A provincial park campground in Ontario within walking distance of Outlet Beach, with clean comfort stations, reasonably private sites and friendly staff. No electrical sites, and only one car per site.
Cedars Campground is a provincial park campground a short walk from Outlet Beach, and the beach is the main reason people book. Reviewers describe great water views and a good swimming area, and the nearby sand dunes are well worth a visit on a hot day.
Sites don't have electricity. There's a comfort station with showers, laundry and washrooms, and several campers say staff clean it often and it's well equipped, even with electrical outlets. Sites are generally called reasonably private and well sheltered, though some are small and close together. Staff get praise for being friendly.
It suits tent-camping families who want to walk to the beach. Paddlers and anglers can head out on the Outlet River, and a canoe and kayak rental centre also rents fishing rods. There isn't much in the way of organised activities for kids.
Only one car can park on each site, and extra vehicles go to a lot that's a fair walk from most sites, which frustrated one group travelling in two cars. Reservations open five months ahead, as with other Ontario provincial parks, so plan early to get the site you want. Bring water if you're heading into the dunes.
