Ontario, Port Burwell Provincial Park

Campground: Port Burwell Provincial Park

Location: Port Burwell, Ontario

Overall Rating: B

Setting Rating: B+
(Situated along the north shore of Lake Erie; wooded and flat campground; farmland throughout the area)

Site Rating: B
(Large dirt and packed sand sites; large sites well spaced; mostly shaded; no pull-thrus or full-service sites; electric and non-electric; most sites allow for a high amount of privacy; water is evenly spaced but at a distance for a small number of sites; good size fire pits)


Washroom Rating: C+(Modern with showers located in the heart of each campground; Each could be enlarged to meet demands in the morning; More could be used as the existing moderns are at a distant from a good number of the non-electric sites; Some pit toilets; average cleanliness)

Recreation Rating: B (An excellent and large sandy beach; Strong undertow; Water is clean; Beach is not near the heart of the campgroundā€¦fair walk or a short drive; Some recreation equipment in the park; Numerous nature trails; Golf courses within ten minute drive)

Conclusion: We visited in 1999. On the whole we have found the Ontario Park system to be a good choice. This is a campground we would be pleased to revisit for a week or more. It is quiet and family orientated. It is not located to high tourist centers and therefore is a great escape from the crowds. Weekends the campground tends to be full, so it is best to reserve your site at least three months in advance.

Port Burwell is absolutely, without doubt, the most beautiful campground in southern ontario. The sites are not sandy, they are packed earth,many with grass,which makes for a much cleaner camping experience ( who wants to spend a week shaking sand out of your shoes??) Sites are also quite large, private, and the newly upgraded washrooms are cleaned very regularly. It is also blissfully quiet. We love it.

Hi this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors
or if you have to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
Any help would be enormously appreciated!
