This conservation area is located pretty much in the middle of the city. It provides a great location to be close to the reservoir and enjoy some nature. There are various shelters available for booking as well as picnic tables at the beach. We've not camped here, but camping is also available. The facilities for day use are great. The beach offers plenty of shade and grassy areas to enjoy and be close to the water.

The park is awesome, nicely tucked away and close to town if you need anything which is handy. We are staying in the 400's which is great, the only complaint I have is the site right across from us is sadly being used as a parking lot for the next site beside, which has welllll more then the 6 people the website states can be there. It was super busy sounding and very loud from that site. Well Rangers to the rescue! They took care/removed the noisy family and another group and the sounds of nature came back. The water area is great for picnicking and water floats. Lots of trails to walk through also. Turned into a great stay.

We enjoyed our stay Victoria weekend. Beautiful clean campsites. There are seasonal lots as well. We had an RV and found the lots to be very sloped. Hydro & water plugs are on opposite side of lots in front, rather than the back. I think those bulky cords across lots was a trip hazard and not very appealing. The lots were good size, and firpits were even in odd areas of lot. Be careful...while trying to find even ground for your trailer you, you also have to keep trailer away from pits. Firewood sold at front gate 10.00 a bag. Trails, and camp ground not far from downtown Waterloo. Bring your bikes, furbabies and ball gloves, kayaks.

After a five km hike, the best place in the world is under a picnic table. -Chug Norris, August 2024
