Sibbald Point is only a 45 minute drive from Toronto. It rests at the bottom of Lake Simcoe and is huge, with about 600 campsites. It is also a popular spot for teenagers and rowdy students who want to stay up, yell, scream and drink their face off. The park warden and OPP frequently patrol, scrutinizing campers. Not exactly the peaceful, serene back-to-nature experience you may be looking for. There is a large beach with roofed picnic areas that can be reserved in advance. The beach is super crowded and rocky. The water and shoreline are sludgy & dirty. There is a boat launch and a lot of motorized boat traffic.
I had sworn off ever going again, but my husband and I went for an overnight to do some golfing at Pines of Georgina nearby and were thrilled to discover that Sibbald had opened up a "Trailer Only" section. No rowdy teenagers here!
Overall, I do not recommend this park as a fun, family friendly camping experience. Thumbs down. The only section worth going to is the Trailer Only (500s) Hardwoods Section if you have a trailer.
Campsites 561 or 556 are worth checking out. This is a picture of Site: 561
