Windy Lake Provincial Park — Attraction in Unorganized North Sudbury

We went for the long weekend. The Yurts were big enough for 6 people but they weren't wiped down. I found dry blood on one of the matreses and when I took a wipe to the bed a whole bunch of dirt wiped off. Now, I'm not a clean freak but come on. The yurts in comparison to the more modern wooden yurts found at MacGregor Point Provincial Park are not as clean. The electric heaters would turn on every hour for 10 minutes in the middle of the night. No option to turn them off if you didn't want heat at night. One common comment to which I agree with is the train that is loud that goes along the park. The mosquitoes and black flies were especially fierce this weekend. So bring bug spray...lots of it. The lots were very private. The beach was very clean with pebbles. Little ones should bring water shoes cuz the sand was very hot. The beach was not crowded considering it was a long weekend. The outhouses near the beach were disgusting. Flushing toilets and an outside shower to rinse the sand off would be great. Wonderful friendly staff. Scenery...

Our family camped for 10 days at the beginning of August. We enjoyed the very large private sites. We stayed in #32, which was a very large site and one of the few that didn't flood during a massive rain storm. It was a bit sunnier than I would of liked, but it wasn't too bad.

The playground in the campground was circa 1980, metal slides, wooden railings; but my kiddos still had fun on it.

Comfort stations definitely need an upgrade. Very old looking with very poor shower heads. However there was always hot water, and they were mostly clean.

I found the "reservable/campers" beach to be a lot nicer than the day use beach. Less big rocks to walk over before you hit a nice sand bottom. The playground at the day use beach was awesome though.

The trail that starts and ends in the campground was more of a moderate hike, than an easy one. A few really steep descents and climbs. However my 5 year old was able to walk it, but someone in less physical shape would...

Writing this review from a campsite in the park. This park has a lot going for it but too many of the facilities are in bad need of a face-lift. Now I'm not expecting an outhouse to be the picture of luxury but there are too many sinks and toilets in this park covered with plastic bags and out of order signs. Ran into some flush toilets that do not flush. Has a small laundromat full of out of order machines. The staff keep things as clean as you would reasonably expect but this park needs some investment.

The beaches are nice and many of the camp sites are well spaced and private. The walk in sites near the waterfront are more private then some of the other parks I have been to but still quite close together. The CP main line runs near the park and there are frequent trains but I did not find highway noise to be much...
