Mara Provincial Park Review
Central Ontario
🗓️ Summer (May to September)
Mara Provincial Park is a recreational park established in 1970, covering 45.25 hectares on the northern shore of Lake Simcoe. It is known for its wide, sandy beach, considered one of the best in Lake Country, offering excellent swimming opportunities. The park also provides access to Lake Simcoe for boating and fishing, and is a popular spot for family camping and picnics.

"Mara Provincial Park is a small park & campground on the northern shore of Lake Simcoe. The campground area shows devastation from emerald ash borer. The sites have zero privacy and are wide open. This park is more for chilling on the beach than intensive recreation. The large beach area is the main attraction."
"The park is clean and well-maintained. The beach is a decent size and the park is generally quiet with large, private sites. There's a park on the beach that my kids love. We camped at Mara Provincial Park and enjoyed our stay."
"We had a really great time at Mara. While the weather didn’t always cooperate during our stay, we were able to make some use of all the facilities at this park. We would only come back during the hot summer months when we could make use of the beach. While there was nothing really wrong with this park, it was definitely not a favourite."
