"This park is great for families, though checking in on a Friday afternoon can be slow due to over 1000 campsites and one entrance. Our site was nice, long and wide. The price includes senior discount and HST."
"This is a very large campground with over 860 sites, offering bike and hiking trails, and boat rentals. There are no full hook-ups and only two dump stations, which can be a minor inconvenience. We visited during the week and had no issues."
"Pinery Park is amazing and our go-to campground, visiting at least twice a year. We prefer the radio-free section of Riverside campground to enjoy the sounds of nature. It's a fantastic place to escape the usual noise and relax."
