MacGregor Point Provincial Park in Port Elgin, Ontario is a fantastic winter destination that offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to get outside and enjoy the beauty of winter in Canada. As someone who recently visited the park during the winter months, I can say that I was thoroughly impressed with the experience. One of the things that really stood out to me about MacGregor Point Provincial Park in the winter was the stunning natural scenery. The park is situated on the shores of Lake Huron, and during the winter months, the frozen lake creates a beautiful backdrop for all sorts of outdoor activities. From snowshoeing and cross-country skiing to ice skating and tobogganing, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Another highlight of my visit to MacGregor Point Provincial Park was the exceptional facilities that are available. The park has a variety of winterized accommodations, including heated yurts and cabins, which provide a cozy and comfortable base from which to explore the surrounding area. There are also plenty of well-maintained trails and snowshoeing routes, as well as a skating rink and toboggan hill that are perfect for families with children. In summary, if you're looking for a winter getaway that offers natural beauty, great facilities, and a welcoming atmosphere, MacGregor Point Provincial Park in Port Elgin, Ontario is definitely worth checking out. Whether you're an experienced outdoor adventurer or just looking to spend some quality time with family and friends, this park has something for everyone. Highly recommended!

Absolutely beautiful park. The privacy between campsites is really good, you won't have to worry about noise or staring directly into another guest's site. The campsites are generous in size also. Was able to set up a 6 person tent. A changing tent and still have ample space. The trails are lovely and the look out tower is worth seeing. Love the ecological posts for the different fauna and flora pit stops on the trails. The camper's beach is lovely and has a long shallow walk out before you hit deep water. Also, if you don't want to be on the beach with all the other people, there are private secluded beach areas along the shore, you can easily walk to that give you more privacy and where the water is still accessible (But can be supery slippery so caution!). Would recommend renting bikes from the store and going for a ride around; the price is reasonable. Go early so that you can actually secure a bike. The staff we encountered are all lovely and super helpful. This park does have active bears roaming sometimes, but we took the necessary precautions and had no spottings or encounters. My only complaint is that they encourage you to buy wood from the park, but we were sold wet wood that could not burn through or well all the days that we were there.

MacGregor is a decent park, but when compared with something like Inverhuron it just doesn't compete. The sites overall seemed to be more open and less forested (at least in the Nipissing campground), so it's not our preferred setting and most sites didn't have great shade. Seemed like it was almost in more of a marshy area. At our particular site I was surprised how close the fire pit was to the surrounding brush - seemed dangerous. Based on our experience, I would say that comfort stations are not maintained very well in this park. The nearest comfort station to us had two showers out of order and the men's bathroom was out of soap for about 24 hours during our visit. This is in stark contrast to our experience at Inverhuron where the comfort stations were kept immaculate and well-stocked. Walking trails are good and the northern sand beach (the day pass area) was decent - it was nice having a water tap and comfort station right there. The day use area seemed to be missing a picnic area like Inverhuron has. The park store was great and a good place to grab a cool treat. There are plenty of potable water taps throughout the park which was nice; you won't have to walk far to get water regardless of where you're staying. The western-most "dog exercise area" was not great at all. It was incredibly rocky and not at all a beach. Would be dangerous for your pup to go running around the shore there and twist an ankle or worse. Overall it's a decent park, but I think we'll check out other parks in future or go back to Inverhuron.

This is by far one of the nicest provincial parks for families. The park is always clean, the staff are always friendly and helpful, the beach is amazing and there is a playground right beside the beach for the kids to enjoy. This park has really nice trails to hike or bike and aren't aggressively challenging, so good for little ones as well. It can at times get a little windy due to the park being right on Lake Huron, but for the most part the sites are tucked away in the forest and offer fairly decent privacy from others. The sites are decent size, some larger and easier to access than a few interestingly angled sites, but good none the less. The bathrooms were spotless, and the showers were clean and had great water pressure which is always nice. My family and I have been to this park multiple times over the years and I still am so surprised on how nice this park is, how easy it is to get to (we're 2 hrs away) and how beautiful the scenery is. I highly recommend this park to anyone with kids who like to explore, ride bikes and go to the beach. If I could rate it higher than 5 stars I would. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏻🫶🏻

A beautiful, large provincial park on the shore of Lake Huron. Our family stayed in the Algonquin area of the park. We liked the small clover-shaped loop setup for the campground, as it really cut down on traffic flow past our site and allowed our children to have a safe place to ride their bikes without getting lost. We had an accessible yurt with a great covered porch. It was a nice deep site with a good mix of both sun and shade. The large yurt gave us plenty of room for ourselves and four small children. The beach was not huge, but was plenty large enough, and had much more access to sandy beach area than other local beaches, due to the high water levels this year. The children enjoyed the interactive park interpretive centre as well as the easy walking and biking trails. Staff and fellow campers were generally friendly, though we did have a loud neighbour who kept their music on until late at night - it would have been nice if the rangers would have done more drive-throughs after dark to keep that noise level down. We'd definitely recommend this park to others and hope to return again some day.
