    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.

    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

    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.

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

    • @CampingwiththeColes
      @CampingwiththeColes  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    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!

    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

    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.

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!!

    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
      @CampingwiththeColes  ปีที่แล้ว

      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.
