We had our wedding party here. The lady owner was rather accommodating as we had to change the dates twice. We appreciate that and she did let us start setting up a night before. However, some off coloured comments were made about if there was going to be “drumming” all night (my husband is Indigenous and we had set up some teepees for the party).
Despite us renting out half of the camp sites, cars were driving in and out of the property which we rented all night, which was relatively disruptive. Despite this, we had a nice time using the space.
Unfortunately, in the morning, when we still had the site for a full 24 hours, the male owner was extremely rude and abrasive to my family as we were taking down the structures we set up. He gave us trouble for dropping a pack of rope (we were not finished tearing down and would not have left it there), and then he made a comment asking where my parents lived so he could park on their lawn. He said this because my father had backed his truck up onto one of the sites to load all the things into it. When confronted about it, he got extremely defensive and insisted it was a joke. About 6 people heard his aggressive tone in his comment and it was extremely clear it was not a joke, he just wasn’t expected to be confronted about it.
Overall, the space was a 7/10, and the female owner was mostly pleasant. However, the stereotypical comment about Indigenous people, and the rudeness of her husband left a bitter taste in our mouth. You can likely find a better space for a similar price with a host who won’t harass you for trying to get off their property 24...

She would watch my children play and constantly get mad and belittle them. This place had so many wasps. We came back to our camper one night and so many wasps got into our camper. My children were crying as I got rid of them. If you're a child, you're going to be scared of wasps. Well the next morning, we woke up to the lady who runs the place, blaring her music, insanely loud behind our camper. From 7 AM! I came out of the camper to check what was going on and she asked me why the kids were screaming last night so I told her and she said "You're packing up right now and leaving!" My brother is handicapped so I had to get him ready, along with my kids before 11. We stayed 20 min past 11 and this lady demanded extra money for us going over. I handed her the extra money when we left but not before she had some happy words from me. I would not recommend this place because she seemed like she did not like us from the beginning because we are indigenous. We followed her rules. My kids stopped playing around the playground and riding bikes, like normal children do. She would constantly watch us and would be very rude to us. Do...

Elks Park is where our 5 grandchildren have grown-up, knowing no other summer home for granny and grandpa. It is a perfect location for us to visit family and friends. Host Holly and Rod have also watched our grandkids grow over the years and we can't thank them enough for all they do. They have allowed our grandkids the freedom to make the best of this wonderful park, and trust me the grandkids have in every way possible. They make it feel like home for us. Holly and Rod take great pride in the park, are gracious hosts, and are always willing to help in anyway to make our stay great. Over the years we have also seen them go out of their way to make other campers stay just as great. We look forward to our return once again next year. John and...
