Bates Beach Oceanfront Resort

Small lovely family friendly campsite. You'll hear the waves at all sites. We loved bates beach being watched by the seals on the rocks at low tide. Our kids loved the adventure playground on the site, thank you for the great stay 👍

Location is great! Get a waterfront spot. We didn't have one and the weather was wet. We were in a corner so no sun. Everything was damp. But the price is right. The view is amazing. Very pet friendly. Lots of barking dogs. Sites were clean. Staff are friendly. The weekend was a bit loud until about 1. Other nights were quiet. This was our 18th spot in 90 days.

Beautiful location, small tenting sites without much privacy. But they do have a few big trees around that provide shade which is nice. We had a very poor experience with their guest service. We were two adults with a very small backpacking tent each to sleep in. They wouldn’t allow us to put both small tent on the site despite having sufficient room. They have a rule of only one tent per site, (with a maximum of 5 people from the same family). The reason behind this rule is to ease pressure on their water/sewage systems (questionable reason for such a rule, since two individuals in the same tent do not consume more water!). We kindly offered creative solutions to allow us not to be obligated to share our small tent, but it was declined. They did offer us to pay for another campsite to pitch our second small tent on which tell us what their true reason for this rule is…

Expensive no visitors no extra tent even if willing to pay. If a visitor comes they can't use the washrooms. Worst 2 notes I've spent at a campsite. Campsite 20' X 35' we kept bumping into the neighbour's while setting up. No privacy!

Got a tent site here for 2 nights. Extended it to 3. Yes, the place is a little dated and cramped, but it is well maintained, and the location is A1. Miles of beaches, quiet and friendly management. A great spot to veg out and watch the world slide by.
