Best place for a quiet walk, sit at the beach, or a bike ride. Staff are informative and very friendly
Great place for a quiet and relaxing camping experience. Friendly staff. Close to Port Elgin for supplies.
A friend and I and our dogs camped at Macgregor point in July 2014. The park is a good size with large, private sites - we could hardly see our neighbours. It feels like you are in the middle of nowhere but the city of Port Elgin is only a 5 -10 minute drive to the north - which is handy for buying supplies and grocery shopping. The weather was cold, wet and dreary for most of our 3 night stay so we didn't get to try the beach but we were able to explore some of the hiking trails. There is a great trail for hiking biking that run along the shoreline and seems to go on for miles. The dogs loved it and there are plenty of places along the shore that permit pets on the beach. The washroom/shower facilities were very new and clean. All in all we enjoyed our stay at the park but as one of the other reviewers mentioned it is missing that wow factor that a lot of other provincial parks have.
This park has everything we need and want. Reasonable sized sites, Open and covered. A lovely board walk where one can take a wheelchair. Beautiful walks on the beach front and through the bush. A nice little store run by well informed seniors. We have heard complaints about bugs but we go in the fall and don't have a problem with them at that time. We don't have a dog but we do appreciate the dog exercise area. It means there are less dogs doing their jobs in the park. A
This place is a nice spot to take a walk along Lake Huron. You can view the south end of the Bruce Peninsula to the north, as well as walking through a variety of environments. There are fens, boulder pavements, the beach and wooded areas.
Beautiful park, pristine forests, large sites that offer great privacy. We camped there over the last weekend, stayed for 3 nights. This park offer great trails for hiking and biking, one of the trails leading to Sunset Point. If you there, choose time wisely and be there at sunset, you will not regret. Don't forget the camera. The staff is really nice and park facilities are clean. There is number of programs for kids and families that run by park staff.But we were really disappointed about the beach, There is 2 beach areas: one for a day use and second for campers. Both beaches are small and don't look inviting at all. We explored areas nearby, so we went to Sauble Beach and Kincardine both about 40 min away (one - north, one - south) and both offer very nice beaches. Port Elgin Beach which is 5-10 min away offer great public beach as well. The water is still really cold.In conclusion, if you are a hiking or biking family, or you don't mind driving to the beach, I would definitely recommend this park as your camping destination.
MacGregor Point was our second RV experience in our new 32' Hideout. The parking spot was a little tight but once we were in, it was very private. The site was clean but you are pretty close to other sites. Not KOA close, but a few trees between sites. The beach was terrible unfortunately. They had lots of bike trails (the guys had a fantastic bike experience on the different trails). We went for long walk along the shore, which was very rocky, and the sunset point was super rocky and we were told it gets very crowded when you go out to get a peek of the sunset. (We did not get to see the sunset)... Big ALERT: Leaves of 3 - leave them be... the park is heavily layered in poison ivy... like.. a LOT... (Everywhere you looked)... The bathrooms were very clean. The showers were a little worn out but that didn't stop me from having a hot shower (which is my favorite thing when we are camping)... We had a water leak under the RV and the closest store (Walmart and Canadian Tire) was less than 10 minutes away. Same area had a TIM HORTONS (which was an added PLUS!!) They have Yurts there for people who wish to rent the space and don't have a tent or RV. My son stayed at this same camp site for a class trip in the winter and had a decent time.We may/may not be back here. I guess it all depends on what is available and how badly we want to go camping. : ) Not the worst camping experience we've had.. but the poison ivy will be an issue when the grandbabies get older...
A beautiful older provincial park, stayed for a week in June with the family and the tent trailer. We all had a great time, our site was private yet close to the comfort station (which were cleaned very regularly) An awesome park for bicycling, all but one trail can be ridden on. All the trails are beautiful. The beach though was small. Canoeing the big lake is fun but be cautious of sudden waves that can make it more challenging. One of the nights we were treated with a show from a flying squirrel. A fun holiday!!
I went yurting to Macgregor Point Provincial Park this week for 3 nights. It was an excellet trip. The yurts are clean and spacious. They can sleep upto people. The hiking and biking trails are grest. There is only one issue with the trails. The signage neeeds a lot of upgrading. At certain points during your walk you may feel lost since there are no signs or markets telling you where you are for long distances. I was looking for the turtle pond and could not find it for almost 1 hour. There is no signage what so ever about the directions to the pond. Overall a great yurting experience except for the signage.
The great outdoors, located in the heart of nature. Lots of animal tracks to be spotted in the fresh snow. The chickadees eat right out of the palm of your hand. Snowshoeing skating whether on the outdoor hockey rink, or around the woodland oval. Buy your snowshoes at the store in winter...the price is better than Canadian Tire on sale! Take your garbage home with you keep the natural enviroment clean.
