Fifty Point Conservation Area — Attraction in Hamilton

This is going to be detailed review that might answer your questions! You would need to pay an entrance fee to visit the park (car + amount of people in the car). There is a restaurant, a beach, a pet-friendly beach, a boat launch, a gas dock, a marina, a camping area (for trailers), and lots of picnic areas along with 5 washrooms (some with showers) located around the park. The park gets really busy on the weekends, meaning the picnic tables are first come, first serve. Lots of parking spaces located at the beach. The beach gate access #1 is CLOSED on the weekends but OPENED on the weekdays in the summer - this is for safety reasons, however this would mean that it is not friendly for accessibility. Though, there are still accessible parking spots. BBQ is allowed only at picnic areas. The washrooms are cleaned and restocked throughout the day, though the beach gets messier than usual on the weekends. You can wash the sand off your feet behind the men’s beach washroom. There are no showers in the beach washrooms, however, there are showers at the campgrounds. The Winona pavilion need to be rented out in order to use, or you’ll get kicked out - there are clean porta potties nearby. Fishing is not allowed on the marina dock. You can fish in the pond. Biking/skating is not allowed on the wooden parts of the dock. If you’d like a picnic table moved, you may do so at your own risk. Lastly, CAUTION - there’s a lot of ticks in tall grasses so be aware. This is all I can think of right now, I will edit if there are any more future questions! Also, please give this a like so others will...

Stay Away As a long-time visitor and RV camper to Fifty Point Conservation Area, I know something about the operation here. Although I have previously given glowing reviews for the park, I can now say unequivocally that it's a very poorly run operation. The management, particularly Lindsey Darling and by association, Nancy Arnold and the absentee manager, Rob Howe, have been awful to deal with. Essentially, due to personal circumstances (I have moved out of the province due to high housing costs); I have had to leave my RV and a couple of other vehicles at the storage area longer than expected. They have unilaterally decided to single out my vehicles - although there are many other vehicles in the same storage area not being charged - and are threatening to charge me over $1,300 per month for effectively no value. The storage area is basically an open, unsecured, poorly maintained, parking lot used for no other purpose. Moreover, they are not allowing anyone to look at my property or purchase them without me paying these extortion amounts. Basically, Lindsey Darling and this management crew appear to be running the park as their personal, for profit, fiefdom and the poor students working for them seem to be afraid of them. I encourage everyone to stay away until there is a management shakeup at this location. Valens, for instance, is much better run conservation area that has far better camping and a more scenic location. Also, from experience, Fifty Point Conservation Area is overrun with potentially...

Fifty Point is always a wonderful place in any season with year round seasonal activities. This is our 2nd year purchasing a yearly pass and it's a great bargain, not only for Fifty Point, but also for admission to all Hamilton Conservation areas. Our favorite activity is walking the paths with our Golden Retriever. The paved sections are cleared in winter. Once you become familiar with the various paths, you can choose a route that keeps you in the shade on a hot day and out of the wind on a cold day. The lookouts offer great views of Lake Ontario. There is onsite RV camping with full hookup. There is a well serviced marina and a Greek/Italian restaurant during sailing season. We haven't tried the restaurant yet but have heard positive reviews. There is a beach for people as well as a separate beach for your canine family member. (Be aware that ticks are found here during the warm seasons.) Many wonderful spots for family or large group picnics. For the latter, reservations are recommended. And if you enjoy just kicking back and watching the sailboats and other large watercraft go by, this is your place. Lots more to discover - check out...
