  Nice campground not far from the Grotto, Visitor's Center and the tub harbours. If you swim in Georgian Bay, come back to camp and swim in the warm waters of Cyprus Lake. Beautiful waterfront and landscape around this campground.

  The campground is very clean and enjoyable overall. Our site was big enough for 2 tents, and close to water tap and vault toilet. Each site has a fire pit and 2 picnic tables, which I liked. The trees are tall and dense around the camp site, so there's plenty of shades, but it was difficult to find an area to hang the tarp. There is no grass on the ground, which makes sleeping a bit uncomfortable, so I'd recommend bringing an extra sleeping bag to use as mattress. Besides a few chipmunks and squirrels, there weren't many other animals, which to me is a plus because while I like them I don't want to deal with them. The staff told everyone here to keep everything - food, containers, etc. - in the car as they might attract bears.

  Easy access to trails and washroom was awesome for just a compost toilet and sink. Staff patrolled area to make sure people were keeping a bare campsite. Our neighbours didn't listen and unfortunately had a bear visit their campsite. They were very disrespectful of the rules and were loud at 230 am. When staff were contacted to be told of bear and kids I was hung up on. HOWEVER this did not ruin our experience. Our campsite was bare so the bear went right around us. The campsites are widely spaced so you have enough privacy to get away from the distractors. The back of Our campsite was heavily wooded which was very nice. Our campsite was large and allowed 3 structures and a vehicle. We stayed at campsite 250. Close to Cyprus lake for swimming and canoe rentals and Cyprus lake trail connects to all the other trails that lead to the main attractions of the park. I will go back :) firewood and ice are provided at cost at check-in.

  This is a great campground. Lots of shade tons of trees. Decent amount of privacy. If you really want to see thr grotto I heavily suggest getting a campsite here instead of praying for a parking spot.

  We looked at the map of the layout of the other campgrounds and this one looked much better because we weren't directly beside or across anybody. Everyone had more than enough space. The poplar and birches campgrounds look really congested, this one is way more spaced out. The people are the front desk were exceptionally kind and let us check in early. We had camp ground 255 and it was super spacious and enclosed with trees, had a water tap right across and not to far from the washrooms. It was absolutely perfect. We loved every part about it! :)
