Sandbanks Provincial Park
R.R.#1
Picton Ontario
Canada K0K 2T0
613-393-3319

Campground Descripton:  Giant sand dunes and golden beaches form two of the largest freshwater baymouth sandbars in the world here, on the shores of Lake Ontario. Efforts to stabilize shifting sands disturbed by farming have revived distinctive dune plants such as bluets, butterfly weed and sand spurge. Trails feature dune stairs to protect this delicate vegetation.

Campsite 161  - Canada Day 2010
Rating:









Camp Date: 7/1/2010

Another great site at Sandbanks. Lots of room. A few roots to trip over if you aren't careful. Could not likely put a trailer on the site. Enough room for a large tent and dining shelter. Pretty close to the beach and to the comfort stations.

Camp Date: 6/30/2010

nice weekend camping. Not too noisy, good for biking, fishing, and beachtime. Fairly close to everything. Two entrance/exits, one one either side. Quite a bit of poison ivy, so you have to be careful when travelling site to site if you are with a group. Would def. use this site again.

Campsite 163  - Canada Day 2010

Camp Date: 6/30/2010

Great site! 163 is a very large and private site with good flat areas for any type of camping equipment. We fit our tent trailer and a large shade shelter with plenty of extra room for playing! It has good areas of both sunshine and shade. It is also a short walk to the beach. Drawbacks: Poison Ivy!! There was poison ivy all along the perimeter of the site. Not a problem is you stay away but it may be hard to keep smaller children out of it. Also the closest washroom is a bit of a walk.

Camp Date: 6/30/2010

Great site which offered sun, shade, privacy - surrounded by trees and it is up on a hill so was above the site beside this one and has flat ground for a large tent. Best of all it is a very short walk to the beach and the comfort station as well. The water tap is right behind this site. Watch out for the poison ivy which is all around this campground

Camp Date: 5/21/2010

This is a great campsite if you are going when it might be a bit cooler. There is plenty of morning/early afternoon sunshine. Not bad for privacy - but you can certainly set up your campsite to maximize it. There is no one behind you at all so lots of space!

Camp Date: 7/1/2009

Great site if you're afraid of the dark and have a bad blatter. This site was right on top of the comfort station that had a bright orange light that was in our eyes all night long. Tall trees made for some good shade if you had a month of solid sun. We had a few days of rain that made this wooded area very damp and with the sun we had didn't dry it up. No privacy and not a walking distance to any of the beaches.

Campsite 621  - Camping under the big top

Camp Date: 6/26/2009

For a change we camped at the Woodlands camp ground this year. It has eletricity, paved roads and lots of big trees. The site was big, but not a lot of privacy, you could look through the trees and see what your neighbours where doing. It was okay for us because we had friends on both sides. This particular site was very shady, it would be ideal if the weather was hot, then it would provide escape from the hot sun. The trees continue to drop rain, long after the rain has stopped! It is a short bike ride to both the Dunes and the Outlet beach.

Camp Date: 6/7/2009

This year our group decided to try camping in the Woodland campground to get electricity…what a great choice. Our site was excellent, even during the heavy rain. It was slightly elevated, so the rain ran off the site. Great trees in the campground. The water tap was in front of the site…some might consider it a negative, but it was handy. I look forward to booking the site again. Only negative was the distance to the beach.

Camp Date: 7/6/2008

We loved this site. both sun and shade. Close to the potty and the "REAL" bathrooms. good closed loop for families camping together with kids. They can ride their bikes around and around... Not too far from the beach but far enough that you don't have to worry about little ones wandering off into the water.

Camp Date: 7/1/2008

This is a great site if you are looking for a little isolation. You can't see the site from the road. There are lots of trees. Our tent was on an elevated part of the site. Good thing because we had lots of rain. Just remember, you have to carry all of your gear up some stairs to the site.

We love this site and are planning to return this year. It abuts a natural valley where the kids run, play and swig from ropes in the trees...be aware of poison ivy, lots of it found in the areas off the paths. A short walk to the beach, showers, water stations and outhouse.

Camp Date: 7/1/2007

We love this site. It is large, surrounded by trees, is near a water tap and the outhouse is not too far away. We camp with a large group of friends during Canada Day Weekend, we all book sites around this particular loop. The kids ride their bikes from site to site and we never worry about traffic as it is one way and goes slow. The beach is amazing.

Fall camping at sandbanks is great. Our site was on a one way road, so there was akmost no traffic. Great for the kids. Sandbanks was quiet, which was a nice change from Canada Day Weekend, which is the other time I have camped there. No issues with our site. I would recommend it to anyone.

Site is ok. It is elevated at one end, and has some shade. The problem with the site is that it is on one of the main roads to the beach, and it is right across the road from an outhouse.
