Let me first say the best thing about Pointfarms… Goderich! It’s a beautiful town! Make sure you stop and check-out the town on your way through. There is a really nice bakery on one of the streets off the circle.
Pointfarms Provincial Park starts off with a long paved road, off highway 21, then you get to the front gates. Make sure you get out and take a picture of the Pointfarms sign right at highway 21.
There’s lots of parking at the front gates, so you can go in and register your site. One thing I’ve always notice, is that if you don’t get there early on a Friday afternoon, there might be a long lineup to register. After registering, the road splits into two. Huron Campground, and Colborne Campground.
Huron Campground
The campsites all seem to have alot of “roadfront” (similar to waterfront). They all seem to be wide, and open to the road. Some of the campsites on the INNER parts of Huron have no backs to them, and are just open to the campsite behind you. When booking, make sure the description says private = good, and you should be fine. The campsites on the OUTTER part of huron are all good, although again with alot of roadfront.
The bathrooms are centrally located, and are usually pretty clean. There are no family showers on the huron side, only individual showers for woman and men. Colborne has the family showers, and I usually just drive over there to use them. There is a nice playground right beside the bathroom, where all the kids usually meet up and play.
The views of Lake Huron are AMAZING! They have 2 spots where you are sitting right on-top of the cliff, and can view the whole lake. Each lookout spot has a path that goes down to the rocky beach. Sunsets views are amazing!
Some decent sites from my memory: Site # 55 – is VERY open. But, it’s right on the bluff, with an open view of the sunset. Site # 95 is VERY private. All the sites around the outside of the park are fairly private as well.
The beach is below the Colborne side of the park. So if your at Huron, you need to drive over, and down the hill to the beach. Colborne residents can ither walk down, or drive down as well. The beach is nice and sandy, and no rocks.
I can’t comment on the sites at Colborne side, as I’ve never camped there. However, while driving through, it does look fairly private, and if the private description is GOOD, then you should be set.
One other comment. The park seems to be really family oriented. There are ALOT of families here, and thus makes the park a little louder. If your a young couple, without kids, be ready to get woken up at 7am with kids running around. This is also NOT a party campsite. Although, I didn’t really see many rangers driving around, I’m sure they wouldn’t tolerate late night noise.
Here are a couple pictures of the park
