Since the nearest parking to the Grotto was unavailable and completely booked for the upcoming 3…read moreweeks, we figured it would be fun to do the 2 hour hike to the Grotto from here. Upon arrival, we were told the parking was full and that it was better to come back 2-3 hours later. We turned around, drove for about 10 minutes and then came back to give our phone number to the employee so he could call us if any spots opened up. He immediately told us that it was OK for us to enter, since we were from Quebec and we drove about 9 hours to get to this place. Thank you to Jeff, the employee at the front desk for answering all of our questions, being very friendly and extremely helpful by letting us in!!!! The hike was totally worth it, the views are breathtaking, although you cannot enter the Grotto due to COVID. It was very relaxing, the water is at a lovely temperature as well, it is possible to swim on a sunnier day (just be careful because the rocks are slippery). There are bathrooms at the beginning of the trail. Bring your food with you, as well as water bottles since it's impossible to fill them up onsite.

First, a 40 min wait in line to get the permit only to be told the I have to leave the campground to fill the water tank at the dumping station. No sign to indicate this outside the campground. Then a "ban" on alcohol and cannabis outside specific hours. (Not to mention a total "ban" on holiday weekends. They can't provide appropriate security so responsible adults suffer. The showers are ridiculous. You get to press the button twice for a weak stream of tepid water. And there is only one shower facility for the entire place. The site assigned is extremely small even though they claim it is suitable for my size trailer. Be very cautious with their website information! The setting is glorious. Well worth a day trip but you would be better at a provincial or private campground. This one is awful.

It also depends on what you think a national park should be. As far as my opinion, it should be viewing beautiful sights and seeing animals. Serenity. This is not that. At all. If you think a national park should be a splash down water park, you're gonna love it. But you've got people walking the trails yelling at each other. You have people playing music loudly on the trails, as if they need their own personal theme song guiding them on their way. I even saw a Québécois stranger holding a dog in one hand, little child in another, walking in sandals at the Grotto on slick rock formations, jumping from one to the next. It was a disaster waiting to happen. It truly was an unpleasant experience. Look, the park tries to manage it. You have to reserve spots at both the Grotto and Halfway Log Dump. You have to pay a substantial fee to reserve as well. There are checkpoints going in like you're at Panmunjom on the Korean border. But it doesn't matter. There are still too many people. I think it is just too close to Toronto. My recommendation to anyone wanting a more peaceful national park experience would be to go to northern Ontario and visit Pukaskwa. Or even Lake Superior Provincial Park. They are both what I would want out of a park. I hate saying this, but I'd avoid the peninsula altogether.

Clean bathrooms, very nice grounds, great staff, virtually no other campers which was my favorite. I didn't use the pay showers or swim in the pool but they looked good.

Close to town so I could bicycle there ~2.5-3.0 miles and not have to pay for parking in town. I would stay here again in the off season.

The front site which was great because the park has no entry after 11pm thru the front gate so we could have come and go as we pleased, as we didn't have a gate. The front spots didn't have a bathroom close, so it was a little walk which was fine, we had the sky full of stars to look at on our way. This is a family style campground and it's so great that there is no late night partying and loud noise after 11. Wish the 2 washrooms in the campground had more than 1 shower facility but the wait was never too long. We had a great time, we heard wolves howling, fed chipmunks, went fishing, swam in the lake and relaxed.

My friends and I have been going up to Tobermory for camping and adventures for over a decade. We…read moreoccasionally try new campgrounds. The Tobermory village campground has a great website and when I called the person sounded absolutely great. I thought I had found a fantastic place for myself and my 5 friends (we were 3 couples). We were a little surprised when we arrived and were advised there is absolutely no music allowed at any time. We weren't looking to crank out anything too loud, but we had specifically requested an isolated location, and we like to have a little classic rock or something playing while we sit around the campfire or prep our meals. We were also a little surprised at the massive display of the ten commandments on the rec room outer wall. I have no personal issue with any of this, but had anyone implied or advised us of this sooner, we would of chosen to go to another campground. These sites were definitely on the more expensive side (57 per site, per night, and only one couple per site). Good thing it did come with wood for fires. A closer review of the website afterwards did reveal a no music clause.. but not very upfront. We ended up leaving the second day, and they did provide us with a refund. While this place was very clean - the best bathrooms I have ever seen, I did find it a little strange that the showers operated on a coin system - you pay for the number of minutes you want to shower. You also must pay for ping pong balls in the rec room. While this type of setup may fit some.... it was not for us, nor did we find the staff very friendly. We did feel a little unwelcome. We went to a different campground the next day... and paid 20 per couple, and got free firewood! 66% savings! This place is good for families, people who don't listen to any music (mind you, you can hear people talking and kids crying all the time, so it's not like it is quiet), but a little bit on the expensive side. I leave it up to you.

So we set an alarm on our last night to wake up at 2am and saw the sky was filled with stars - absolutely beautiful! Dark sky preserve has several spots you can pitch your tent. Each spot comes with a cooking table (where you can place your portable stove or grill) and a picnic bench. No campfire allowed at all times. No white lights allowed after dark. There's summer kitchen equipped with BBQ grill, stove and cooking utensils; flush toilet; sink; Eco shower (where you have to hold down the line for the water) at the main office site (5 mins drive from dark sky preserve) Reason for 3 stars - the bug situation was unbearable by our tent. The worst part is not being allowed to have campfires there, which will help with getting rid of them..
