This park has LOTS of camp sites. We camped in mid September and it was full. We are tent campers and could only get am RV site. It was fine for a night or two. The beach was a pleasant surprise. Clean waters and sand. Lots of parking. Bike and walking trails all over.

This is a great campground, where the main attraction is obviously the popular beach. However there are other activities, including lots of bike trails and a pleasant walking trail up a hill to a point with a view of the whole region and historic religious art along the path. The campsites vary in privacy and indeed how level they are for your RV or tent. The village of Oka is nearby if you need supplies. There are few trails where you are allowed to bring your dog and I would give the park low marks for dog-friendliness. Dogs are not allowed at the beach, which is understandable given how busy it is on summer weekends.

Great view. Small loop hiking trails that are well maintained. Good for kids, but can make it longer if you want. Public restrooms. Not many picnic areas. $10 at the gate if you don't pay online for a pass

Excellent morning trip with the little ones. Not too crowded or busy, lots of space and shade. Nice tables and bbq grills ready for use. My son particularly enjoyed the paddle boat ride - though, a bit less enjoyable in the strong winds we had.

Oka beach and their campgrounds are great! Oka camping: we did our first ever camping with our three year old and it went so well! The campground we had was spacious and had water and electricity! With a fire pit 🔥 We were able to hook up our phones and air mattress and use the outlet right by our tent to inflate it! We used the water spout (which every camping unit in our area had , electricity box as well) and used it to rinse ourselves and drink! The campground we were in was not very secluded and yet I really didn’t care, it was so nice to be in nature and everyone around kept to themselves yet were very polite ☺️ The beach was accessible by walking or by car! Okay beach: 🏖️ beautiful beach but very busy! Be sure to get there by opening or close to 8am to get a good spot to sit if you want the lake view. If not it starts to fill in immensely by noon on a Saturday and Sunday. You can do kayak, paddle board and peddle boat! (Which you have to pay for.) They have a large inflatable jungle gym for kids 6yrs + Mans there’s washrooms and changing rooms, a little boutique shop at the center of the beach and kids park in the area. Really a great weekend spent!
