2br cabin suited our stay, a little older than the one at another local park we stayed at. Kitchenette had 2 hotplates and a microwave but no oven - we used the one oven that was located in the Camp Kitchen. We loved the onsite mini-golf and the Shaws Bay location can't be beat. We would stay here again.

Staff on check-in was great. The location & park superb. Cabin was very comfortable but the cleanliness did need some work as had to clean up after previous guests (ie stove & kitchen bench tops had food splatter / spills / stains that were definitely from a previous occupant).
