Mixed bag at this park. Beach has lots of grass and resident birds to eat it, but not much sand. They groom the sand but it's still a mess after a full park of visitors. The water was warm and it's shallow for a long way out. Pretty clear, no weeds, but a bit rocky.

The sites are either very nice and private or very much not. The trailer areas have nicer and newer washroom facilities than the tent camping areas. Some sites are very heavily sloped. A lot of the sites have trails leading to comfort stations or the loop trail around the park. The walk to the comfort station on the trails might be a tad slippy in bad weather due to them bring grass and often sloped. There are non beach lake access points frequently around the loop trail. Water taps are only found at the comfort stations.

The park is convenient in that everything is quite close together, even at the farthest away sites the beach/gatehouse is only a short walk.

The dump station almost always had a line up.

The dog park is separate from the regular beach but isn't very large. It's also shared with the boat launch and dock. More than a couple large dogs at once starts to get crowded.

There's not a lot else nearby the park but it's not a far drive to other parks or into orillia.

It's certainly an easy place to camp, nice views from the beach. It really depends on the weather and your...

We booked our site #137 based on the photo of the site on the McRae Point map. It was a full grass site in the photo, we got a full gravel site. Due to rain our site flooded, we had a small pond right at our door. It needed some additional gravel to fill it in. We went to the office at 10 AM and asked if we could borrow a shovel and a rake and we would fill the pond in with gravel from the site. We were told that someone from maintenance would come and do it. We returned to our site at 12 noon and no one had come. We went back to the office and again asked to borrow a shovel and rake so we could fill in the pond. Again we were told someone from maintenance would come and do it and that everyone was busy cleaning the sites of the campers who had left. We told them we were still here!! After a long wait, my husband got a bucket from our trailer and scooped gravel from the areas of our site that had extra gravel and made a rake out of some wood he had. Without doing this we couldn’t get into our trailer. A maintenance person finally showed up late in the afternoon with a rake and did nothing. We have camped many times at McRae Point and the park is getting tired looking. The north camp ground was almost empty. The beach area was a total mess, covered in goose poop and branches. Could use some...
