Nice park off of the Bluewater Highway (21). Not a wilderness park by any stretch of the imagination, but handy for recreational vehicles to camp and day users for hiking and the beach. The beach is pretty nice with soft sand on most areas, aside from cobblestone rock and driftwood. Great area for rock hunters as the variety of rocks and stones is really astounding, apparently carried by glaciers. We picked a full bag of garbage off the beach, although some of it may have washed ashore from Lake Huron. The water off the beach is quite shallow for the first 50 meters or so, which keeps the water warmer than normal Lake Huron temperatures. There are some decent hiking trails in the Park as well, and a nice camp store. Overall a very pleasant spot, and opportune for those without a cottage or don’t want to afford a resort.

It was amazing! Great camping sites, great views! Plenty of parking space, staff are nice! If u r here, go to the beach! 100% worth it! They got a playground for kids, most importantly dog friendly! You can bring them to the beach as well. In a word, it's perfect!🥰

Point farms is in a beautiful location. The landscape changes alot depending on where you are in the park. The old farms trail was extremely beautiful and took you all around the park. The facilities were clean and well marked out. The park store was a decent size and had lots of park merchandise to buy. The campsite seemed very nice and clean.

We very much enjoy our stays. There are no quiet hours at the park, and you might end up not sleeping well because of loud neighbours. A small sound machine and/or ear plugs can help if you are a light sleeper. Water shoes are a lifesaver at the beach. It's pretty rocky when you first enter. Water is gorgeous, though, and we spend full days at the beach. The showers, bathrooms and laundry facility make life so comfortable while camping.

Nice provincial park to visit for a couple of nights. The Old Farms Trail is an easy hike through some woodlands. The beach is nice (though a typical pebble shoreline in most parts of the water). The washroom buildings are very clean and well kept. The 'outhouse' buildings were pretty smelly but did have a sink area with running water. Campsites in Huron were fairly private and pleasant.
