Holiday Beach Conservation Area - Members Campground

Stopped by Holiday Beach for a visit. Just a heads up, it's part of a conservation area, so you'll need to pay $12 for a day pass. We attempted to walk the non-existent trails along the marsh up to the Hawk Tower. Although the trails were disappointing, the tower itself is worth a visit if you’re into bird watching. The marsh below also looks like it could be a decent fishing spot. The beach, at... Stopped by Holiday Beach for a visit. Just a heads up, it's part of a conservation area, so you'll need to pay $12 for a day pass. We attempted to walk the non-existent trails along the marsh up to the Hawk Tower. Although the trails were disappointing, the tower itself is worth a visit if you’re into bird watching. The marsh below also looks like it could be a decent fishing spot. The beach, at first glance, appears nice, it’s a reasonably sized & looks clean, but once you get in the water, you quickly realize it's only rocks and clay underfoot. This could be an issue if your kids if you don’t have water shoes. The water is extremely murky, so if you drop something, you’ll have a hard time finding it. The sand is fine for building sandcastles and soaking up the sun, but the water isn’t ideal. Depending on your desperation, you might tolerate the rocks and clay. Overall, this is one of the least impressive conservation areas under the Ontario Parks umbrella. Twelve dollars for almost no trails and a small beach with murky, rocky water doesn't feel worth it. I won’t be returning.

We are seasonal campers. Although we haven't had the chance to fully enjoy much time out there, we do love being there, when we can. The beach itself, is very well maintained, the staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the public restrooms are actually kept immaculate. The grounds are kept beautifully, and most visitors seem to respect the conservation area. It's a beautiful place, that needs... We are seasonal campers.

I always look forward to any time I get to spend out there!
