The best camping near MacGregor Point Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

At the southwestern base of the Bruce Peninsula, MacGregor Point Provincial Park offers visitors long walks along the lakeshore, looped hiking trails, and an opportunity for winter camping and activities. Easy to reach from Kitchener-Waterloo, Guelph, and London, MacGregor Point is a haven for birders, who arrive to catch the migrations in spring and fall, and admire the wetland birds all summer long.

Notable campgrounds

Best for sunsets: Algonquin Campground features a short trail to Sunset Point, where you can watch the day disappear over the horizon of Lake Huron.
Best for hikers: Huron Campground is closest to the two looped hiking trails: the Lake Ridge Trail (2.5 hours) and the Tower Trail (1.5 hours), which is partly wheelchair accessible.
Best for swimmers: Nippissing Campground is right near Camper’s Beach and features a handful of double sites for larger families.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Bookings can be made online or by phone through Ontario Parks.
The park has a limited number of wheelchair-accessible campsites.
Unlike many parks, MacGregor Point has busy times in spring and fall because of the bird migrations. Unless you’re visiting in winter, it’s best to book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Staying in one of the 16 year-round yurts makes winter camping easier. These structures can sleep up to six people.

When to go

While most Ontario parks shut down over winter, there are great reasons to stay at MacGregor Point at any time of year. Spring and fall are best for birders and those who enjoy hiking in cooler weather; summer is best for swimming and sun-worship on the beach; and winter is ideal for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and skating. Visiting in different seasons is like experiencing a whole new park.

Know before you go

Every spring the park hosts the Huron Fringe Birding Festival. Book early if you want a spot during the festival.
There is a dog exercise area at each end of the park on the waterfront so that your pups can enjoy the water too.
Winter camping is a big attraction, with cross-country skiing, snow-shoeing, and even a skating trail.
On the weekend after Thanksgiving Monday, the park holds a “Witches in the Woods” celebration. Campers decorate their sites, trick or treat, and enjoy the fall colours.
