This campground has all the required amenities for camping out.  The campground may be a little cramped; there is a lot of socializing available.  As for the beach...worth the stay on Lake Huron, Ontario.

Well it's number one here for a reason...one of the best Shawarma I've ever had, I was repeating garlic for two days afterwards.

Great Lebanese food with a decent price...but do not use the washrooms...the place was a mess.

Stopped here for a breakfast and I must say that the food and service was very good.  They have a fine breakfast selection for all the yuppies in us!

This Provincial Park has all the comfort and amenities available for campers.  As for the park, you must like trains since there is one going nearby the park full throttle and horn a blazing!  Windy Lake however, is a wonder lake for recreational activities such as fishing, swimming, and water sports.

We went there because of a favourite dish, Sesame Chicken.  I didn't have the Sesame Chicken but had a taste of it and liked it.  Instead I had the Ribs (half a rack) and found them to be very tasty...but not as tasty as mine on the BBQ!  Jack Astor's is just another franchise type dining experience.

The service was very enthusiastic and fast!  We were processed through the system as effectively and efficiently as a franchise can be...very predictable.

I had to pull over since the compressor in my truck seized.  I happened to pull into this Midas' driveway.  The shop guru took my truck in and had it repaired within a few hours...I left there satisfied and the climate in my truck was very cooool.   Darn truck parts are very expensive though.

A huge Provincial Park right smack in Ontario within several hours of driving from most cities in the province.  This mega campground is excellent for all camping types.  A must see for all outdoors enthusiasts especially hikers and canoeheads.

The selection of award winning cheeses was readily available from goats, sheep, and cow milks.

We bought a various amount of cheeses, from hard to soft, and the smoked Gouda was the best...very fresh!

Made a pit-stop here with the RV and got to enjoy the ocean while camping.  Definitely will pit-stop here again when passing by.  Next time I am going to have to try the local seafood.
