I was impressed at how clean the park and facilities were.
Showers are big enough and have unlimited hot water.
As of October 2016, they are remodeling part of the toilet block. The section that is still open is plenty big to handle the capacity, but is shared for both men and women. I look forward to when the new part is open.

This park was clean and well maintained.
It is co-located with a motel of the same name so there are other facilities on site which you can use.
Even though it was Labour Weekend, it was not crowded. I never had to wait to use the kitchen or showers. The showers do not have a built-in seat, so I just brought in a plastic chair to keep my dry clothes from getting wet.
There is easy access to the other side of SH1 through a pedestrian underpass so you can go get groceries, find a restaurant, or get information on activities.

Even though it was a busy time of the year, the park did not feel crowded.
The showers were new and clean with much more room than average and a shower head that goose necked up high so that I could fit under the shower head.
The common room had a ping pong table and lots of room to relax. The kitchen was busy but we could always get in to prepare meals.
The only two things that I would improve is another microwave or two in the kitchen and a seat in each of the shower stalls.
