Sibbald Point

For my first camping experience, I couldn’t have chosen a better location than Sibbald Point. The campground offered ample space for parking and setting up multiple tents; we comfortably managed with two tents and one car, and still had plenty of room to spare. The site is meticulously maintained, with a variety of amenities that enhance the experience. There’s a beach and a boat area for water activities, designated spots for BBQs, and a food area, ensuring that all your outdoor needs are covered. One of the highlights is the abundance of washrooms conveniently located around each campsite, making the stay more comfortable. The campsites themselves are surrounded by trees, providing a sense of privacy and seclusion, which added to the overall enjoyment. Additionally, the proximity to a nearby neighborhood was a bonus. It’s reassuring to know that if you forget something or need to stock up on food or supplies, everything you need is just a short drive away. Sibbald Point truly offers a well-rounded camping experience, making it a perfect choice for both first-timers and seasoned campers alike.

Great place to camp not too far from Toronto. Sobeys is just a 9 minute drive away if you need more groceries. Camp grounds can be noisy, especially in the west camp where there are electric outlets. People blast music on loud speakers, sing and hold parties both at camp sites and at the beach, but it was lively and fun since they happened to play good music when we stayed there. Things quieted down before 11 pm. Electric outlets come in handy for people with electric cars, RVs, campers. Also many of us used the plugs to pump air mattresses, charge cell phones, etc. One family had string lights decorating their camp site at night which was pretty. Beautiful beach and lake for day trips or to enjoy while camping. Beach gets busy and crowded but we got there for 10 am on a Saturday and had a nice picnic table by the lake. Staff at the front gate and at the little amphitheatre were friendly and helpful. It was educational to go to amphitheatre to learn more about bugs. They had nets and containers for visitors for catching bugs which are then gently released back into the meadow. Be careful about ticks! I’ve attached the warning from the guide/guide to the park.

The beach is clean and well-kept, making it a great spot to unwind on a sunny day. The park also features spacious picnic areas, BBQ facilities, and plenty of shade under the trees, which is ideal for a day out with family and friends. For those who enjoy hiking, there are several trails that offer scenic views of the lake and surrounding nature. The park also has well-maintained campsites for those looking to extend their stay. Overall, Sibbald Point Provincial Park is a serene and enjoyable place to spend a day or even a weekend. The combination of a beautiful beach, picnic spots, and nature trails makes it a must-visit.

Spent two nights camping here and absolutely loved every minute. The grounds are very well kept as are the facilities. Such a beautiful and relaxing experience. Took a tour of the little museum and visited the shops as well, friendly staff. The water is clean as was the beach, overall a great place. Highly recommended. We left the dogs at home this trip but the lots are roomy enough to bring your pets and the dog beaches are easy accessible. It would be great if you could get a paddle boat or jetski rental nearby but you can bring your own as they do not have any on site or nearby.

Overall I recommend this beach. The beach has plenty of parking most of the time. My family has a season pass as we go here often as its close by. The beach is great for young children as they can go out fairly far and it is still shallow. There are also cool rocks to either fish from or snorkel. We camped here one time and it was a decent experience. One down side is the need to pre-register for each day use, although if you can get passed this its not bad. Another downside is because it's close to Toronto it gets many sketchy and disrespectful people. When we camped with my family and children the camper next to our site started blasting evil music with curse words in it and when we asked them to turn it down they didn't care. The park ranger ended up having to talk to these campers and give them a warning. Also almost every time we get a picnic table near the beach and start using it with our stuff all over it some disrespectful people place their belongings on our picnic table that we are using. I think it's a cultural thing and these recent immigrants don't understand Canadian values and respect for peoples space. Other than these incidents, this park is beautiful and fun for my family so we still will end up going here due to it being close and convenient.
