S05E02 Point Farms Provincial Park Review

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Cell Phone Service: Bell, Telus, Koodo, Virgin Mobile, Rogers & Fido - cell service was poor. Lots of buffering. Very unreliable. Texting and phone calls worked. Best service is at the beach. Free Wi-Fi at the office. If you've been to this park please let us know your experience with cell service, especially if your with a service provider different from the ones mentioned.

[@gogozy1]

thank for the review, it's good to know they have a sandy beach for dogs!!

[@stevetodd100]

great video; we will have to go to Point Farms soon; I love the Goderich area and Lake Huron in general. Thanks for using my song for "Cheryl's Loo Review!" Love the animation.

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Thanks for making the new Loo Review song for us. We'll have to have another campfire sing along.

[@daveloral8449]

I just want to say I love your content! I watched a while back, but life got busy and I wasn’t able to watch much. I currently work at Charleston Lake Provincial Park, and a visitor said they wanted to visit the park because of you guys! It’s so cool to see you guys inspiring people to visit our wonderful parks! If you guys are ever around CLPP, definitely stop by!

[@CampingwiththeColes]

We really liked Charleston Lake. I'm sure we'll be back at some point. We'll look you up if we do.

[@shewolfmountain]

Wow, beautiful sign!

[@suezaple4950]

well ive been to goderich fishing a number of time's an to eat , but never checked out point farms, now I shall have to I liked it. Thanks folks. loved the sights and yes the sunsets are awesome on huron. Love your dogs soooo stinking cute ,

[@wendingourway]

Wow, what a special new sign! I'd like nothing more than to get a little class b and tour around NS with Otis...just for the memories. Such a great park with some wonderful facilities and surrounding areas. Quite the perfect family get-away! Thanks for sharing! Bruce and Otis

[@mariagarito]

I’m looking for a Class B too! Man are the expensive. Good luck on your hunt for one.

[@trudycrebo8039]

You guys are awesome! We love your videos! Keep it up!!! 🤗😘

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@devintimmins-litt748]

Love the videos, I hope one day to run into you guys while you're out camping. My wife and I always go to McGregor Point on the weekend before May2-4 and go birding, looks like it was just as lovely south of us too

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Maybe one day!

[@nikeld9463]

Thanks for always making great content 👍🏿

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Thanks for watching.

[@user-vi1jt7ho3e]

Thanks for the great visit and review! So glad you showed sweet Kingston today! I have been wondering about him too! Too bad for truck troubles! What a hassel! I think most of us have some inconvenient stories to tell on our camping trips, but it doesn't keep us from our next adventure! Keep On Trucking!

[@CampingwiththeColes]

You're absolutely right. You just have to roll with the punches. A broken down truck doesn't slow us down.

[@fromnorthtoneverland]

Love the new sign that is soo nice! I didn't realize all the stuff in the area to do. Thanks for sharing.

[@daynadalrymple9475]

Glad you guys liked the cookies! I’m happy they tasted okay too. Love the video! :)

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Hey! Those cookies were so good! We are going to Rock Point with your parents next!! Lol! 😉😉😉😁😁

[@davidabreu1718]

really enjoyed the stories of the sign, happy camping and have a great weekend guys :)

[@joshuaivanbonilla7567]

Wow amazing video! I'm glad I stumbled upon these. Heading to Point farms in September 🎉

[@CampingwiththeColes]

@@joshuaivanbonilla7567 we're glad you found us. Lots of park reviews for you to check out.

[@dyakejake]

it was nice meeting you guys there, and thank you for the sticker and magnet. your videos are very informative.

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Nice meeting you too. Have a great summer.

[@lornabruce6542]

Great idea for PF to post a park map near the trails. Another awesome video Coles!

[@Kerry6691]

We are here now, absolutely loving it! Was hoping to run into you guys in person. We really enjoy your videos 😊

[@CampingwiththeColes]

We'll probably run into either somewhere sometime. We're meeting so many people in the parks these days.

