I enjoy Bronte Creek for camping because the sites I book have good privacy. Vary in sizes.The comfort station is well looked after. There's a laundry room. We don't need beaches, and playgrounds and all that when we're here so the fact that the day use park is seperate from the camping area doesn't bother us. Staff have always been friendly. We book at the furthest loop of sites (400's) and forget that we're in a city. For 4 years now it's been our last camping trip of the season and the Halloween event. Looking forward to many Camping trips to come.

Very nice provincial park in the middle of the city. Quiet and private sites are located just right. Some people will disagree but I like the separation between the camping area and the day use area as you don't have a bunch of daytrippers coming in and out. Very relaxing at the camping side even though the park was completely full. Gate attendant was polite and courteous. Don't buy firewood there, get it where it won't be wet and moldy. Also nice to have smaller pieces to start the fire but didn't need half a bags worth. Not sure how this was suppose to burn. Ended up leaving it at the campsite along with other firewood purchased outside the park. Overall great experience and wexwill be returning.

This was a great camp ground that was close to home but this year it hasn’t been well kept at all. Every trip has been disappointing with all the trash around each site i been on. The last trip I was lucky I didn’t step on a left over pin with sharp edges. It did puncture my tarp that I lay under my tent so the tent was saved but this is dangerous and the park should do a much better job inspecting and cleaning the sites between turnovers to ensure cleanliness and safety. People bring their kids to this place there shouldn’t be dangerously items sticking out of the ground!

Good provincial park campground. Spacious sites, friendly staff, very good facilities. Location not perfect since you have to drive to main park. LOVED the off leash dog trail.

Great park. Great location to Toronto. We used as a one night stop over. We're self contained so didn't use washroom facilities. Everywhere is clean and tidy. Staff super friendly. Lovely area to have a walk around. Dump station easy to drive through. Small gift shop. Check in with reception is straight forward especially if you do pre check in.
