Not gonna lie did not expect to see my local provincial park on a KZread video today

Gorgeous campsite with beautiful beach and dunes. Charming comfort stations, convenient amenities. Enjoy your stay at The Pinery!

Another great in depth camping site video! I like this place more than the last one. Much more wooded spots. Spacious enough cap sites but, secluded enough. I love the beach access. This place has an excellent amount of amenities. Cool that they have river side options. Always gotta have a delicious beer. The hiking trails look nice. Another great video.

Yes it was!

nice place - love the trail - well i love any trail with a boardwalk! the facilities looks like they are very well maintained too. Clean! Thanks for sharing!

This looked like a nice camping/winery vacation. Such pretty views.

This is my local provincial park. Love coming here, it's one of the best in the province in my (biased) opinion.

Awesome video. As we are planning our trip to this park, we really enjoyed your tips. Thank you!

Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy your camping trip.

Wow this is very informative! My first time watching you're video and I love creators that provide information as well... thanks for such a great video!!

I haven’t been camping since I was a kid! This brings me back. Looks like a great option with good facilities.

Been anxiously awaiting this video since spotting you at the pinery. -signed the lady in the background in the store. Keep the videos coming, we love watching them.

This looks like the perfect spot to do some camping for me! Incredible experience my friend!

I love a good camping place and this one looks like it has it all! The beach area looks so pretty! Great video! 😀

If someone like camping it looks like a perfect spot. Nice beach, looks very clean. Lots of informations - perfect 👌

Huuuge fan of Pinery! Awesome park!

you guys have a really nice camping set up! The dunes beach looks beautiful and I love how it doesn't look crowded. Their park store really does look like they have a great variety of things. you're right, the water does look like you're somewhere in the Caribbean! So cool that you saw a beaver swimming. So cute! nice that it's so close to Grand Bend.

Nice beach and the sand. Nice place for camping and adventure

Looks great! It's been awhile since we've been camping, but we've been wanting to for the past few years. This place has a ton of nicer additions that places we've camped at before didn't have. The beach is awesome!

Wow... very nice camping area. Love the beautiful nature there.... 🙂🙂

The sunset over lake looks really nice. The beach and colors of the water look great. Very informative video. The tips of poison ivy are important, stay safe everyone.

The time out chair 😆 I would want to stay in a yurt! This park is huge...and offers so much. I of course would enjoy the ice 🍨 cream 😁 The water there is gorgeous 😍 Awww 🦫😁

You almost covered the whole park. 👍plus Grand Bend.

What a nice place to do camping and they are having so many things to offer. Hope your stay would be enough to explore the whole and get the full essence of this place.

As i was watching your video, it reminded me of the different campsites that i visited recently. Pinery Provincial Park looks beautiful and it has all the amenities, and facilities and is full of activities. From dog beaches to trails to fishing areas and a lot more. On top of it the sunset and location were super perfect. Thanks for the lovely video from Grand Bend, Ontario

Happy to share! We really liked this park and had an awesome time there. We can't wait to go back in the future.

That is cool there are dog beaches there! Makes it nice to bring your four legged friend along. And for poison Ivy, I learned the rhyme “leaves of three, let it be”. Maybe that will help!

very informative. I am going with my family and friends group tomorrow.

If you go back, go in July or August, the water is actually warm by then and you'll even get waves if there is some light wind, then its really like the Caribbean. Best beach in Ontario. Great video

I love Pinery! Very few mosquitoes also. It's great.

The Pinery is a wonderful Provincial Park. We've camped there several times, although not for many years. Grand Bend is an enjoyable little town. Very touristy, it reminds me a little bit of Niagara Falls. Lake Huron is SO much different than Lake Ontario here at home in Lakeview (Oshawa). Grand Bend was our first family day trip after things started opening up again back in 2021. I love Ontario's west coast!🙂

Looks like a hawk(?) at 17:07. Maybe a redtail, I'm no bird expert though😀

I was camping a few times back in the day but back in 2015 a co worker said u should try the pinery so me and the wife did and we got the camping bug because of it, now we will be around 30 ontario parks seen by the end of this year, alot of people say if you like pinery then you'll love killbear. I also found presqu'ile to be sorta like the pinery lots of everything to do.. i know you said you will be releasing a video about your trip to grand bend with the food and drinks but I'm hoping we'll you were in port Frank's you stopped at Grogs and ate someone told me to go there and try the pizza and every year when we go to the pinery we stop in for food. We were just there a month ago for the free day use day. Always a joy at the pinery Also on Sundays their is a wicked outdoor market between grand bend and the pinery called the pinery market. Who knows maybe its in your next video . Love the videos and enjoy the rest of your summer..cheers

Thanks so much!! Pinery was amazing and we did Presqu'ile last year but in the off season so I'd like to go back when it's all open. I think I have Killbear for later this summer. And unfortunately we didn't get into Grogs, it was wayyyy too busy when we went so we kept going and found Stonepicker Brewing Company which was a good consolation option 😅

Grand bend as a town kind of sucks it's always busy during the summer and it's difficult to navigate with how many people are there. It's also made more difficult by the one lane of traffic at the intersection of the main drag. If you need groceries you are better off going into forest which is about 20 minutes away and far less busy. The pinery is a great park and shares a border with a huge scout camp called attewanderon

Love the park but so much poison ivy! We had it on our site in Riverside 1, along the entire left side of the trailer and surrounding the path to the hydro pillar. I'm surprised Burley was open, it was still closed a year ago today when we were there. 100% recommend bikes, we biked the entire Savanah trail. Also recommend doing a mid-week trip. We did Thurs to Sun, and by Sat, the ice cream lineup was 20 minutes long and you couldn't rent a kayak/canoe. I also recommend that people switch their phone to 3G service, to better access data. And for really blue water, head to Bruce Peninsula National Park. Your size trailer is perfect for the sites!

There really was a lot of poison ivy. The path to our electrical pedestal was full also, so my hubby plugged us in since I was wearing sandals 🤦‍♀️ I'd love to bring a bike next time. We've been to Bruce Peninsula to the Grotto once but never camping. That would be so fun and our tiny trailer can pretty much fit anywhere 😅 I'm going to have to look into it, think they got a new booking system from what I saw on Facebook.

What a great campsite you found there. The beach looks amazing even with some dunes! I saw a mark that dogs aren't allowed. Are there separate campsites where dogs are allowed? The older comfort stations looked nice as well! Quite some services with a restaurant and a little grocery store. Have a great Sunday!

A video synopsis of the five parks you enjoyed the most would be helpful.

Great suggestion!

It looks like a great park to spend a weekend or even a week. Was it difficult to make reservations? Out here in BC, all of the parks sell out almost as soon as they open for reservations. I'm quite surprised by the color of the lake - it looks like a neat little lakeside town to visit!

The camping spots open up 4-5 months in advance and we just wait to book them. They do not all get sold out immediately, mostly the waterfront ones, electric ones and cabins get booked out very very quickly especially if it’s a very well known/beautiful park closer to Toronto

just watching your video and we are from oshawa and we were at that exact site last year. what are the chances in a huge park like that. looked family so looked it up. we spent a week there but was horrible traffic getting home. took 3 hours just to get to milton and then took 407 fell there. Hubby didn’t think it was worth it

Oh no! That drive sounds awful - traffic can be really unpredictable so I think we lucked in because it was smooth sailing both ways. And yes - such a coincidence about the site - it was a nice one!

What beach # were you standing on in the day use part of the video? We went before and found the beach we went to quite rocky whereas the one you showed looked very sandy!
