There are few choices for camping in Toronto and that's a problem. This campground is disgusting. There's garbage everywhere. The washrooms are dirty. Weeds are growing out of control. The wi-fi is slow, slow, slow. The staff doesn't know how to use the reservation system. There are abandoned trailers parked at the playground. I talked to the manager about the problems. He said he just hired someone to get the campground back on track. Let's hope they can turn it around. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is located next to a rail line and below the flight path for Toronto International. We extended our stay and the price fluctuates depending on who is at the desk. The campground is flat with few trees. I would however stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is not near Toronto! It is a 45 minute subway ride - longer by car. The neighborhood does not look nice, neither did the campground. We had a reservation but when we got there and saw the place, we cancelled! I do not recommend this place. Go to Glen Rouge on the east side of Toronto. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The Good: 99% of the staff are very nice, but most are schoolkids. It's located close to all the highways and is next door to Wild Water Kingdom. The Bad: The washrooms were disgusting, with no seats or anywhere to put your clothes in the ladies showers. The entire two weeks we were here, there was a pull tab in the shower under the black mat that you stand on, and a tampon in the ladies shower. Wireless Internet was horrible. The speed was worse than dial-up and that's if you can get it at all from your site. They appear to let anyone into this park. There were trailers held together with duct tape and Saran wrap, and untidy sites from seasonal campers. There was no privacy: kids and people walked through your site all the time. Appears to be some rules, but they do not appear to be enforced at all. The laundry room has no sink or anywhere to clean up. The swimming pool is full of kids all day long with no room or time allocated for an adult swim. Dogs are allowed to walk anywhere in the park and some owners don't bother to pick up their mess. There are no arranged activities. If you enjoy camping in a field in the middle of town and don't mind using filthy washrooms: this is the place for you. We wouldn't come back here if you paid us. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a terrible campground it is right next to a train track that had 200 car trains passing every few hours day and night. The bathrooms were disgusting someone actually crapped in one of the showers, probably because the toilets stalls were all covered in it. All the shower stalls have the push button thing which gives you about 15 seconds of water, makes it hard to take a shower. I would strongly recommend you not stay at this campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Big park with lots of grass, right on the river. The bathrooms have push-button showers and not too many of them; they were older buildings but the fixtures were fairly new. If you drive about 20 minutes you can take the subway into the city from the Yorkdale Mall; it's a bargain on weekends. Small store, library. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not many shaded sites.Trees that are on the property are small to medium sized. Poorly kept sites by many "permanent" campers. Nice pool but weedy garden in pool area not kept up. Fire pit is just a hole in the ground with a metal grate. Planes, trains and automobiles go by constantly- you can hear the highway and the train tracks are right next to the campground. The reservoir is a pretty overlook but for only a few of the tent sites. Nice hill next to tent sites provides an overlook of the water. Many ugly vacant old campers just lying together apparently for sale next to playground. Only the last shower is one that will stay on and provide hot water. The other showers were timed push buttons and were lukewarm. Campground is located right next to a water slide park. We camped here in a Tent.
