Ontario, Chutes Provinical Park

Campground: Chutes Provincial Park

Location: Massy, Ontario

Overall Rating: B-

Setting Rating: B-
(northern forest; located along the Aux Sables River; relatively flat; picturesque waterfall located across from the beach)

Site Rating: B
(large electric and primitive sites; 56 or the 130 sites are electric; water taps evenly spaced; sandy and nicely private sites; trailer dump in park; mostly shaded sites to well sunned sites; mosquitoes can be heavy)

Washroom Rating: C+
(central modern augmented by vault toilets; hot water is solar heated which means the hot water runs out on cloudy and busy days; average cleanliness; modern needed some minor repairs)

Recreation Rating: B
(small playground; hiking trails; fishing; swimming in cool clear river; one can swim to the rocks below the waterfall; sandy beach with some rocks)

Conclusion: This is a lovely campground as a way stop or for two or three quiet days before continuing on a longer journey. No large center is nearby so one needs to bring most of one’s groceries. The mosquitoes are the greatest issue while the picturesque waterfall is the greatest asset.
