PINERY PROVINCIAL PARK Camping, Tour & Review | Grand Bend, Ontario

[@Volkoron]

Not gonna lie did not expect to see my local provincial park on a KZbin video today

[@TheCountryCollectors]

I love when you guys camp. You give such a thorough review with so much great info. Love the dunes! The day use areas looked like they were well maintained. Thanks for including the dislikes too!

[@viceva6752]

If someone like camping it looks like a perfect spot. Nice beach, looks very clean. Lots of informations - perfect 👌

[@FrankBullitt390]

If you go back, go in July or August, the water is actually warm by then and you'll even get waves if there is some light wind, then its really like the Caribbean. Best beach in Ontario. Great video

[@MrSujano]

Huuuge fan of Pinery! Awesome park!

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

Another great in depth camping site video! I like this place more than the last one. Much more wooded spots. Spacious enough cap sites but, secluded enough. I love the beach access. This place has an excellent amount of amenities. Cool that they have river side options. Always gotta have a delicious beer. The hiking trails look nice. Another great video.

[@AdventuresOfATravelingDon]

Had to come back for another round.

[@bethtriolet2491]

Been anxiously awaiting this video since spotting you at the pinery. -signed the lady in the background in the store. Keep the videos coming, we love watching them.

[@stephenrasmussen8160]

Looks like a hawk(?) at 17:07. Maybe a redtail, I'm no bird expert though😀

[@paradise-adventures]

The sunset over lake looks really nice. The beach and colors of the water look great. Very informative video. The tips of poison ivy are important, stay safe everyone.

[@traveladvisorak6065]

Every time I see you at a camping site, I start dreaming of going for camping. Not sure when I will be able to plan it though but seeing it from your lens seems like I am already there. Thanks for sharing yet another camping experience.

[@TheAverageTourist]

No time like the present to try it! Are there places you can camp near you? I keep telling everyone to give it a try to be out in nature.

[@TripsCultureTC]

Gorgeous campsite with beautiful beach and dunes. Charming comfort stations, convenient amenities. Enjoy your stay at The Pinery!

[@grandmauti]

PINERY PROVINCIAL PARK is really amazing camping park with a beautiful greenery around, thanks for the tour.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thank you we really enjoyed it there

[@unstoppabledigitaltravelling]

Very beautiful site to camp, you manage to find a great place.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Yes it was!

[@atifhussainarain]

What a nice place to do camping and they are having so many things to offer. Hope your stay would be enough to explore the whole and get the full essence of this place.

[@AndysWorldJourneys]

nice place - love the trail - well i love any trail with a boardwalk! the facilities looks like they are very well maintained too. Clean! Thanks for sharing!

[@rightrecipefortravel]

This looked like a nice camping/winery vacation. Such pretty views.

[@thetravellingwelshman]

This looks like the perfect spot to do some camping for me! Incredible experience my friend!

[@Explorcation]

The time out chair 😆 I would want to stay in a yurt! This park is huge...and offers so much. I of course would enjoy the ice 🍨 cream 😁 The water there is gorgeous 😍 Awww 🦫😁

[@RachaelMartin]

I love a good camping place and this one looks like it has it all! The beach area looks so pretty! Great video! 😀

[@TravellerSB]

Nice beach and the sand. Nice place for camping and adventure

[@TheAverageTourist]

Yes, thank you

[@ChristyEVERS]

you guys have a really nice camping set up! The dunes beach looks beautiful and I love how it doesn't look crowded. Their park store really does look like they have a great variety of things. you're right, the water does look like you're somewhere in the Caribbean! So cool that you saw a beaver swimming. So cute! nice that it's so close to Grand Bend.

[@Migratory-Nerds]

I haven’t been camping since I was a kid! This brings me back. Looks like a great option with good facilities.

[@KitatheExplorer]

That is cool there are dog beaches there! Makes it nice to bring your four legged friend along. And for poison Ivy, I learned the rhyme “leaves of three, let it be”. Maybe that will help!

