Situated in the township of Southwest Middlesex, the park is conveniently located near the charming village of Appin, ON. The surrounding landscape is characterized by scenic farmland and quiet rural roads, which are perfect for afternoon strolls or cycling. While the park feels worlds away from the bustle of the city, it remains only a short drive from the urban conveniences of London and Strathroy.

The heart of the park is its modern community clubhouse, which serves as a central hub for social gatherings, dinners, and organized events. During the warmer months, the heated outdoor swimming pool is a popular spot for relaxation and low-impact exercise. The grounds are meticulously maintained, featuring paved streets and lush green spaces that reflect the pride of the community. Other notable features include horseshoe pits and indoor recreation areas that encourage regular interaction and activity among the residents.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Nature enthusiasts will appreciate being close to the Longwoods Road Conservation Area, where local history and hiking trails meet. For those who enjoy a round of golf, several high-quality courses are located within a twenty-minute drive of the estate. Local farmer's markets in nearby Glencoe offer fresh, seasonal produce, while the Ska-Nah-Doht Indigenous Village provides a unique cultural and educational experience for visitors interested in exploring the heritage of the region.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal choice for active retirees and seniors who value a quiet, secure environment with a strong social component. It is perfectly suited for seasonal RVers looking for a consistent, high-quality summer base or those seeking a permanent lifestyle community among like-minded peers. Travelers who prefer a peaceful, mature atmosphere over the high-energy buzz of family-centric resorts will find Silver Dove Estates to be an excellent fit for their travel style.

Lovely park and lovely people. Great live bands in the summer!
Jerrica Benton
Great park. More expansion coming. Was great for the hiking trails, granted they were closed due to weather so I couldn’t go all the way. Very happy to visit

This was a great family experience! The cabin was perfect for our family of 7. Spacious, comfortable and clean. There is plenty of space around the cabin for outdoor activities. Park and basketball courts right beside. The washrooms are clean and inside a hall which keeps all the bugs away. The owners are friendly, accommodating and go above and beyond to make sure your needs are met. Pool is huge and clean. HIDDEN SECRET: There is a little creek behind the pool and I was able to catch some 5 inch trout with spinner lures! 6 Stars would be more appropriate! Well done Silver Dove!!

I love this park. Best seasonal park I've set up at. Yes it's under construction to improve the park. John and Sandra have done some amazing improvements and are still doing more each year. Downfall is the lane in with pot holes but drive slow and it's fine. Speed in a park shouldn't be a race track anyway, although some seem to think it is. Go slow and enjoy the ride. All parks are what you make of it, parks aren't meant to entertain you, your there to entertain yourself. If your looking for a park to entertain, go to Disney world or Darien Lake. There is an entertainment committee and they do all kinds of things for kids and adults to be involved in. I think that's a fabulous feature. People here are friendly and it's awesome how they all seem to help each other if needed. Your camp hosts are not here to help you have a good time , they are amazing at letting you enjoy friends and family with out them chasing you down to pay for visitors. How many parks can you go to and not have to pay for visits or a weekend gathering on your lot with family and friends. Be respectful of everyone and this park won't disappoint.