[@Kerry6691]

@@CampingwiththeColes I was talking to my neighbors in Stoney Creek...they are doing your lake superior trip in August.. they are big fans of your channel too. We are staying in Huron loop at site 16...3 big tents and a kitchen tent ⛺ the beach is one of the best we've been on in Ontario, water still really cold 🥶 tho. Glad you guys sorted out your truck issues, what a bummer. Better it happen here close to home vs on your Texas trip! Cheers 🇨🇦

[@karlmopete]

Another good video folks. We camped May 24 weekend at Inverhuron and I’m with you it was cold.

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Luckily it warmed up nicely and we were able to hang out a bit at the beach. Hope you had a good time at Inverhuron. We did the May 24 there last year.

[@darinculbert8933]

Just wanna add a comment I watched your Video. On point farms provincial Park. In Goderich and you went into a bakery called Culbert's bakery .my family owned the bakery for 80 years i just sold it in oct of 2022 the black and white pictures.on the wall was my grandfatheri worked there for 44 years. Just thought I'd share this with you

[@CampingwiththeColes]

That's amazing. Thanks for sharing. Friends told us that we had to go there for the famous cream puff. They got us a couple one morning and they were great! I hope the new owner keeps up the great reputation that you spent so many years building.

[@kevin8274]

We were there from monday to thursday that week and wish we had the gloves and hats😂. Kids had a blast on the monday in the little stream at 15:14. Again great review! Looking forward to the next.

[@robdellacroce7295]

Hi Cheryl and Ben. Friends of ours met you out there (DeBurgers from Guelph). You gave them a sticker to pass onto me, thank you! My wife and i enjoy camping with our 4 children and we enjoy your videos! Have a great summer! The Della Croce’s!

[@CampingwiththeColes]

I guess we'll have to meet you out there somewhere and give you stickers to pass onto someone else.

[@rodvans6008]

I have been going to this park for 25 years. It's absolutely beautiful. Heading back there in 9 days. It was the qeen that said Godrich was "the prettiest town in canada"! Hope to see you there sometime.

[@CampingwiththeColes]

It really is the prettiest town.

[@mbirch1593]

We were out at the same time, but we were up at Rock Lake in Algonquin. It was cold up there as well, but beautiful.

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Nothing beats Algonquin!

[@annapacheco5996]

Another great one guys. Congratulations on 10,000 subscribers you guys deserve it 🎉

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Thanks so much! We can't believe we have that many people following us. We're just doing what we love to do.

[@esthers5772]

So much excitement. Glad it all worked out. Shame on that Ford dealer for not helping you out.

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Yeah, we were surprised at the lack of service at the local Ford dealership.

[@sheilamatthews135]

Nice running into you at the Farmer’s Market!! It was the first one of the year… all the town folk love meeting up on “The Square” and purchasing fruits and vegetables and yummy baked goods!! You went to Culbert’s and didn’t get a famous cream puff?! Lol!! Next time… 😂 they’re amazing!! And the old Salty is great for fish and chips!! Hope you had a wonderful stay and enjoyed our pretty little town!! Perhaps our paths will cross again sometime!! ❤

[@CampingwiththeColes]

It was nice meeting you too. Thanks for the insider tips on things to do in Goderich.

[@x8xamandax8x]

I saw you guys at the beach but didn't want to hi 😅 only came to point farms cause of you guys. I loved it there. Would go again for sure

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Glad you liked it. You should have stopped and said hi. Maybe next time.

[@blsanto1136]

Great review once again! Glad to see you got your truck fixed. Keep on reviewing 😊

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Thanks. A broken down truck can't slow us down 👍

[@blsanto1136]

Hasn't slowed us down either! Take it as it comes!

[@HANDYMANDAN51]

Another great video, coincidentally our ford expedition did the same thing when we stopped to register at Charleson Lake PP last summer.

