S05E02 Point Farms Provincial Park Review

We camped at Point Farms Provincial Park from May 17th to the 23rd, 2023. The is our second review of the park. This first one being Season 1, Episode 1 in 2019. At that time the water was high making the beach very small and non existent at some points. But now the beach is back! Along with exploring the park we went to Goderich and visited the Saturday Farmers Market and hiked on the Menesetung bridge. We then grabbed a great fish & chips lunch at the Goderich Harbour Restaurant. Join us as we explore Point Farms and the nearby area.

    Cell Phone Service: Bell, Telus, Koodo, Virgin Mobile, Rogers & Fido - cell service was poor. Lots of buffering. Very unreliable. Texting and phone calls worked. Best service is at the beach. Free Wi-Fi at the office. If you've been to this park please let us know your experience with cell service, especially if your with a service provider different from the ones mentioned.

    I hope your camp site isn’t in hilltop camp grounds because all you’ll hear is 401 traffic and trains . That was the mistake we made last year, although the campsite we had was a very nice shady site and was cool in the heat wave that we were experiencing then 30 plus degrees during the day. If we go again we will try to get a site in either lakeside or cliff side campgrounds. We love your video reviews and have watched every one of them. 👍🇨🇦

    Point Farms isn't a real popular park. We discussed beforehand what sites we'd each try for. Each family went online at exactly 5 months before the date. Several of us went on the Wednesday, which was much easier to book. Told the rest our site numbers and the rest booked their sites with some coming Thursday and some on Friday. We were fortunate enough to get sites in two clusters so everyone was near someone we knew. No one overbooked then cancelled. We all camped for the dates we reserved. It worked out very well. We could never have done it at a more popular park.
