of furniture left barely any room. There was no AC, so I imagine it could get pretty hot and uncomfortable on a hot day. The waterfront tents share two BBQ machines, and ours was a cheap Walmart one-burner that took forever to heat food. My boyfriend and I booked a Lakecroft tent for a couples getaway, but we weren't impressed, especially considering the nightly price. Our friends couldn't believe we paid that much just to sleep in a tent. It was my first glamping trip at Lakecroft, and I think I'll stick with roofed accommodation from Parks Canada. It costs half as much, with much better amenities and service.

We spent three nights in the sea holly bell tent and couldn't fault it. It's a lovely place to relax and enjoy yourself, with free paddleboard use and easy access to the lake. The hosts are helpful and nearby if you need anything. The site is also close to sandbanks and other fun activities.
