We loved camping at Turkey Point. Very nice sites. Clean park and love that there was lots for us to see and do. Will be back to camp there again.
We stayed the August long weekend, all the sites were booked. You do feel like you are camping but most of the sites are visible to each other. I noticed a lot of 'groups' bunched the the same areas, which is no problem, except when someone forgets to bring something to the next camp site and they yell "EMMA, BRING THE PANCAKE MIX WITH YA" at 8 am Sunday morning. It is very family oriented with lots of bikes and trikes, a very good sense of 'busy'. For the traffic, it is a well kept campground, more like a park than a woods. It is close to the beach, but not on the beach, I was glad our weekend was cooler. Good to meet people, good for families.
Located off the shores of Lake Erie near the town of Turkey Point, Turkey Point Provincial Park is the only park in the Ontario Parks system with its own golf course. The park is in a wooded area and has been in service since about 1956. All of the sites are spacious and private. Some of the sites have electricity. None of the sites have water or sewer. There is no restaurant on site and the Park Store is small and lacking in basics like milk and bread. You can hear traffic from the nearby road at night. The beach is about 2 kilometers down the road (you need to drive to it) in Turkey Point. The beach is sandy but the shoreline is covered in weeds and sharp shells. There are nice shade trees on the beach. Stay clear of the outhouses at the breach; they stink like you would not believe! There are no picnic tables on the beach. Getting back to the campground, firewood is available for sale at the Store for a modest fee. No kindling. The comfort stations are dated but clean. The dump station is small; be prepared to wait a long time. The power outlets at the campground are spaced very far apart so be sure to bring a long extension cord if you want power. Oh, and watch the roads inside the park; they are narrow. We saw a large trailer actually hit a tree. Shows at the park were good. The kids especially liked a dog show featuring Timber, a police dog. And at night on Saturdays, there is a scavenger hunt. In conclusion, Turkey Point Provincial Park is nothing special. It is dated and lacking in infrastructure. And the beach is disappointing. Long Point Provincial Park is just down the road and a much better place to camp.
This park has a nice nine hole course you can play when you are visiting the park. It is very close to the town of Turkey Point.
My Husband and I just got back from a 4 day visit to Turkey Point Provincial park - I was looking for a great beach and some fishing. I was told...there was both...even if we brought our dog...This is NOT the case. The 'dog friendly beach' is 10 ft of dirty, marshy water front. We were so disappointed (and embarrassed when we got there - as we had all of our beach day gear with us in hand) to realize it was not ideal to swim or spend any amount if time at. The fishing was also scarce...a rocky point off the boat marina doesn't lend well to fishing with little kids. The camping site was nice and private, but everything is very far apart (you drive to beach, golf course, fishing etc). Not ideal. Wouldn't go back. We definitely feel mislead by the person we spoke to in the office before booking.
I love going to turkey point provincial park our family goes camping every year at turkey point, only thing is some campsites are too closes to each other
The Pull thru sites were huge the campsite was quiet. the beach is separate from the park and very busy and full of boaters docked off-shore, yeck! for a provincial park. all in all I'd take a pass on turkey point. Long point is near-by and has a way better beach.
The husband and I stayed on site 47 in Walking Stick campground. Very happy with the site - A corner site in the outer perimeter. Very private and large site with lots of shady trees. Water tap and washrooms only a few sites away. Comfort station washrooms were quite clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Had 2 dogs with us. We found the dog beach pretty disappointing - water was muddy and swamp-like. So we went 20 min down the coast to Port Dover. If you arrive early enough you can get prime parking right on the beach for $10. We simply secured our pooches to the trucks tailgate and set up our beach chairs. Q
The site we were on was a large ,private and had sand /grass base.My wife and I camp with our dog and only try camping at places that have "dog" friendly beaches.The dog beach consisted of a path way cut through "swamp" grass to a beach that was again a cleared out section of long grass about 20 ft wide .You have to wade out a bit through the muddy bottom until you reach the sandy bottom .Upon arrival at the camp ground we see multiple deer tick carrying Lyme disease warning signs.Had I known this threat I would have never booked online .No were on the Turkey point website was there any warnings about this .
Great on the weekends if you like people watching. Great during the week to sit and relax and listen to the sound of the waves.
