About Us


Twin Lakes Camping is a second generation family-owned business that started as a dream back in 1966 @ which time Reginald Guillemette owned the property, then sold it only to purchase it back twenty years later and go ahead with building a campground.


Twin Lakes Historical Milestones:

 

1966-    Dream to build a campground but at this time, property was used for excavation and sale of sand and gravel and the dream was put on hold and property sold.

1986-    Réginald & Aline Guillemette purchased property again, excavating the last of viable gravel forming two lakes.

1987-1992  Long hours of construction from April to October every year. (finishing lakes and putting in infrastructure)

1992-    Open camping business with a beach, 3 lots, public washrooms, laundromat and built the chipstand.

1993-1996  The house and office were constructed, and in the next few years, more lots were added, flowerbeds and  pavingstone walkways around the lake.
 
1997- Waterslide, 220 feet long was purchased, reconditioned and installed.  A train car was also brought in and turned into 4 rental units.  Each one being a housekeeping unit offering a fridge, stove, microwave, toaster, a futon which makes into a double bed, a set of bunk beds, a small bathroom and air conditioning.
