Great park. Very nice beach with dog beach too. Our camp site was nice and private and had lots of shade. However, entire site was sand which was a bit of a mess but nice for being bare feet. Park could use some better signage for way finding. Overall was a great stay.

Great park... nice beach... eco-sites are really fantastic. Feels like truly isolated, but you're not really. Amazing starlit sky for a midnight beach walk

This is an ok place to camp if you don’t want to drive too far for a weekend getaway. But due to my last experience a little over a year ago I will not be returning to camp. For day use, maybe. We were greeted by a very unpleasant park ranger after coming back from the store to buy bags of wood when our car radio was playing quietly as we hadn’t shut the car off yet considering we literally just pulled into the site. She shined her flash light in our faces and lectured us about the “radio free” rule. She was very rude about it and told us if we couldn’t abide by the rules we would have to leave. I tried to explain to her we had just came back from the store and she cut me off and then walked away. Not to mention the staff here walk around with bullet proof vests on if that gives any hint as to how strict they are. Never seen that at any other provincial park.

We were camping at the 3 group sites. Staff were amazing & accommodated our needs. As we were camping with 80+ youth & sever thunderstorm warnings were in affect. The staff helped with a safe haven evacuation plan to ensure our safety. Couldn't ask for a better location or staff. Thanks for a great weekend.

Great beach but I do not recommend camping here. Park rangers were absolutely terrible on my last 2 stays here a few years back. Basically our family was constantly harassed. Literally we are sitting around a campfire talking and rangers are emerging from the bushes and screaming at us to go to bed! We were not making any noise, although campsites close to us certainly were. It is possible that our ethnicity may have played a factor in our treatment. One day while camping we were having a picnic on the beach. We had a shelter rented and we had done our family picnic here for at least 20 years previous. My parents, who were visiting for the day were stopping by our campsite on the way to the beach. A very routine thing for us. The park rangers followed them from the gate right to our site. As soon as their vehicle stopped he is yelling at all of us that the car has to be moved now. We never fussed or argued, just did as we were told. These incidents happened a few years back and hopefully things will improve. I will never pitch a tent here again though. I camped here most of my life and this behaviour was totally unacceptable.
