This park has many beautiful trails. The boardwalk trail is scenic and there are also trails through the woods and one at the lighthouse. There is a visitor centre at the lighthouse which is very interesting if you like history. The campgrounds have some nice views. Most are close to the lake. In response to a previous comment about the beach being poorly maintained by the park, Lake Ontario is widely known to be inappropriate for swimming, and simply can't be "cleaned". To expect the park to take responsibility for this is absurd. This park is great for bird watching, camping, and hiking. And it is very close to town if you need supplies.
This park offers everything. Great walking and biking routes. Bird watching, camping, swimming, summer programs for children and adults and the most beautiful scenery in the area. Also one of the best craft shows for Chirstmas at Presqu'il.
This is a fabulous park. Lots of wild life. Deer, waterfowl. Close to Brighton for stores and restaurants. Good camping and fiahing
This is one of the nicest Provincial Parks in Ontario with campgrounds, beaches, picnic facilities, an historic Lighthouse with a wonderful Gift Shop/Learning Centre. I am fortunate to have a cottage on Presquiile , which dates back to 1920. There are many year-round homes on Presqui'ile as well and the Friends of Presqui'ile association do a wonderful job of ensuring that the residents maintain the conservational attitude towards the land and water and their inhabitants at all times. During camping season, there a lots of family activities, and special events. Right now come and visit the historic Christmas at Presqui'ile. Check it out on Brighton.com. You won't regret the visit - it feeds your soul.
This is one of the most beautiful campsites we have been to. The place is quite full with campers and they offer a lot of activities. There are a lot of trails (boardwalk trail is beautiful during sunset). There was a ton of mosquitoes on one of the trails to see the where the birds are, so watch out for that. We were literally covered in mosquitoes and ran threw the whole trail. The beach is nice, but there were warning signs of high bacteria levels on our campsite, so we had to be careful with the water and boil it for a longer period of time. I did notice a foul smell from the beach area. I would suggest going into the water from the campsite near the rocky area. The campsites are really nice with decent privacy. If you get a campsite near the shower area it would be better, otherwise you will have to drive to the showers. I loved how they did a bbq for all campers the weekend we went and other activities.
My sweetie and I went camping here in the last week of Sept. We arrived Sat, and had to make a short detour through Brighton, as a festival had closed some streets. The park was easy to find, and check-in was courtious and efficient. Our site was well screened from the others, and steps from the shore, with ample room, and facilities not too far away. After labour day, some of the facilities are shut down, such as showers, but there are others not too far away. The park has several beautiful walking trails, and there is never a lack of anything to do, or not do, if that's your preference. We stayed the Sunday night, and it was remarkable how many people cleared out, we almost had the park to ourselves. A lovely experience.
We camped with our travel trailer. The park was well patrolled and virtually no noise during the daytime and also none at night.
A lovely area of dunes, woodland and wetland sticking out into Lake Ontario. A wonderful spot to watch birds and other wildlife. Also a great location to walk cycle or just relax.
beautiful campground with fantastic views. Sites are large. The downside to this camping experience: no water on site. Very windy if on the bluff (not tent or tent trailer friendly on those sites).
