I visited the Rockwood Conservation with the Toyota funded GRCA annual pass made available and free…read moreat the library. This conservation is roughly $7 at admission, but free for a vehicle full if you have the annual pass. The hiking trail features trees and trekked paths near the water over the glacial deposits. You can even walk by the water. The access for boat is very easy to get to, there is a parking lot nearby. The boating looks fun as there are mini lagoon like areas and even caves to explore, reminds me of a lagoon theme park. By the way for the non hikers there is a putting green at the entrance, price is for adult and child but there are leaves and debris and it's full sun. Definitely worth checking out. The GRCA charges for admission because it is not funded by tax payers.

There is a place to pay for your admission. I was visiting with an annual pass courtesy of the local library. The trails have marking, it can be muddy on wet days.

The park…read morestaff is friendly when they're here, so if you're one to require much of a personal touch you might be out of luck. The park books quite fast with summer workers and regulars. Proximity to Toronto can't be beaten. This is the closest park to the city with access to major highways within minutes. 50 amp service is reliable. Drive-through spots are quite long but drives are shared between 2 campsites. My impression is that it's a touch overpriced but that premium is for the location. Hiking trails and the conservation area are a treat for the DW and the dogs. I'll be back for sure as it's close to friends and family.

When we arrived we needed to empty our tanks they said we could not bring stuff from outside their park into their park and dump. So i guess my black water tank from the morning before i arrived was different than from the day after we would have stayed there??!! When we drove out there were no signs that their dumping station was out of order. What a pile of BS. Literally!! They would not refund even part of the money they put on our card. Crooks!! Absolutely do not care about customers! I would NEVER recommend this campground ever! You would think they'd be a little smarter in the age of social media!

I visited this park for the Polar Rush obstacle race back in February. I recommend proper snow…read moreboots or hiking boots for those coming during the snowy season. Otherwise, you'll lose traction down the paved path. I forgot my hiking boots at my parents and only had my Vessi's... It was fun either way. I sat on my snow pants and slid down the steeper paths. During the winter, it's also popular for cross-country skiing and in the warmer months for mountain biking. I recommend checking out Polar Rush next season for snow obstacle racing. We slid down a tube, crawled over a plank and tangled strings, climbed over obstacles etc. Sometimes they offer discount tickets too!

Entrance is off Hwy 50, other smaller entrance was closed during my visit…read more I got free passes, so I decided to use them sooner rather than later/never. It's about an hour's drive outside of S Mississauga. Site itself is MASSIVE and there's even camping, that's how big it is! Prior to my visit, I did take a look at what kinds of things can be done here in the Summer. There's also an outdoor pool with a splash pad, I believe that entry was under $5pp. There are tons of picnic areas, but the amenities weren't great aside from picnic tables and metal barrels to put your bbq ashes. Not all picnic areas had a lot attached to it. I went with the intention of hiking, but to be honest, be prepared to get lost! Maps provided/posted were quite poor. There would be a bunch of symbols, but no reference as to what they were. I just ended up using Google maps to make my way back to the car. As far as the hiking goes, it's not really meant for beginners - where the Red trail is concerned. There's narrow parts to the trail and lots ups/downs. To top that all off, the Park is very popular for Mountain Bikers, so you always hafta keep alert as to when they're coming. I'd say that it's better for MTBers, again this is only for the Red trail - the other ones may be better. So not super relaxing if you just want a leisurely hike!

The walk amongst the rocks is calling as well and when you reach up you see all the crevices that you can jump. Be careful there as we saw some hats, sun glasses etc at the bottom that once fallen there is no way getting them back.

The Guelph Lake is pretty big, if you enjoy boating you will have fun. This location features a number of campsites, some literally with a wake up view of the lake and a breeze. The trail has mostly bush, so wear covered clothing in case of ticks, and a beach. I was somewhat disappointed because the trails were rather "like walking a park" but I'm sure the boating and beaching would be fun when the weather warms up. Admission is roughly $7, with the grca annual pass it's free. The GRCA is not funded by tax payers so they charge for admission.

