Brookside Beach

Will avoid at all cost for Future travels. When I arrived, this was nothing to my expectations or like the pictures on the website, very misleading. While the park itself had moments of peace, it came with its own chaos. The sites are very muddy, unlevel, and rv’s are closely placed together. E year full time RV owner with past seasonal experience. I had issues booking the stay (due to not knowing when the park was actually opening from the winter mess it left behind) with pre arrival complications and multiple disagreements with the owner and grounds keeper during my stay. The two who run this park (owner/tenant friend) are 80, have weak health, and one has dementia. Also had issues during and post stay with the groundskeeper knocking on my door all hours of the day to tell me things he’s told me prior. Both try to run the park independently and contraindicate each other with what they’ve told rv owners and the park “rules”. I’ve been to many resorts as well as many private owned parks and this one takes first place for the worst I’ve stayed at. Including parking, management and communication. The owner is a business man and all about numbers but has no return on investment put back into the business/park itself. Sewer and water lines are randomly placed and rigged up, including electric hook ups. Very nosey, and back yard like set ups for the sites. Parking, not allowed at your rv because of the “grassy” area yet has you park approx 200 foot facing the pond, on the grassiest area of all. I’ve came to my tow vehicle multiple times to find geese perching and pooting up the truck. The beach that is boasted has horrible access and has trash all over it to include tire rims/old rusted up fire pits, dead/washed up tree trunks/limbs, very rocky, few sand areas to sit and enjoy. For the seasonal price, I found other places that do not have beach access but are nicer and cheaper. Also, you have to maintain your own lawn (mowing) while lodging here which is not disclosed until after you’ve paid, signed, and parked. The entry “gate” is the house driveway in which the owner resides in, and will watch for your tow vehicle to come and go to flag you down upon entry/exit. So keep the doors locked, windows up, and keep driving to the next park, you’ll have a happier stay.

We have been at Brookside Beach for several weeks and we absolutely love having a home base to reconnect with relatives and friends. We also love spending time on the private beach and of course picking lake glass. The sound of the waves lull us to sleep. Quite, serene home away from home!💖💖💖🌞 🌞😎🐟🚤⛵🔥🌈🌊

We recently stayed here as a weekend getaway. The people were friendly and the private beach was wonderful. If you crave activities, perhaps this isn't the campground for you, but it is very peaceful and beautiful.

I'd say it's more for order retired people. I say that because there's no trials are playgrounds or anything like that . They're public restroom has been closed down since covid. But they do have some amazing views of the lake and Canadas skyline. It's definitely not a place to bring your family for the summer or have family cookout or anything in that sense.

Beautiful spot. Secluded beach. Love my time here 💗
