Bluewater Park Campground
A waterfront municipal campground in South Bruce Peninsula, ON with bay views, friendly staff and overnight security; sites are small and washrooms close at 9 p.m.
What visitors say
Bluewater Park Campground sits on the water with views across the bay, and campers single out the sunrises and sunsets from a campfire. It's open rather than wooded, so it doesn't have the tall-tree feel of Algonquin, but reviewers still call it a lovely spot for family and friends. A shoreline trail loops past the sites and gets steady foot traffic.
Staff and park wardens are described as friendly and welcoming, and a recent visitor noted security on duty through the night. The shower houses are generally clean. Campers who used the bay enjoyed swimming, though the water runs cold.
Recent reviews raise a few consistent issues. The washroom and shower buildings close at 9 p.m., leaving portable toilets overnight, and several guests found those unlit, not cleaned over a weekend and out of toilet paper. Sites are small and not very private; one group had to rent the neighbouring site to fit their tents and couldn't safely have a fire.
Plan around the 9 p.m. washroom closure, bring a headlamp and your own toilet paper, and ask about site size if you have more than one tent. Don't leave valuables in the shower house; one camper's necklace went missing.
