Sandy beaches for swimming, forest trails, and a wildlife viewing area are available for campers. Amenities include toilets, showers, and adventure-type playground, a visitor’s center and nature house with aquariums, educational shows in the open-air amphitheater, and brochures outlining nature trails.

Bon Echo Family Campground
A mere three hours drive from Toronto, Bon Echo is known for the provincial park, but five minutes south of the park there is a family-oriented campground which may be worth a peek!

The family can partake in fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming. Nearby there are golf courses, tennis courts, hiking trails, underground caves, horseback riding, even an enchanted forest!
