Presqu'ile Provincial Park was beautiful. The tent sites are all fairly private, and the bathrooms,…read moreshowers, and water sources aren't too far away. We were disappointed that the Nature center was "closed for the season." We were also disappointed that beach swimming was closed due to high bacteria levels. We enjoyed getting ice cream cones in the camp store which was run by really helpful park staff. Our kids loved the trail that parallels the water, and it was neat to see a lighthouse up close. I will say that the mosquitoes were terrible, so don't go without an ample supply of bug spray. Also, the raccoons in this park are BOLD and cheeky. Keep your food and trash out of reach of the critters. Overall, though, it was a beautiful park.

We went camping at Sandbanks Provincial Park in early June. The park itself is well laid out, with…read morecomfort stations easily accessible from our campsite. The comfort stations were clean and well maintained. Our site was ok; it was perched on a hill, with stairs needed to access the site. This made going to the car for supplies a bit inconvenient. Unfortunately, we were unable to use the main beach due to thousands of minnows washed up on shore. Apparently, this is a natural phenomenon occurring from a temperature change in the water. However, we swam at Dunes Beach, which was a lovely experience. The sand was fine like powder, and the water was clean.

We discovered an artwork setup by the park team right by the water and we all enjoyed making paintings. Can get super busy in the summer time, I believe the park will close once it reaches a certain capacity. See you soon, Sandbanks!

I will always compare the Sandbanks to Grand Bend located in Huron County in South Western Ontario…read more Grand Bend is a trendy little beach hot spot where Sandbanks is at a Provincial Park. Overall I am happy a beach is within 40 minutes of Belleville. The Park and beach area expand to the Sandbanks beach, and extend over to a Dune Beach. The negative is a Park pass is under $200 and parking is a challenge all summer. The beaches and amenities are beautiful and should be a go to for locals and tourists.

Doing the Great American Loop you go through lots of marinas and very few are as nice as this one…read more You can tell that they really take pride in this Marina and that they truly care for the boaters as they provide everything to make the stay comfortable and memorable. The lists of pros is too long to write, but let's mention a few. Let's start with the price: so inexpensive for the class of marina and for all that they provide. Fuel and pump out services. Brand new floating docks with lots of cleats and plenty of posts for electric (they have 30 and 50 Amps) and water. Very friendly and efficient service: at the office, at the fuel dock, the dock hands, etc. The best WiFi of any marina. Great security, with gates to the docks that open with an electronic card. Clean everywhere: the grounds, the facilities, the docks, etc. Beautiful manicured grounds with an herb garden for boaters to help themselves. Propane grills for the boaters to use with several picnic tables on the grounds. Gorgeous building with all you need to fill at home: lobby with TV, small restaurant with the best ice cream Kawartha, small bar. Large laundry room with new machines and it is complimentary (no marina gives you complimentary laundry) plus they supply you with soap and dryer sheets. The best showers of any marina: 10 individual rooms, each with toilet, sink, vanity and a large and wide shower. Very clean!!!!! The Marina has a good location as there is a 2 block walk into town, where you can find everything you need: grocery stores, liquor store, pharmacy, restaurants, Dollar store, etc. Also right in front of the marina there is the city hall and the library.

Call ahead or just use your VHS radio to call the marina and they will send out a couple of dock hands to help you into your slip. I really can't say enough about this place.

Other than a viewing platform, parking area, and an illustrated sign explaining the physical structure of the eponymous lake, there are no facilities in the park aside from washrooms.

We decided to drive up to PEC, have lunch & play in by ear. After we finished lunch, we looked at the forecast & it said no rain for the rest of the day, so we booked it online again and then headed over. We checked in 10 minutes prior to our reservation & the three young guys there found our reservation quickly then got us on our way. They were super helpful and friendly. We had a great time on the water! Started out grey, cool & and windy, but the weather god heard our prayers, and it turned out to be a beautiful day with sunshine :) I would definitely recommend Westlake Watersports for a pontoon rental.

They give a safety briefing and instructions upon checking in. I'd probably give more stars if I hadn't rented a pontoon elsewhere a few weeks prior to this one because the 2 stars are based on the cleanliness of the boat. The other rental cleaned their boats thoroughly to the point that there weren't any spiders nor spider webs. This boat was covered in them unfortunately.
