🎒TRaiL BlaZZZER & river side 🏕️🎣
Great place to camp, surrounded by nature. Gerry helped us a lot to get our things down/up to/from our site to the parking area. Read the instructions before coming, it is a real camping experience. Recommended!

CoZzy Nest River Side #3.
Great experience
Nice campsites. Fair warning, because of the rain, some areas are a bit waterlogged, and mosquitoes are abundant, at the end of August.
Gerry (the host) was great, took good care of us and checked up regularly on us to make sure everything was good.
He also made sure we settled in well on the first day, and guided us to various paths and nice spots on his property.
It's "rustic", no drinking water on site, no power, and an outhouse, but that's good for camping!
Also, pretty easy to reach, about 1h20 min from Montreal, about 40-50 min from Ottawa.
Very dog friendly, and you can go offleash.
Finally, definitely buy the wood from Gerry, you get more than enough for a day (about 20-25 logs) with the basic day option, it's all hardwood, and very dry, so less smoke and a lot of heat output.
I will definitely be returning to the property and might try a site on a different part of the property next time.

Awesome plot and amazing host! Gerry was super friendly and welcoming and took the time to make sure we were ok and showed us around. We asked if there were walking trails and he personally escorted us and showed us around. He’s very energetic and talkative too. As avid campers we were worried that the plot would lack privacy but this was not the case. Each plot is totally separate and covered in beautiful trees and vegetation. Would definitely come back, 10/10 experience.

Beware of blatant inaccuracy
Extremely disappointing and misleading. We're very unsure how Gerry has been getting away with these incredibly misleading photos and descriptions. It's concerning how Hicamps has awarded him with multiple host awards This property is under a very busy loud underpass and between 2 unswimmable brown rivers. You're lucky if you're on the side with the louder river that will drain out the sounds of cars speeding by above. He's clearly quite tactful in his curation of his ads. He said verbatim "I'm not sure why anyone would want to camp here". We witnessed someone leaving angry shortly after arrival. He inappropriately complained about guests being disappointed and requesting refunds. There was a giant pile of trash on our site, unfinished long abandoned projects, the 1 and only shared toilet is open-air and plainly visible from the only pedestrian+ car path, towels hanging off of trees from previous guests. The place is in total disarray and he will blame it all on weather. I'm wondering if most of the people camping here are from the city and are very unexperienced with being outside. We weren't expecting much from the price but to be totally manipulated and deceived and it to blatantly be confirmed by Gerry, that is unacceptable. This guy knows what he is doing and you wont be refunded.

🦅 Eagles Nest #4.
The space we booked was covered in mud. Not just a a little spot but the whole space. We couldn’t put our tent there. This should have been communicated upon us booking as we did it just a few days before. We feel it was dishonest.