Came here to camp from August 19-22nd. Family has been camping every year for the past three years…read moreat different provincial parks like Algonquin and Marten River. Wanted to go somewhere a little closer to home this year, so we chose Albion Hills. We are a group of 20-somethings, if that is helpful for perspective. We stayed at site 27, 28, and 29. Cost: About the same as provincial park rates per night. Two adults to one site, and each extra adult is $5/night. They charge you when you get there. So what's actually included in the base cost is two adults and four children (17 and under). Some of my family came to visit during the day, and they had to pay $5/person to come in. I don't think that was worth it, considering the amenities of the park. Amenities: Recreational activities: - The actual recreation centre was just a basketball net that was crooked/old. - We read flyers that there were canoe lessons, and we saw some idle paddle boats near the beach, but the hours of operation are so limited that we couldn't do anything by the time we had set up camp and walked around to explore (this was about 6-7 pm). - There were a few playgrounds for kids, in the Albion Hills campground and at the beach. -Swimming: We didn't use the pool/splash park, mostly because it was an extra cost. We walked past by it, as well, and it seems more suitable for children. The pool was very small and very shallow. Hours were very short too (10-5pm). For summer hours, that is pretty ridiculous. The "beach" nearby left much to be desired, and area was just full of geese than actual people. There is a caution to swim at your own risk. We didn't. Showers/washrooms: Compared to what we have been through at the provincial parks, the showers at Albion Hills weren't as good. You'd have to press-and-hold for the water to come out, and it would only last for 3-4 seconds. We found ourselves having to shower with one hand while the other held the button to ensure we wouldn't run out. Flush washrooms available near the chalet, and outhouses available throughout the campground. Outhouses were naturally nasty. Campsites: Not a lot of grassy areas, but I guess it depends on which site you pick. Our campsites unfortunately were full of dirt, and when you book online, it unfortunately does not have descriptions for each site. Noise: Lots of trailers set up in our area. When we got there on Monday, we were the only campers in the area. A few others started coming in around Wednesday. There is also a train that passes by during the night time that is very audible. Nature: - Because of the proximity of the campground to the city, there were tons of light pollution, and the night sky was never as beautiful as it was when we were in the provincial parks. The weather was great in the days that we went camping (clear nights), so it was unfortunate that we couldn't get a better night sky view. - Bike/hiking trails seemed challenging as we walked through it. But very small/short compared to something you'd find in Algonquin. - Tons of mosquitoes, and I mean tons! Campground is near lots of water, so this is expected. Bring and use lots of bug spray. - Animals we saw during our stay: racoons, chipmunks, gophers, racoons, frogs, racoons, one snake, and racoons. Racoons were not scared of humans, often roamed as close as they could, and threw lots of apples at us. :P Verdict: If you want a place to just camp out, sit around the fire, drink alcohol and just be lazy, this is a good place to go. If you actually want to use the park for its amenities, go somewhere else. Not much else to do at Albion Hills.

We have camped at Albion Hills a few times in the past few years as a family and honestly, it's not…read morefancy but we make do. The biggest problem is the inconsiderate and inexperienced campers. Our recent stay was the last week of August and when we arrived, we discovered that the previous campers had scattered mothballs all around the perimeter of the campsite to keep mosquitoes at bay. Mothballs are deadly poisonous, even the fumes can make a human sick. Needless to say, the four of us spent the next hour foraging in the bush and collecting what we could find so that our dog didn't find one first. During the week, we had mostly peaceful nights. The train can be unnerving. My first visit, it kept me up all night. I think I am just used to it now. : ) When the Friday of the Labour Day Weekend arrived, things deteriorated quickly. Every campsite surrounding us was taken and for two nights, we lay awake listening to loud music and screaming and profanities from the other campers until three a.m. We only saw a private security car do a quick drive-by on the Friday night. Also, we have a well-behaved dog. She is friendly but nervous around other dogs. She was kept on a leash or tethered all weekend. Unfortunately, the other dog owners seem to think that the campsite is an off-leash park and I had to shoo their dogs away from our site. Some were even oblivious to the fact that their dog was missing until I pointed it out. The park itself, except for the swimming pool area, is dog friendly. These irresponsible dog owners ruin it for others as likely, the park will adapt no-dog regulations as a result. We packed up on the Sunday and left. Truthfully, we enjoy camping at Albion Hills. It's really the lack of consideration and common sense of other campers that put a damper on our experience.
