Bruce Peninsula National Park

Absolutely amazing place to go winter camping! The trails are stunningly beautiful and when it has snowed, you feel like you're in Narnia. Campground staff were pleasant and the parking lot was kept plowed. It's a bit of a trek to the campsites from the winter camping parking lot, but that's what you've signed up for if you're winter camping! I was here for only three nights but it was so magical. I would definitely recommend camping here in the winter if you're looking for that challenge paired with stunning beauty!

Fantastic park with incredible views, we had a visit to the grotto early September and the water was cold but not horrible and not extremely busy. The rock formations and caves are so fun to explore and all of the park and trails are well kept give or take a few litter bugs that leave trash in places when they are there. I recommend coming on this short hike to the grotto and seeing it for yourself!

Had fun hiking with the family, picnic on the top of the rocky mountain. Parking is limited to 4 hours only. We enjoy the great views! ❤️

Undoubtedly, it is one of the most beautiful places in Ontario. Grotto is highly recommended. It is so beautiful the photos can't capture them. Water is crystal clean, and there are plenty of untouched places along the trail you can take a dip. There are multiple trails, and based on your capacity, you can pick which path to take. Note : You need to have a reservation to enter the park, even for day use. It's pretty difficult to have one when it's closer (particular during long weekends), so make arrangements in advance. Day use will give you only 4 hours of time, which is barely enough to explore this park. To enjoy the full experience, you need to camp overnight. If you visit the park for day use, don't forget to visit Singing Sands, which you can access for free with the same pass.

My husband, our pup Grace, and I spent a week vacationing in Tobermory and visited Bruce Peninsula National Park three times—it was such an amazing experience! The Grotto was incredible, and we loved exploring Indian Head Cove. Grace had a blast discovering new spots in the park, and we were blown away by the stunning turquoise water and breathtaking scenery. Every corner of the park offered beautiful places to relax and soak in the views. We went in the off season so it wasn’t too crowded. We can’t wait to come back in the future—this park is truly special!

This rating is for camping and not day use. So why a 3 star. So when we leave a park our immediate thought is will we be back…Killbear, Bon Echo… been multiple times. This park didn’t give us those vibes. As beautiful as the nature is at this park. Hiking is incredible and the stunning views of the Grotto. I would have to say It doesn’t really need to be seen again.The water is crystal clear and beautiful but not very swimmable due to current and temperature. But mostly the issue is with the camping. The sites are quite close and not very privately divided by tree lines. And there is NO HYDRO! I don’t understand this ? All provincial parks have hydro sites. Yet they allow generators from 8am to be used. Nothing says peaceful camping like the hum of gas generators buzzing all around the campsites all morning. They definitely loose a star for that. I would recommend visiting during the week and not in summer. To be away from the crowds and the sounds of loud campers this parks nature is breathtaking. Go for the nature. Not the camping.

Bruce Peninsula National Park, during the early days of summer, offered a serene and uncrowded experience. The timing was perfect to explore the park without the usual hustle and bustle. The well-maintained hiking trails allowed us to immerse ourselves in nature. The trail leading to the Grotto was particularly enchanting, with stunning rock formations and crystal-clear waters. The Grotto trail was a main part of our visit. The limestone caves, hidden pools, and turquoise waters created a magical atmosphere. Be prepared for some moderate hiking, but the payoff is worth it. Overall, Bruce Peninsula National Park is a gem for nature lovers. Whether you're an avid hiker or simply seeking tranquility, this park delivers. Just be sure to check the seasonal availability of amenities before planning your visit.

Amazing scenic views. Available restrooms throughout the park. Different levels of difficulty for trails. Some of the trails are marked well, although the Marr Trail is not. Even when looking at the map, you aren't quite sure if you're on a trail. The rocks along the shoreline is the Marr trail, and it can be more difficult when it's wet as the rocks are more slippery. I would suggest you bring a backpack with proper shoes and snacks along with water and swim shoes and whatever you need if you choose to go swimming when you reach the Grotto. Water temperatures is cool. The caves are accessible by swimming around to them. The first one i didn't see accessible by climbing, but I was able to climb from the water up the Grotto at the larger cave. Definitely worth the visit.
