Killbear - but we didn't see any bears!
Rating:
Camp Date:
8/2/2010
Loved my stay at Killbear! It was perfect for a family getaway. Quiet for those who have little ones with a lot of things to do! My favourite was the wilderness walk to the lighthouse. What a view!
The campsites were large however they could use a couple more trees to be able to tie up some extra tarps. The washrooms were clean however you might want to make sure you aren't right next to them because they tend to smell even from a distance.
We heard there were deer and bears! Lucky for us we missed the bears. I would make sure to pack your bikes and enjoy yourself at Killbear.
We would for sure go back to this camp site!

Large Site - Lighthouse Point
Rating:
Camp Date:
8/2/2010
Very large site, easily fit a trailer and multiple tents. Ground cover is fine sand. Toilets with running water are one site away, water tap is two sites away. Not great privacy, but hardly any of the sites here are private. Two large picnic tables, small rock lined fire pit at back left of site. Plenty of trees for stringing up tarps. No sign of bears or snakes... ;) The campground in general is very clean - the staff do an amazing job when there are so many campers in and out. Beaches are all wonderful and sandy. Lighthouse trail is a short walk to the end of the peninsula and back. Only complaint about site #1492 is a very mild urine smell occasionally which I assumed is due to the proximity to the toilets, but turns out it was a male deer who would wander all over our site, marking it's territory while we were at the beach!

Open site - large enough for a trailer. Nice tree cover. Privacy from adjacent sites, but no privacy from the road.
This site has water access. Shoreline is rocky and weedy.
Close to the outhouses and water tap. Comfort stations are a bit of a walk.

Kilcoursie Campground Kills It!
Rating:
Camp Date:
7/23/2010
We stayed on site 30 in the Kilcoursie Campground. Our site had lots of sun with a few shaded areas...the best of both worlds. It was close to amnities but not too close as to get a ton of traffic. The beach was a stones throw away, just across the street. Killbear is one of my favorites so try it out for yourself!!

Close to Beach

This site was very good. Large with plenty of options for placing a large tent and dining tent. 2 large picnic tables. Campfire was not too close to the road. Fairly private. Directly across from the beach. Campsite 32 was a little close...if camping with friends have them book 32 to be close to you. 33 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than 32!

Bear central
Rating:
Camp Date:
9/7/2009
Killbear park was beautiful and our site in the Lighthouse campground (no radio camp ground) was perfect with washrooms right next door and the fresh water tap on site. Beach wasn't really close enough to drive with 2 kids under the age of 4 plus gear but parking was ample and beach was amazing. We were booked for 4 nights but left after 2 because of the bears. 1497 is used as a road for the bears or was for that weekend. Scared me silly even though we clearly weren't not of interest to them. One bear was scared off another camp site close by when the people started making a ton of noise but in running past our tent tripped over our guide line and shook the entire tent. Heard from other campers that weekend that bears were coming into their sites during the day (Blind Bay campground) and told my the staff at the visitor's center to lock all food day and night in the car but to be sure to cover the cooler because the bears knew what coolers looked like and were breaking windows to get them. GREAT! Wish I'd known that before we went. I was very nice but not again for us!

Bear Hunters
Rating:
Camp Date:
8/1/2009
We spent Civic bank holiday here in Canada up in Killbear park about 2 hours north of Toronto. Bears. Black Bears. We wanted to up our 'Canadianisms' and ended up Canadian canoeing and bear hunting - see attached photos. It was early morning and as the sun began to burn away the mist a feeling of anticipation gripped the campsite. What was supposed to be an ordinary day was to turn into something quite extraordinary before long...
...Driving to the canoe hire place, we were suddenly blocked off by a rangers vehicle that screeched to a halt in front of us - the ranger emerged armed with a paintball shotgun and rolled off the track into the undergrowth. A black bear appeared in the woodland and began to scurry away. As the ranger pursued, I left the car for purposes of photography and scott had his door open craning his neck for a better look. We were soon to be reprimanded by the ranger back-up who thought our lives were in danger, but for the time being I was in David Attenborough mode. I conspired with the camera to miss the bear in all six photos I took as the ranger was peppering the bear's behind with paintball bullets. First bear sighted. We had become bear hunters.
Next up was the canoe expedition to Scott Island - a remote deserted island off the coast of Georgian bay - it was one mile away and it took over 90 mins to get too. Two Canadian blokes had warned us that they had capsized in 'seriously choopy waters dude' - they ended up turning back les than half way. Needless to say we powered through crashing through the waves head on and soaking Lindsay at the front while I stayed bone dry at the rear of the vessel! About 1 km from the shore we heard the screams of a wakeboarder who had lost his board and was hanging on to his sails. He was cold and tired and was extremely disorientated. We sighted his board and canoed across the fierce waves to retrieve it before returning it to him. He was grateful but we explained it was all in a days work for the bear hunters.
Kick bear ass - tick.
Save someone's life - tick. Impact.

Lots to do, No Privacy
Rating:
Camp Date:
7/15/2006
I stayed here for one night by myself and found that there was a lot of things to do. Great trails, interesting points of interest. The lighthouse trail was nice. Great sandy beach nearby. Very little privacy at this site, I felt like I was on display as my neighbors across the road were about 10 feet higher than me, and they sat up there and watched me like I was the television.

100 Year Storm
Rating:
Camp Date:
8/19/2005
We had this site for the weekend of the 100 Year Storm and we survived. Luckily the site had some high spots so we could move our tents around. The kids played in the rain and mud for most of the weekend, and had a blast. The beach and shoreline are beautiful.
