Great for a full day outing, or just a short excursion, especially if you enjoy the great outdoors. Why not take the whole family?

Looking for a last minute weekend getaway close to home, a friend and I booked a campsite at Darlington Provincial Park in Clarington. We picked a lakefront lot with a view of Lake Ontario. This isn’t the type of “wilderness” camping that I prefer but when you’re looking for simplicity, something like this will do.

We booked here Labour Day weekend while attending another event in the area. We camped at 5 provincial parks over the summer and were equally happy here. The site was large and private (and we quite enjoyed the sound of the train). There are numerous trails that were suitable for biking or walking. Other parks let the grounds and beach 'go' and call it a natural. I quite enjoyed that the beach was groomed. The grass and gardens were well taken care of as well. The bathrooms were clean which is a plus. Staff was friendly and I highly recommend getting an ice cream at the store... you won't be disappointed! Overall a wonderful holiday weekend and a place we would frequent if it weren't 2+ hours from home.

It's a beautiful park. Ample camping bays. The park has a camp store. Nothing much in the store. Camp fire wood is expensive. Bowmanville is just a couple of minutes away. Right on Hwy#2 in Bowmanville is the Bowmanville Mall. There's Metro. You can get all your supplies there. Booking online is more expensive. It's better to call them in advance-it's cheaper I think.

All night train kept everyone awake.(Hilltop location) Lake side & Cliff side might be quieter due to beach sounds...not sure. Beach was the best part & giant ice cream for kids. Going back? I think not.

A nice park overall, very convient when travelling the 401 and you need a place to stop. Good facilities, and the beach of lake Ontario is really nice. Most sites are pretty good and there is a variety to choose from. Nice view of Toronto from a far distance.The only sore spot here is the din from the 401 is always in the background.Good wash-rooms, and are up to date. Good staff too. I would recommend this park to stay at for short to medium stays. Overall rating of 7/10.

Brilliant program, great staff, highly educational and really good value for money.But sadly, a great pity about the roar of traffic and the whistles of trains throughout the night.Ontario Parks put on a great one-night, two day program for newbies to camping. They provide you with just about everything you need, including a tent, screen dining shelter, propane stove, pots and pans, cutlery, crockery, cooler box, ice, fishing lessons and tackle, firewood, air-mattresses - you name it, it's part of the very modest $80 price. The only thing you need to take is food (something cold for lunch the first day and something to cook on your first night and for breakfast the next day).We took the program on 5th Aug - two parents and 12 year-old daughter who had never camped in Canada before. The first morning was excellent, new Coleman tents provided for each group, two very knowledgeable Park Wardens to show us how to put up the tent and dining screen, a short chat on do's and don'ts in the park and when camping in general. They help out if you get yourself in a muddle, like when you try to slide the grey pole into the red colour-coded hoops and your tent looks decidedly wonky!After the tent-erecting and a cold lunch comes arguably the best bit of the program - Fishing!Michael, a very knowledgeable and experienced fisherman and Warden, provides a lesson on fishing do's and don'ts, fish identification, knot tying and practice casting before everyone is allowed to borrow a rod and try their luck in adjoining McLaughlin Bay, a body of water separate from Lake Ontario. A lot of fun and if you're too squeamish to put your own worm on, Michael will keep a very straight face, not roll his eyes and put it on for you! My daughter caught 4 fish on her first try at fishing and is now a committed fisherman - er.. girl. A wonderful experience.Later in the evening we got a short lesson on how to use propane stoves safely, were given our stoves and canisters and turned loose to cook ourselves dinner. Following that and a short lesson in safe fire-lighting, we were given a demonstration on how to light a fire, given our firewood, a fireside treat and bid good night.We were free to stay up as long as we like and a while later, after getting a good fire going and enjoying our treat, fatigue set in (putting up a tent and a screen is hard work if you lead a sedentary lifestyle) and we turned in for the night.Now comes the bad part. The terrible part. During the day, the noise of traffic on the adjoining 401 and the rail-line isn't that noticeable. It's certainly audible but if you're busy doing stuff you hardly notice. The same cannot be said during bedtime when the noise seems to become a solid roar of sound. The road traffic is bad enough but the regular trains trump that noise level every so often. And because of a level crossing on the road to the park, the engine drivers have to use the whistle, and use it they do. The best way to describe our night is a series of short, light naps (not deep sleep because of the traffic noise) between trains. A great pity because the program is great, the staff Kyle and Michael knowledgeable and super-helpful but we had a terrible night.If I had to do it again, I think I'd take along earplugs, a stiff nightcap of the liquid kind or possibly both.

Great private sites. We are koa and good sam members but decided to give ontario parks a go. Awesome campsites that were heavily treed. We stayed in hilltop section. Bathroom and showers were not maintained. Bathroom needs paint and cleaning. Showers were o.k. but were kind of small. Not many childrens programs.Great for campers looking for wilderness feel. I reccomend staying out of hilltop. Train and traffic can be heard. Beach was nice but a lot of alge. Ice cream was a big hit for the kids and my wallet at only 2 dollars for two big scoops.Best campground in the Durham region

Sites are small, camping was not good at all....the trains that toot their horn every 1 hour sounds like it is coming thru your campsite...there were 10 of us none of us will ever come back...so many better parks:-)
