The electrical service offers 4 - 15 amp plugs, and either 2 - 30 amp plugs or 1 - 30 amp and 1 - 50 amp plugs. We found that on many of the sites, the electrical post was quite a distance away from the actual sites. Some of us had to use 2 or more extension cords. However, the office is well aware of this problem and have both adapters and extra extension cords that campers may borrow.
Here is a summary of the best sites in the pull-through section -
30, 49, 35, 41(needs a little leveling), 43, 52 (this was our firepit for the group because it was the only only where we could sit all the way around), 53(needs leveling), 54(needs leveling), 56.
Here is a summary of the best back-in sites -
40, 42, 45(just ok), 58, 60, 61, 63, 64, 65 66, 67, 69, 70, (60-70 back on the shoreline trail so they are very private with good access to the trail and the lake beyond), 72, 75, 76.
If you want sunny sites, then try 31, 33, 39, 51, 53, 54. Avoid site 37(uneven and on the small side).
The variety of bird life is unbelievable! Many different song birds were both sighted and heard.
We saw some beautiful wildflowers in the park. Here are some pictures that I photographed while there.
We had a super potluck on Saturday evening on site 39 (Curtis's), followed by a lively campfire at Rosemary and Cookie's site (52).
The major drawback to the park is the poison ivy which is quite prevalent along the trails and even the campsites. In fact the sign post for site 41 (ours!) had a 5 foot healthy growth of poison ivy surrounding it. And the foolish ranger wondered why we didn't have our ticket on the post! We invited him to put it on but when he noted the ivy, he declined and told us "Just stick it on the back of your camper."
Other than that, it is a very nice park with good water, nice scenery, great sunsets and excellent sites. About 2 hours or so from Guelph.

Upon further investigation, the bird is a female American redstart. In 2008, we saw the same species at Sibbald Point Provincial Park.
