Camp Chimo Trail @Camp Chimo There is a trail from Camp Chimo that follows the Rouge River. The trail goes on open fields and into forests. It is elevated and you can look down into the Rouge River where you can see people canoeing. The view of the river is beautiful. There are also mountain bikers. We parked the car near Markville Mall and just walked to the Camp.

Excellent place for kids during summer camp. My son enjoyed and because of no space we are eagerly waiting for the next turn to join the camp. Although sitting place needs more comfortable and expansion, otherwise its good.

i hate this place. yes, the activities they have and the place itself is great but the people were horrible. i would give this zero stars if i could. the fellow campers there were extremely racist to me and made me highly uncomfortable, even throwing things and bring inappropriate to me. the counsellors did nothing and i had hell there. this is the same camp that made KIDS LICK TOILETS and STRIP for prizes. bad management and does nothing about bullies and racists.
