Beautiful and clean. Unfortunately the beach is not so nice when the geese take over and poop all over the beach and grassy area of the beach. Beautiful and well kept trails to bike and hike all year round. Easy access too. We have yet to camp here because we live near by, but I will update if we ever do.
Wow, what a hidden gem. I'm a regular to Ontario Parks but they are hard to get a decent site on short notice, so I looked into the regional conservation areas for a last minute getaway... Laurel Creek was exactly what I was looking for:- not overly crowded- lake swimming and canoeing- quiet tent camping area separate from the trailers (no offence to trailer campers)- walking trails- less than 2 hrs from home (Niagara)Had a great time, the park is very well maintained, and the tent sites are nicely spaced outMy only criticism is that I noticed a few of the tent sites (mine included) have a bit of slope to them making setting the tent on a flat spot a challenge. Will be returning here for sure
I've been going to various campgrounds and RV parks for the better part of the last 15 years. Myself and my family are quiet and young and have never had a problem and never cause a problem. However the security in this park or a bunch of zealots and half the people that camp here are for locals you seem to have a very high opinion of themselves and feel the need to tell you what you can and can't do in their Park. I will never come to this park again and I would highly suggest anybody considering this park go somewhere else.
The beach is quite small but rather clean. The lake is not slimey as far as we were in the water (just past the roped off area). Generally, a great place to go for a nice afternoon swim (with children, too)! The proximity to the city is awesome. I am taking the kids camping, as the camp sights were quite nice (we only saw area 2)!
The park itself is extremely quiet and peaceful, yet super close to amenities which is nice. The showers/washrooms were fairly clean; downfall ... there was only hot water for one day that we were there, day two the water was freezing cold. The staff at the main entrance were friendly and helpful upon arrival. The Park Warden's were rude and unprofessional. There is a way to address concerns/complaints and the two ladies that marched onto our campsite and barked orders at us came across as extremely unpleasant and quite frankly rude. They lingered around the site and did not let us enjoy our family vacation as we had planned to. They were sarcastic and on a major power trip (for lack of a better word). In the customer service industry you need to learn to address situations in a professional and calm manner. We will not be attending this conservation area again (nor should you if travelling with a group of friends) which is unfortunate as overall the park is extremely nice.
