Point Farms Provincial Park



 One of my favourite summertime activities is camping.
We normally try to go at least once a summer. 
This summer we have/had 3 camping trips planned to 3 different parks
We are trying to eventually trying to stay at all the different provincial parks in ontario. 
This trip was to point farms provincial park.
We waited until last minute to book the site so we did not have a lot of choices
but the site turned out to be pretty nice
Lots of poison ivy though all around the site and some was almost on the site so that was a downfall

 My favourite parts of camping are campfires and the beach.
Point farms does not sell firewood in the park but you can buy it at a store right outside
It wasn't the greatest wood but it did the trick
 It was really hot and humid so sitting beside the fire was not an option.
We do not have a camp stove so we rely on the fire to cook our food. 
 Corn on the cob is my favourite campfire food
we wrap the corn cobs in foil and put some butter in before sealing the foil up into a neat little packet
you can either put it in the coal or on the grill
I find it burns less on the grill
 At Point Farms, the beach is down this really long staircase.
I walk a lot and thought I was in ok shape
but this staircase proved me wrong. 
I was so winded walking up it, I felt embarrassed


 We stayed in the Huron campground. The staircase brings you down to a pebble beach. 
If you want to check out the actual sand beach you can just walk down the pebble beach and its the next beach over
We hung out on the pebble beach to check out the sunset.

All in all, I enjoyed Point Farms Provincial Park
I did not take any pictures of the sand beach but it is ok. 
The water was cold though. 
The site was really nice. Privacy was good.
We did have to listen to annoying drunk people but thats a possibility anywhere
There is a lot of poison ivy which is a downfall but its ok as long as you stay out of the bushes.
My only real negative comment about the park is that the huron campground only has 1 bathroom.
There are plenty of stalls but only 2 sinks.
It was so crowded at night and in the morning
So if you find yourself near Goderich ON and feel like camping
I think Point Farms is a good choice!
