"The park is nice, but noisy from trains and the highway. The view of Lake Ontario is lovely and calming. Breezes from the lake can be quite cool. Cell service is horrible and you need to make sure you aren’t roaming as it picks up signals from New York across Lake Ontario."
"Pleasantly surprised by this campground. Our site was large, well shaded and reasonably private. Trails and beach were lovely. Cute bunnies and chipmunks to watch."
"This was our first trip (ever in our new Airstream) Close enough to Toronto Large Campsite (no need to back up for our smaller 16ft Trailer) The site was in Radio-Free zone (so it was peaceful as no one had any music)."
