It may not have the tall Algonquin trees surrounding it, but it's a fantastic place to camp with family and friends. The washrooms are clean, and the waterfront view is really nice especially during sunrise and sunset with a campfire. Keep in mind that sites are not very private, so I'd suggest to accommodate to that by setting up cars and tents accordingly. There is also a trail that wraps around the shoreline that people take early in the morning and throughout the day; our tent has privacy, and we set up our cars and tent to accommodate to the path and it was just fine. The staff are extremely friendly, and their park wardens are really cool people to even have a quick chat with. There's a nice hiking trail, as well as quite a few small spots to fish. The water is clear so I'd suggest using fluorocarbon line or some sort of leader for anything other than topwater. We didn't get to bring a kayak the last time we were here but it's definitely coming on the next trip. Water is usually super calm, also very clean, and it seems like a great place to get the boat out. All in all, it's a very under-rated campground, and having visited over 10 provincial parks by now, this campground is still one that I'm happy coming back to visit. Hope it stays around for years to come so I can take my future children as well.
Wiarton is a beautiful town with lots to explore. Campground was lacking in bathroom facilities; would recommend bringing your own firewood as theirs was wet each day and all kindling; the tent sites are quite small... but I'd sacrifice that any time for the view each morning right from the water adjacent site.
Visited again in 2022.
Not one for campgrounds. Usually camp remotely. But for trip around Tobermory and area was good spot to set up a base camp for few days. It's nothing special, indoor showers and washrooms, believe they close between 10pm-7am. But there's porta Jon's around. Next to the bay. It's a nice spot :)
We spent 5 days there in July and it was our last family vacation ever (although we didn't know that at the time). The staff was wonderful, the view was spectacular, the site was large (although I do think we had the only sight that was like 2x bigger than the rest of them). The bay was GORGEOUS! We spent time in the water, as well as photographing it. It rained a great deal while we were there, but it was still amazing! We loved our trip!!! It was our first time staying at Bluewater Park but we found most of the fellow campers welcoming and helpful. We appreciated the environment and the welcoming from strangers! We had a wonderful time and my daughter LOVED it!! The bay was cold but so nice!!! And the park was right by the library, the Wiarton Willie Statue was right there AND you could WALK in to the town!!! Everything was so close!!! Grocery stores, LCBO and beer stores (if you drink), candy store, ice cream shops, restaurants & our FAVOURITE place to go The Painted Turtle! My daughter LOVED that store!!! Incredible experience and we will be back for sure!!!!
It's a good place for the kids to hang out and it's free.
You can splash around in the water or play on the slides and other stuff available
Plenty of sitting area and parking so no worries or headaches.
The scenery is just like the movies - beautiful.
