Definitely not for tent camping even though they have multiple waterfront sites for tents. Zero privacy, no water taps located for tent sites even though you pay a premium. No grills over fire pit and during our stay no ice at office. This is just a large trailer park, so if you are into being able to see and hear all your neighbours and have a trailer, this might be for you. It is such a waste as they could have made the one side of the park for tents only and the other side for people who like to travel with the entire house.

Mclaren is part of St. Lawrence Parks. Beautiful campground. It was a nice stay. People were very friendly. The campsite I picked was waterfront, pictures are directly from my site. Campground was very clean and at night was very quiet. Definitely will return!

During my stay, I was in a dog friendly cabin for 4 nights. The cabins were very nice but would prefer if the ones right on the water were dog friendly but it is what it is. The employees were super nice, but the reason for the 4 stars for service is the fact that they can’t deliver firewood, but I wasn’t a big inconvenience for us as we had a big truck. There was a big grocery store nearby so we didn’t even have to bring food. Overall, there was beautiful view and would recommend to anyone who wants a nice vacation without spending too much money and wants to come with their dogs and family/friends.

Should you be a fan of awe-inspiring sunsets, selecting a location on the western side will definitely be a decision you won't regret - the views are simply stunning! The campground is serenely quiet, allowing you to connect with nature sans the distractions of parties or music. The staff consistently maintain a cheerful and amiable demeanor, always on hand to help when needed. The shower facilities are pristine and user-friendly, complete with hot water to provide that invigorating experience. Furthermore, there are several spots across the campground where drinkable tap water is readily available, allowing you to refill at your leisure without incurring extra charges. My family and I spent some time here and loved every moment, prompting us to return the following year for an additional week of enjoyment. All the campsites we occupied were beyond satisfactory. Cleanliness was a consistent theme across the washrooms and there was never a shortage of hot water in the showers. The staff, ever friendly and readily available to assist, along with the complementary internet service, added extra delight to our stay. We are eagerly anticipating our next trip back for another week filled with joy. We sincerely thank the campground for creating such a memorable vacation for us.

I love this place! 2nd year we camp there on the island and I would recommend that campground anytime. If you like sunsets, choose the West side locations and you will not regret it. So beautiful! Very calm campground, no party, no music, just enjoy the nature. Employees are always friendly, helpful and happy. Showers are clean and easy to use (with hot water) and there are drinkable tap water locations where you can refill anything for free. I will go back next year!

Really enjoy this campground. Certainly one of our top Ontario parks we enjoy. There are sites for every type of camping other than RV Resort style. With that in mind, the sites for larger rigs are reasonably flat and spacious. Some have 50amp service, some with 30amp and some with no power at all. There is water available at many of the sites. A bunch of seasonal sites around the park too. Some are nicely setup and some downright gaudy. There are many ten sites on the water's edge that look great but many of them are on quite the slope so be careful when you read the descriptions of the site you are looking to book. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We haven't experienced annoying neighbours in the many times we've been here. That has to be due to the staff as this park gets busy and we all know that busy often leads to rowdy. We have a ridiculously long trailer (45') and have no issues getting through the roads so that's good. The dump station is setup reasonably with a bit of an angle toward the pit so you can get everything out. The only issue is that you really have to be aware of where it is and not get stuck in the road that goes to it unless, of course, you are dumping, because anyone at the dump station will be blocking the road. The only downfall to this and all other provincially managed Ontario parks is the price of wood. They make a rule that you can't bring in external wood due to invasive bugs etc but then charge a ludicrous fee per bag, ($9 this season plus tax) If they really don't want people to bring in wood, charge a reasonable price and people will buy it.
