A quiet, radio-free campground in Awenda Provincial Park in Tiny, ON, with spacious, shaded private sites and a clean comfort station. It's a walk to the beach, and sites can flood in heavy rain.
Bear Campground is one of the campground loops in Awenda Provincial Park, set in a forest of maples, oaks and birch. Reviewers keep coming back to the space and privacy: sites are large and well spread out, some backing onto deep woods, and the canopy shades them fully. It's radio-free, and campers describe it as quiet and peaceful.
The central comfort station has individual hot showers and a laundry room, and it's cleaned often. Vault toilets have running-water sinks and there are plenty of water taps. Staff are friendly, and the park store carries camping supplies, including tarps for rainy days. Firewood is sold separately from check-in, and one camper found it pricey and suggested buying some before you arrive.
The park has beautiful beaches, including a large dog beach, walking and hiking trails and canoe rentals. Rangers run programs for kids and adults, such as campfire stories. It suits tent campers and families who want a proper forest setting.
Bear is a bit far from the beach. Several campers had tents flooded in heavy rain, so pick high ground or bring a tarp and a change of clothes, as the weather by the lake changes quickly. Poison ivy is common, so stay on paths. There's no cell signal. A few older reviews mention rusty fire pits and a comfort station partly out of order.