[@CampingwiththeColes]

That was the first time and hopefully the last time for me. 🤞

[@johnbaxter6313]

Great to see the beach is back! Have to put this park back on our repeat list. Thanks

[@CampingwiththeColes]

We were so happy to see the beach as it is now.

[@gnucci3958]

Great video guys! Going here on June 16 for 2 days

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Have a great time!

[@Joeljdwatts]

Saw it coming that the Ram saved the day! :) Glad you got out ok.

[@CampingwiththeColes]

LOL

[@dianeallengame2248]

We were in MacGregor on May 17th - I have never been so cold whilst camping. Winter coats for sure. So glad it has warmed up!

[@CampingwiththeColes]

The last two days were real cookers but it's a beautiful and comfortable temperature now.

[@camper69]

Goderich is a great small town. It is where the 'Sun sets twice" I was at Point Farms back in the 1990's. The park staff made it known that we were not welcome since we were not a family with children. Have not been back since. I may have to give it a try again. Thanks for the review.

[@CampingwiththeColes]

I think a lot has changed since that time. I think they're pretty welcoming to everyone now.

[@didaskalos2007]

Great video! We'll be at PF next week. What were the songs in this?

Have a great time.

[@meganmihic2721]

Great video! Do you know if all the group sites can access the comfort station you mentioned near site 402? Also, is this comfort station close to the other group sites? I'm about to head to site 407, and some of my guests won't want to use only the vault toilets. Thanks! 😊

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Yes, I'm pretty sure everyone at the group sites can access that comfort station.

[@secordman]

I remember Bayfield in 2019, there was no beach at all. Same with Wasaga.

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Yes, it's soooo much better now.

[@kevin8274]

The huron historic gaol + museaum are also great places to check out

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Great suggestion! They were on our to-do list but we never made it because of our truck trouble.

[@muzakmike]

Blew a power steering line pulling into our spot as we arrived. So stressful!!! It was repaired just in time to head home.

[@davidlyon2927]

I hope your camp site isn’t in hilltop camp grounds because all you’ll hear is 401 traffic and trains . That was the mistake we made last year, although the campsite we had was a very nice shady site and was cool in the heat wave that we were experiencing then 30 plus degrees during the day. If we go again we will try to get a site in either lakeside or cliff side campgrounds. We love your video reviews and have watched every one of them. 👍🇨🇦

[@CampingwiththeColes]

We lucked out with a nice site in Lakeside.

[@davidlyon2927]

@@jordanmaynard5785 I take it you’ve never been to Darlington Provincial Park or you would know it is right next to the CN track corridor and the 401 less than a kilometre away.

[@mikerowe9061]

They wern't reviewing Darlington! Did you pay any attention at all?

[@paulmaure4470]

You must have a fair number of kilometers on your truck now. Great video.

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Just over 100,000. Mostly used for camping.

[@matthewgockiewicz6760]

Wow, thats weird, last year the beach has 0 rocks, and now its covered. Thanks Mother nature.

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Sure beats the missing beach from 2019!

[@colleens.2541]

Why is the cell service so bad at that side of Lake Huron. It is great at northern Lake Huron PP. So annoying

[@kaylaburns1012]

I find if you have to spend time in town, the park is boring.

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Sometimes that's the case. Other times it's just fun to explore the area around the park too, to do something other than traditional camping things.

[@davidbrown3572]

Great video. Curious how you managed to book 8 campsites for 8 families on a Holiday weekend at that? I have a hard time just getting 1.

[@CampingwiththeColes]

Point Farms isn't a real popular park. We discussed beforehand what sites we'd each try for. Each family went online at exactly 5 months before the date. Several of us went on the Wednesday, which was much easier to book. Told the rest our site numbers and the rest booked their sites with some coming Thursday and some on Friday. We were fortunate enough to get sites in two clusters so everyone was near someone we knew. No one overbooked then cancelled. We all camped for the dates we reserved. It worked out very well. We could never have done it at a more popular park.
