Turkey Point
Overview
Turkey Point Provincial Park offers a unique and diverse camping experience on the north shore of Lake Erie in Southern Ontario. Known for its **varied ecosystems**, including coastal marshes and rare oak savannas, this park provides a relaxing escape into the natural world. Unlike many lakeside parks, it is situated atop a high plateau, offering a distinct vantage point overlooking the resort village and the sparkling blue waters below.
Location & Surroundings
Tucked away in the heart of **Norfolk County**, the park is surrounded by a patchwork of lush agricultural land and the vastness of the Lake Erie shoreline. The natural sandy terrain makes it a particularly comfortable spot for RV travelers, as the ground stays firm and drains exceptionally well during the summer season. The surrounding area is defined by the **Long Point Bay**, a globally recognized region for migratory birds and diverse aquatic life.
Amenities & Park Features
The park is well-equipped for RVers, featuring over 200 individual campsites, many of which are outfitted with **electrical hookups** to accommodate modern rigs. While the park maintains a serene, rustic atmosphere, guests have access to well-maintained facilities. Key features include:
- Large, **level campsites** shaded by mature oak trees.
- Dedicated **mountain bike trails** that weave throughout the park.
- Clean, central comfort stations with **modern shower facilities**.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Just a short distance from the main campground, the **Turkey Point Beach** offers two kilometers of shallow, sandy shoreline that is ideal for swimming and sunbathing. For those interested in the local culinary scene, the nearby **Burning Kiln Winery** provides award-winning tastings in a stunning historical setting. Adventure seekers can also spend their days exploring the Inner Bay by kayak or visiting the local eco-adventure park for zip-lining through the forest canopy.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is a premier choice for **active families** and outdoor sports enthusiasts who appreciate the combination of woodland trails and waterfront relaxation. It is particularly well-suited for RVers who prefer a **natural forest setting** while remaining close to the vibrant energy of a beach town. If you are looking for a basecamp to explore the unique Carolinian forest or spend long afternoons on the water, this park is a perfect fit.

Perfect Beach for Dog Lovers and Shallow Water Fun! Turkey Point is hands down one of the best beaches I’ve visited, especially if you love shallow water and want a peaceful, low-wave experience. The water stays shallow for such a long stretch, making it perfect for wading and playing, especially with my dog. I love how I can play in the water while my dog swims around—it’s ideal for both of us to enjoy. The calm water and gentle waves make it a relaxing spot for families and pet owners. Highly recommend Turkey Point for a laid-back beach day with your furry friend!

The camping spot we were in at the provincial park was very spacious, providing ample room for our setup. While it's not close to the beach, you can reach it with a 10-15 minute walk. Unfortunately, the comfort station was disgusting and smelled awful, clearly very poorly maintained. On a positive note, there was plenty of area for kids to play around.

A warm shallow beach with medium soft brown sand that is relatively hard packed. It's quite clean, has shaded spots, not a lot of crowds, beach food restaurants across the road, vault toilets etc. The main park and beach are two different properties. The park has decent camping in an established forest.

Nice white sandy beach. The water was clear and great for a swim. Many ice cream places nearby. There are portable toilets and handwash stations available.

Turkey Point Provincial Park is located in Turkey Point, Ontario, and is part of the Ontario Parks system. A very nice park for camping with friends and family. Well maintained park and have electricity supply at the campsites, and cars can be parked in the campsite. There are bathrooms and toilets close to the campsites and good, but depends on how people use them. This place very close to Turkey Point beach on the shore of lake Erie. It is a very clean sand beach with clear water, good for a walk or play in the sand or swimming at own risk. There are few restaurants along side of the road, and can a beer with the beautiful view of the beach. Not too crowded, at least when I was here and was very pleasant in the evening while the sun set. Had a very good time and experience at this beach and at the provincial park overnight camp. Prepared our own barbeque with bonfire and lot of talking with friends. Patrolling is done by the park management to ensure safety of the campers and to avoid any issues.
