This is the perfect place for a family or friends! There are lots of rooms camp sites, trailers and even a yurt! There is a food truck on site and also a play ground for the littles! Trails for the quads and side by sides! I highly recommend this place if you are a quad and side by side lover!! So much fun!

Great place run by an absolutely awesome couple of people. A must check out if you are in the area off roading and need accommodations. My son and I make it out once a year and enjoy every minute of it. The sites are cozy, amenities aplenty and atmosphere top notch. Looking forward to our next time out for a visit!

Best place to go if you're looking for a place to quad, jeep, atv, and offroad. On site trails are great, as well it is in a central location to ride the hatva and katva trails. The options are almost limitless. The site itself is well kept and up to date. The pool is always immaculate. Bathrooms and showers are cleaned and lots of hot water even on a packed weekend. The owners scott and kate are some of the most friendliest people we have ever met and always are very accommodating and go above and beyond for helping in any manner. We've been 3 times now in 2 years and going again for a second time this year. The place to go if that's your style.

After visiting Minden Off-Road Park for the first time I can't say enough positive things about my experience. I was so impressed by how well-maintained the entire facility was, especially the large network of trails suitable for all off-road vehicles. I spent 8 hours exploring the park and some nearby trail systems and can't wait to come back again in the near future. The price is reasonable, the location is convenient, and no matter what kind of machine you're riding you're sure to have a great time.

Fantastic place, can’t wait to go back. Great camping sites, clean, price can’t be beat. Not too far from the GTA. Scott may be the nicest guy I’ve ever met. He certainly set the tone for an awesome experience.
