Campig in Tobermorry = PURE AWESOMENESS!
We often will even camp a little further south, 30 mins away in Miller Lake where we can be louder and more ridiculous while drinking all night/day w/o worrying about the OPP or easily annoyed "family" campers. And we'll make a ing day of going to Tobermory, taking the trails to the cliffs, or taking the Ferry, whatever.
LOTS to do and see! The cliffs and trails are BEAUTIFUL up there! |

no no. the park was open, it was 2am so the front booth was closed and no way of obtaining the permits. |
there is a simple rule u have to follow next time.
in case u show up at the park after 5 and there's noone at the office to help you, u have to get to the office at 8am in the morning!
Luckily, you ended up getting a parking ticket. The parks management could also give your campsite away to smn else!
always read rules and regulations in order to make ur stay more pleasant.
if anyone is interested in receiving ontario parks guide with genereal info and regulations, feel free to pm me your mailing address. A copy of the Official Road map will be included ;) |

i was just up in Tobermory last weekend and it was spectacular! Mako - it IS in fact known as the canadian scuba diving capital and yes there are numerous shipwrecks around the peninsula.
i was also at the Elora Quarry last weekend and it was great to go swimming there. i don't know about the liquor laws but it seemed like everyone there was drinking including me! :D
if anything, i'd like to go back to the Bruce Peninsula. on the drive up there there are quite a few provincial parks right along the shores of lake huron and they are super nice! on the other hand i would also like to check out algonquin park. i was there in the winter and had a fantastic time. just BEAUTIFUL!!!
if we want to organize a TA camping trip, count me in!
Elora Quarry
unfortunately i don't have pics of Tobermory b/c when we got there it was pouring rain. but i'm going back for another road trip in august to attend a wedding on Manitoulin Island so we'll we passing through Tobermory again to catch the ferry over there. really looking forward to it b/c we didn't have nearly enough time to check out this incredibly gorgeous area.

lol, it would have been hilarious to see them try and move me in the morning when i had already paid for and reserved the site in advance.
i think they should look into changing that rule.
because of my work schedule the only time i could arrive was 2am , how could they expect me to wake up at 7:30 to get to the gates after a heavy night of camping drinking?? id still be too drunk to drive. |

| Sandbanks, Killbear and Tobermory definitly top my list. Sandbanks for the chilling beach atmosphere and the awesome sand dunes. Killbear and Tobermory are both awesome for cliff jumping. Ahhh I'm packing right now. |
