Turkey Point Provincial campground was mentioned in a different thread. They are about the same distance from Simcoe as the Norfolk area and are just a bit pricier.

There is also a campground called The Point, which is about 12 kms from Simcoe, however it is an alternative lifestyle/male only private membership campground. The rates are excellent, but one needs must purchase an annual membership to camp there. Women are only permitted on Family Weekend, and I have no idea when that is.

Turkey Point can be found here:

It still looks like Norfolk Conservation area is the best choice.

You might not want to encourage the Point as its not really what you call a "Family Environment" Seinfeld summed it up pretty well

That's kinda what I was referring to when I said it was an "alternative lifestyle/male only private membership" sorta place. I wish you had been around just prior to my discovering it, so I hadn't discovered it, :wtf:

Thank goodness my discovery was only on the internet. I actually made a reservation and when I got the receipt for 10% down payment, along with all the rules and information that explained why I did NOT wish to honour the reservation, it cost me $12 to cancel... so all be warned. Read ALL the tabs on the site before deciding to reserve a camp site at any and all campgrounds. I did not think myself naive, but I got a lesson.

I am privately camping at a friends place in Port Dover, so I am not able to share a site, sorry. Probably should change my name to local as opposed to camping as I will not be in a campground. We shall see how that works out

The only time I recall seeing reservation surcharges are at government campgrounds.

Norfolk is a government campground. Ergo, the surcharges. Rip off central.