[@corinnelaking569]

The Pinery is a wonderful Provincial Park. We've camped there several times, although not for many years. Grand Bend is an enjoyable little town. Very touristy, it reminds me a little bit of Niagara Falls. Lake Huron is SO much different than Lake Ontario here at home in Lakeview (Oshawa). Grand Bend was our first family day trip after things started opening up again back in 2021. I love Ontario's west coast!🙂

[@LetsTravelwithDnI]

Wow... very nice camping area. Love the beautiful nature there.... 🙂🙂

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks, we had a great time.

[@tatiandjavitravels]

Wow this is very informative! My first time watching you're video and I love creators that provide information as well... thanks for such a great video!!

[@KayandGogo]

The walks and campsite look beautiful very informative 👌 looks gorgeous sat around the campfire. Nice add the likes and dislike part.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks very much!

[@603travels]

As i was watching your video, it reminded me of the different campsites that i visited recently. Pinery Provincial Park looks beautiful and it has all the amenities, and facilities and is full of activities. From dog beaches to trails to fishing areas and a lot more. On top of it the sunset and location were super perfect. Thanks for the lovely video from Grand Bend, Ontario

[@TheAverageTourist]

Happy to share! We really liked this park and had an awesome time there. We can't wait to go back in the future.

[@traveladvisorak6065]

Came back for the tour again.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks!

[@mnvm-videos]

very informative. I am going with my family and friends group tomorrow.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks! Hope you have a great time!

[@steevehives128]

We really want to go there this summer. Thanks for the info on the park!

[@TheAverageTourist]

Happy to share! Hope you get a site this season. 🤞

[@Volkoron]

Grand bend as a town kind of sucks it's always busy during the summer and it's difficult to navigate with how many people are there. It's also made more difficult by the one lane of traffic at the intersection of the main drag. If you need groceries you are better off going into forest which is about 20 minutes away and far less busy. The pinery is a great park and shares a border with a huge scout camp called attewanderon

[@BashQamar]

You almost covered the whole park. 👍plus Grand Bend.

[@TheAverageTourist]

We tried!! 🤣

[@protic4]

I love Pinery! Very few mosquitoes also. It's great.

[@TheAverageTourist]

It's a lovely park 😊

[@puffysnow8504]

I was camping a few times back in the day but back in 2015 a co worker said u should try the pinery so me and the wife did and we got the camping bug because of it, now we will be around 30 ontario parks seen by the end of this year, alot of people say if you like pinery then you'll love killbear. I also found presqu'ile to be sorta like the pinery lots of everything to do.. i know you said you will be releasing a video about your trip to grand bend with the food and drinks but I'm hoping we'll you were in port Frank's you stopped at Grogs and ate someone told me to go there and try the pizza and every year when we go to the pinery we stop in for food. We were just there a month ago for the free day use day. Always a joy at the pinery Also on Sundays their is a wicked outdoor market between grand bend and the pinery called the pinery market. Who knows maybe its in your next video . Love the videos and enjoy the rest of your summer..cheers

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks so much!! Pinery was amazing and we did Presqu'ile last year but in the off season so I'd like to go back when it's all open. I think I have Killbear for later this summer. And unfortunately we didn't get into Grogs, it was wayyyy too busy when we went so we kept going and found Stonepicker Brewing Company which was a good consolation option 😅

[@Fehrfamilyhomestead]

We are going to the pinery this summer, it will be our first time there. Thanks for the informative video.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Glad to hear it was helpful. Hope you enjoy your camping trip!

[@stephaneleblanc6163]

Awesome video. As we are planning our trip to this park, we really enjoyed your tips. Thank you!

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy your camping trip.

[@paulaharron3645]

Excellent video

[@TheAverageTourist]

Thank you!

