Our Ponderosa | A Parkbridge Cottage & RV Resort

JC Cadger

My husband and I stayed over the labour day long weekend. The site was great, easy hookups, full service worked perfectly. Some pros: The splash pad and pools are clean, we loved the adult only pool option. The chip truck- when it's open- is a great option if you don't feel like cooking. The weekend entertainment was great, live bands and fireworks were awesome. The beach is beautiful and has a drive-up area right to the shore line. Some cons; The washrooms by the pool and front office are not clean and only one womens toilet, so if more than one person needs to go be prepared for a line-up. Also the shower by the front office doesn't drain well with stagnant water on the floor. But the worst part of our stay was the quiet time rule from 11pm-8am is not enforced. I get it's a long weekend, daytime music that started on Saturday was fine but the thumping bass and blaring music that went on until 3:30am Sunday morning from the adjacent seasonal cottages was absoluetly ridiculous. Overall I would go again but would not book in site area A or D to avoid the seasonal partiers.

We loved the park. The pools and waterslide were nice and lots of fun! The location was great, close to the beach. The beach was amazing, great for kids, very shallow for a long ways out, and calm and clear. Nice soft fluffy sand without rocks. The better beaches are further to the north. Our site was great, nice size, close to the pools. Just a little uneven where the parking spot is with newly layed gravel. And the location of the hook-ups was right at the back (normally they are at the side). Our water hose and electrical cord BARELY reached. They were stretched out to the max, and barely even touching the ground. If you're heading there, you may want to make sure you have more than 25' of hose and cord, just in case. The only real negative I can mention was that it stunk like cow shit the whole time (6 days we stayed). Some times worse than others, probably depending on which way the wind was blowing. Must be a farm nearby. Not sure if this was an isolated time of year, or if it's always like that. Just something to take into consideration. Other than that, we had a great time there. Would probably go back and try our luck again and hopefully it doesn't stink next time. 🤞

We had a wonderful trip to Our Ponderosa and really enjoyed our stay in the cozy little cabins. Having our own nook was great, but unfortunately, it was right next to the main road. We were told it was a quiet road, but it turned out to be quite busy and noisy. A sound barrier would make a huge difference, as the sites themselves were otherwise perfect. Or even having more cabins with similar setups in quieter areas of the park would be amazing. We also appreciated the on-site chip truck, but it’s only open Wednesday–Sunday, and since we visited Sunday–Wednesday, there weren’t any food options available. A small store with snacks or essentials would be a great addition for guests. The pool slide was a highlight for our little one, and the posted hours were very clear, but it was unexpectedly closed one day with no explanation, which was disappointing. Overall, we had a great time and hope to return! If the road noise can be addressed and a few small amenities added, this place could easily go from great to amazing.

I had a unique and memorable experience staying in an RV with my uncle’s family. The setting was peaceful and relaxing — perfect for unwinding and spending quality time together. We enjoyed delicious barbecue meals, shared stories around the campfire, and simply soaked in the beauty of nature. The beach itself was clean and calm, great for walks, playing, or just sitting back and enjoying the view. Whether you’re into camping, beach vibes, or bonding with family, Ipperwash Beach offers a warm and laid-back atmosphere. Definitely a weekend to remember!

Spent the weekend there recently. Camp sites were well maintained, bathroom and showers were clean each time we used them. The pool slide was out of service, but that didn't stop the kids from having fun. The staff were friendly and helpful. They also have a mini putt. The beach is not far from the campground. I would go back again or recommend this location to others.
