We enjoyed a wonderful 3 months with you. Thank you for the excellent job you do and the extreme pride you take in the park facilities. You continue to raise the bar with new family activities, fire rings, signage, services, etc. We had many guests and family visit us in Au Gres, all of which commented on how nice the park and staff were.

Had a great stay this summer. Great activities throughout the summer, music, hot dogs and get-together, the weekly fishing contest, etc. The staff are all great and do an excellent job taking care of the park and the guests. Looking forward to coming back next summer for another 3 months!