[@nutritionperfection]

This is my local provincial park. Love coming here, it's one of the best in the province in my (biased) opinion.

[@daniellehunter5057]

Love the park but so much poison ivy! We had it on our site in Riverside 1, along the entire left side of the trailer and surrounding the path to the hydro pillar. I'm surprised Burley was open, it was still closed a year ago today when we were there. 100% recommend bikes, we biked the entire Savanah trail. Also recommend doing a mid-week trip. We did Thurs to Sun, and by Sat, the ice cream lineup was 20 minutes long and you couldn't rent a kayak/canoe. I also recommend that people switch their phone to 3G service, to better access data. And for really blue water, head to Bruce Peninsula National Park. Your size trailer is perfect for the sites!

[@TheAverageTourist]

There really was a lot of poison ivy. The path to our electrical pedestal was full also, so my hubby plugged us in since I was wearing sandals 🤦‍♀️ I'd love to bring a bike next time. We've been to Bruce Peninsula to the Grotto once but never camping. That would be so fun and our tiny trailer can pretty much fit anywhere 😅 I'm going to have to look into it, think they got a new booking system from what I saw on Facebook.

[@lesserknownadventures]

Looks great! It's been awhile since we've been camping, but we've been wanting to for the past few years. This place has a ton of nicer additions that places we've camped at before didn't have. The beach is awesome!

[@StepsbyKaatje]

What a great campsite you found there. The beach looks amazing even with some dunes! I saw a mark that dogs aren't allowed. Are there separate campsites where dogs are allowed? The older comfort stations looked nice as well! Quite some services with a restaurant and a little grocery store. Have a great Sunday!

[@wrxs1781]

A video synopsis of the five parks you enjoyed the most would be helpful.

[@TheAverageTourist]

Great suggestion!

[@ChristineTurner]

It looks like a great park to spend a weekend or even a week. Was it difficult to make reservations? Out here in BC, all of the parks sell out almost as soon as they open for reservations. I'm quite surprised by the color of the lake - it looks like a neat little lakeside town to visit!

[@clararodrigues2252]

The camping spots open up 4-5 months in advance and we just wait to book them. They do not all get sold out immediately, mostly the waterfront ones, electric ones and cabins get booked out very very quickly especially if it’s a very well known/beautiful park closer to Toronto

[@ldaven1968]

just watching your video and we are from oshawa and we were at that exact site last year. what are the chances in a huge park like that. looked family so looked it up. we spent a week there but was horrible traffic getting home. took 3 hours just to get to milton and then took 407 fell there. Hubby didn’t think it was worth it

[@TheAverageTourist]

Oh no! That drive sounds awful - traffic can be really unpredictable so I think we lucked in because it was smooth sailing both ways. And yes - such a coincidence about the site - it was a nice one!

[@bunnettfamily6325]

What beach # were you standing on in the day use part of the video? We went before and found the beach we went to quite rocky whereas the one you showed looked very sandy!

[@TheAverageTourist]

Pretty sure it was beach 2 in the day use area.

[@bunnettfamily6325]

@@TheAverageTourist thank you for your super quick reply!! We have a week booked this July. We didn’t visit even 1/4 of the park in the 4 nights we stayed last time so your video helped give me ideas on new adventures :)

[@TheAverageTourist]

@bunnettfamily6325 awesome, enjoy it. A week is a great amount of time at this park.

[@youngjukim9270]

Hello, we booked a campsite at burley campground this weeeknd. I was wondering how poison ivy situation in that area. Since we are going with 3 kids(one being a toddler) we are concerned

[@TheAverageTourist]

There is lots of poison ivy around so make sure to be aware of the surroundings. We had it on the perimeter of our site and had to walk through it to get to our site electrical post.

[@youngjukim9270]

@@TheAverageTourist Thanks for letting us know. We got to change our site to Inverhuron instead. Hope you guys will be enjoying the weather this weekend too! Happy camping!

what a coincidence im three bucks a load
