  My family and I stayed there the first time the civic long weekend.... Rock point was highly recommended by many family and friends.We were very disappointed, first off, entering the park to find out site , it too us 25 min to find it.. there is limited signs. Our site was very nice considering it was a non reservable... The kid park was old and very dangerous for younger kids so we only played there once.The water stations were a hike from where we stayed but ohh well that's minor.everyone raved about the fossil part of the beach, which my young kids were excited to see.so we took a hike out to see it... we didn't even get close to where you could see the water and the smell of raw sewage was horrible despite that fact we looked any ways, tons of dead very large fish , lots of shells which was cool, but the water in that area appeared black when the waves crashed in and the smell was even worse as you walked closer to the water. We went on another adventure down another trail where the map also said there were fossils... the water was much better, but not a lot... still tons of dead fish, and as for fossils ,, we only seen a few :(.As for the swimming beach it was ok very rocky... we hung out at the dog end which seemed a little better, still really rock.. but we made the best of it finding cool rocks.. the dog loved it!!!It was a large place so you have to drive everywhere from where our site was.. the little store was cute and my children enjoyed having ice cream there.. over all we made the best of it, but we would not go back or recommend it~

  We stayed at Rock Point 5 times last summer and each time I fell in love with it more. Spring camping can be kind of wet but when we returned in July it was perfect. The beach was clean, welcoming and big enough that even when busy did not seem crowded. There are nice trails for walking, biking and viewing amazing sunsets over the lake. The bathrooms and showers are clean and staff is friendly. We really enjoyed camping in the fall, there are plenty of deer, birds and butterflies. Looking forward to next season!

  We were thrilled to see we had booked a site overlooking the water. It surprised me although a fairly small park it's wonderfully beautiful. Lots of benches to sit and see a beautiful sunset. Old rocks were amazing to discover. Didn't look the cleanest place to swim. Beach is rocky and a bunch of dead birds on the shoreline. It is still a place worth visiting.

  Beautiful park and only an hour from Hamilton. We just had our first visit and will be going back for sure. The park is very well cared for and has a huge picnic area overlooking the lake and lovely trails. The down side is that you can smell the algae at some areas near the lake but overall, it is a lovely park.

  The park has so much waterfront it's a treat to take long walks. Our campsite was excellent and they have plenty of the same. We had a flat, grassy site, with a semi-gravel drive for the trailer and our car, and our site was under some pretty spectacular trees. We always had partial sun so we could relax in either sun or in shade throughout the day. The campsite was big and what we appreciated was the privacy as other campsites also were large and surrounded by shrubs, long grasses, and plants. The park store was amazing..it had EVERYTHING and especially a lot of fun stuff for kids. Staff was great. The whole park was very clean. Access to potable water and dumping was easy which was important for us as first-time campers in a trailer. Great park!

  Worst experience ever. Fist we made reservations for 12 noon... called ahead and were sent to 3 different site that already had people on them. Each time we returned to the office the girl sent us to ANOTHER occupied site. The fourth time we went back to the head office I was informed by the girl that we would have to wait for two hours in the public area before a site was available. UNNACCEPTABLE. After we finally got set up on our site, the harassment by park rangers began. we were unable to play ANY music whatsoever, the rangers came by to inform us. after the music was turned off they continued to come by to tell us we were not allowed to play Frisbee or football, another time to tell us to not talk so loudly. we ended up leaving at about 7 pm because we just weren't having a good time. I suggest anybody considering Rock Point to just go around the corner to BYNG.... much better service and standards!!

  We camped in this park for two nights and it was long enough, we would not recommend staying there any longer. It is a small park with not much to do. The beach area is mainly rocks and crushed shells with patches of sand here and there. The entire place is infested with mosquitos, and kids playgrounds are old and dirty. On the positive side, the restrooms and shower areas are plenty and very well maintained, the lake is beautiful and so are the surroundings. You can buy firewood just before you enter the park, it is $5 for a large bag, plenty for one night. The park store is overpriced (ie. one scoop of ice cream is somewhere around $5) not worth the visit. Overall, it is a good place to camp for a short stay if you are already in the area, but not worth a long drive.

  Just came back from a weekend camping at Rock Point..we had a great time! The park was clean, weather was perfect and the racoons were very brave.We had a little problem with the lights in the outhouse, but as soon as we mentioned it to the Ranger, it was fixed.Rock Point is great for our first camping trip of the year.. The water was cold but refreshing for a Saturday afternoon swim. Great this time of year before the seaweed and yuckies come in!
