Myself and some close friends booked the large Group Site (west side of the part) for 11 days and 10 nights and we had the most amazing time. + The covered pavilion was a game-changer for rainy days. + Lake was crystal clear, clean and refreshing. + Great beach/lake for swimming & kayaking. + Beautiful stargazing with view of the Milky Way. + Staff were friendly and helpful. + Group Site had potable water and private bathrooms. + Comfort Station had showers and proper washrooms. + Close to Downling and Chelmsford for groceries, supplies, Tim Hortons, etc. - A large number of the showers and washrooms were closed with caution tape. We were told it had to do with staffing issues. Wasn't enough to hamper the trip, but it it worth noting. There were loud trains that came through near the park - as mentioned in some of the other reviews - but it truly didn't affect anyone from our party. We slept through everything perfectly fine and by the 3rd or 4th day, we hardly noticed the train. Would highly recommend this site for camping and would absolutely return.

I go to the park once in awhile. I find it a beautiful place to walk around or just sit and take the scenery. During the summer months there is always something happening in the park. Great place to stroll through.
