If you're a tenter or a tent pop up or even a small camper trailer this place is probably not for you. Typical RV park arrangement with no privacy, no shade and no windbreaks and perhaps 50% seasonal rentals. Lots of gravel and the also sadly the usual poorly graded pot holed roads. Oh yeah, there is a tree here. Charming.
The one plus is that there is ample light and mirrors in the rest rooms to actually be able to shave or trim your beards, but unfortunately the Men's room lacks an exhaust fan and the unheated showers require one hand to depress the water valve, making showering cold and somewhat annoying.
Wifi is only available in the laundry room, in the office where there's a small cocktail table to sit at under the headmistress' glare, and perhaps the first row of campers closest to the office, so be ready to take a walk to check your emails.
Perhaps the biggest and most important annoyance is the incessant wind and fog, which the staff refuse to acknowledge, but if you talk around it appears that everyone else knows this location is famous for. We haven't slept for 2 nights due to incredibly strong buffeting winds shaking our fairly substantial pop up tent trailer. Never again at this site for us.
There are many better options for us transients just a short ways north of here.

Started the camping scene this year. Have been here several times and each time is a good experience. The owners are very down to earth people who welcome you very openly. The park is well maintained at all times. The washrooms, showers and laundry room are kept very clean. The camp grounds are also well maintained. There is a lovely play ground for the children. Along with a paved court for basketball or street hockey. A small homemade ramp is available for children to use there scooters and skateboards. The rec room is used for various things...games for kids,movie night, take out items, cook ups, crafts, adult nights, etc. The open pond is great for sea-doing or other water fun. I would recommend the BlueFin R.V. Trailer Park to anyone who wishes to have an enjoyable camping trip in a peaceful family oriented scene.

Very open park, mainly gravel, nice lake. Positioned to easily visit the different regions of the Avalon Peninsula.
