Awenda Provincial Park — Attraction in Tiny

The beaches are beautiful- crystal clear water, super soft sand with just the right amount of boulders to keep it interesting- a mask and snorkel would have been great to bring. A trail in the woods on the shore of beach 4 would be nice (this would help with getting around when the water level is high and right to the forest edge like it was on my trip here) and a trail leading from Wolf campground to beach 4 also- distances between the campground and beaches are too far to walk, and almost too far to bike (6.2km from Wolf to beach 4 by bike when beach 4 is actually only a few hundred metres away) especially considering the ascent/descent of the bluff.

Dog owners would like it here- a large dog beach is great for the furry friends. While there will be mixed opinions on this, there is no cell service in most of the campground- you can get service at the beaches though.

Almost no mosquitoes which is great- although I'd prefer those to the massive infestation of moths- they like to lay eggs on your everything making for some extra tent washing when you get home again. While this is out of the campgrounds control, it still does affect your enjoyment.

Lots of easy biking trails, more than enough to keep most trail and XC mountain bikers satisfied with some fun downhills; I rode about 15-20km/day in the park.

Campsites themselves offer almost no privacy- mostly due to the leafy forest being eaten up by the moths I'd imagine. The fire pits on the campsites have high walls which is great for safety, but does block some of the views of the fire and heat coming from them.. but this may be a small nitpicky preference.

Overall, the park itself is pleasant, although not all that striking or memorable.. but the moth infestation will keep me from...

Stayed at Awenda Provincial Park for 5 nights just this past week. First time at this park & we were impressed, to say the least! Reminded us of Arrowhead, where some of the sites are very private and some are a little more open but all in all good sites. Our site in the Wolf campground was awesome! We felt as if we were all alone...minus hearing kids at other sites playing lol! It rained a couple of days and our site had no puddles or pooling of water. If you are camping end of August or fall watch out for the acorns! They do fall often from the trees, no one got hurt but we did get startled a few time at night. The park is bigger than what it seemed, lots of trails that are multi-use (bike/hike) which we love. You have to drive to the beach, no doubt about it, but there is plenty of parking (labelled areas). Be sure to bring your water shoes, beach 1 & 2 were rocky with pebbles. Unsure about beach 3 & 4 since we had our dogs couldn't t go beyond beach 2. Beach 2 is the dog beach where it is leashed but many dogs were off leash. Even when you do park to go to the beach there is still a bit of a walk to beach 3 & 4. You can also canoe or kayak in Kettle, rentals are available. Unlike Presqu'ile Provincial Park, Awenda has plenty of comfort stations between the different campgrounds and plenty of water taps and outhouses. Park is close to Penetanguishene & Midland, so easy to grab necessities if you forget any. We are definitely planning to go back for our 2024 season, it is a beautiful park on Georgian Bay and definitely on our top 3 of...

We just spent 5 nights at Awenda and enjoyed our time there. Loved all of the trees and the beaches are gorgeous! Our little dog appreciated that they had a dog beach! As others mentioned everything is far away. We camped in a motor home and towed my car. Good thing, as the beaches were at least a 10 minute drive from our campsite. The reason I'm marking it down is the electrical hookup situation. We've been rv-ers for over 17 years, and have camped at hundreds of different campgrounds all over the US (where we're from) and Canada. NEVER have we seen the electrical hookup at the FRONT of the site, near the roadway! Thankfully we have very long extension cords, other wise there's no way we would have been able to hook up to the electric. Most sites are very long, but with the electric being at the front, you can't park near the back of your site and still hook up, unless you have multiple very, very long cords. And it's a shared hook up between you and the next site. Whoever designed this must have never camped in their lives, they obviously were just trying to save time and money putting the electrical posts near the road! One more thing, as many have mentioned, you will not get cell or wifi signals at the park, though if you're lucky you'll get a signal...
