Located on Georgian Bay Killbear has rocky shorelines with miles and miles of sandy beaches. The beach and swimming areas are definitely the main attraction. The water is clean, calm and shallow; great for families and little children. The campsites along the beach are at premium rates and feature stunning views of the Georgian Bay shoreline and sunsets. These book up fast! Killbear is a huge campground with over 1400 campsites! Most campsites are non-electrical. Roughly 300 are electrical and book up right away, five months to the day.
For the most part Killbear's campsites are very close together and lack privacy. Worsening matters, in the fall of 2012, Killbear Provincial Park was forced to cut down thousands of American beech trees infected with beech bark disease. Fortunately, the beach and all of the hiking & biking trails (over 6 km) make up for the lack of privacy at the campsites. The wildlife viewing is also plentiful. Most people see a bear each visit. We had a doe come visit our camp. A perfectly clean campsite is definately essential in this bear country.
We have found a gem at Killbear, site 37 which is not electrical but has "good" privacy, is close to the flushing toilet, water tap and is a 30 second walk to the beach.
Killbear gets a Thumbs UP for family camping.
