I have been coming to lilac resort my entire life. We haven't missed a season since 2008. The pools are clean and immaculate. The slides are fun and well maintained as well. The entertainment is incredible, always something happening at the pool Stage/tiki bar/main stage. My family has made so many incredible memories here throughout the years and we are always looking forward to our next stay. The resort let's you bring in your own food into the pool area (no franchise food) and your own alcohol. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained and the event weekends (Halloween in August, Christmas in July etc) are phenomenal. Staff is friendly and the owners are very easy to talk to. Lilac resort used to have mini golf, and I think they should bring it back!... Yes, I am that old! Just saying in regards to the review mentioning "swingers" that is nonsense, I've been a loyal guest since I was a kid and never seen anything remotely close to a "swingers" hub . Lilac is an excellent family vacation destination. Definitely check it out! You gotta book fast though, usually a year in advance for certain weekends. read more

Absolutely Disgraceful Experience - Racially Profiled in Front of My Family I stayed at Lilac Resort with my wife and children just two days ago. The next morning, the owner approached me and said the RCMP had instructed him to record number plates of people staying long-term and "doing paving." I found this odd but said no problem. Later that evening, while having a BBQ with my kids, I was approached by an RCMP officer who said I had been reported as a paving scammer. I was shocked. He asked for ID and questioned me -- all based on a false report from the resort. I confronted the owner, and he tried to brush it off, but the RCMP made it clear it was him who called. This happened purely because I'm Irish -- a disgusting and offensive stereotype. I was treated like a criminal in front of my own children, for no reason other than my ethnicity. This kind of racial profiling is not only morally wrong -- it's also legally unacceptable. No one should be targeted because of where they come from. On top of that, I've seen others complain about the number of surveillance cameras around the hot tubs -- which I also found strange and inappropriate for a family setting. I do not recommend staying here. If you care about respect and basic decency, stay away. read more

I love it here. This is a resort that offers fun for children and adults. The waterpark has three pools with water slides, hot tubs, basketball nets, splash pad, and lots of games for the kids. A perk of staying overnight or having a seasonal site is that you can get in line for a nine am open to get a table or loungers by the pool but don't leave your stuff unattended for more than 20 minutes or you may lose your spot (per the rules). For adults on a Friday night you can typically enjoy a live band and dancing at the tiki bar and/or soak in the hottubs and on most Saturday nights the band is at the main stage where you can dance barefoot in the sand under the stars, sit with friends at a picnic table, or enjoy the massive bonfire at the back. There are movie nights for the kids, killer fireworks for Canada Day, Santa visits for Christmas in July, kids go around to seasonal sites for trick or treating in August, golf tournament fundraisers, and I'm sure more that I've forgotten. Note, the unfair negative reviews prompted me to leave this. Clearly this is a park for fun and excitement so complaining about otherwise is lame because you didn't do your research. And as an attractive single woman that frequents the pool, I have never experienced a group of learing men or swingers in the five years I've frequented Lilac Resort. read more

Loved it. Water park is exceptional, as it's catered for all ages. Great place to stay, our family loved our vacation here.

We stayed there summer and it was a terrible experience. I was warned beforehand it was a hub for swingers to hang out and it sure seemed that way. First off, it was WAY overpriced. To rent a cabin for a weekend over $600 (only two nights!). Second, the staff seemed stuck up and were not friendly. Third, they have their seasonal guests who go to the pool first thing in the morning and throw down their bags and towels and then take off for the day leaving crappy seating for the weekend guests & day guests. Also, I found it disgusting how many of the regular guests were middle-aged to older men, who would sit at the pool and stare at the young moms! It was very uncomfortable. There was evening entertainment which we were excited to go for an evening stroll and see what it was all about, it was FULL of drunk old people and wreaked of pot. Very disappointing experience, we won't be back and will be sharing our experience with as many people as possible! read more
