Though most of the sites are quite small, but Site 54 was massive in comparison. It also had a path that branched off the back of it, with a direct route to the beach.The beach is small, but so is the total park capacity, so it wasn't crowded at all. The lake is quiet and beautiful.The mosquitoes were only bad in the morning cooking breakfast.The park rangers were strict, but fair and just.Would recommend the regular sites for no more than 4 people max.Some of the other sites at the park lack privacy, and are open to the road beside it; site 55 is a small site with full privacy.Overall, a very enjoyable camping trip/campground.

The park is small and the campsite has a nice, intimate laid back feel to it. Ontario Parks provides pics and privacy and quality ratings on their website for all parks. Go by the ratings more than the pics as the pics don't capture how close some of the sites actually are. Ours was average rating and it was definitely average. But the park and facilities were well maintained and it had a pretty decent sized beach for a small park. We rented a canoe and had a very nice paddle but the lake is pretty small and is very developed with lots of cottages. One thing I didn't like was people setting off fireworks at night around the lake. Not sure if it was just because it was a long weekend ( August ) or is a regular occurrence as there's a store that sells fireworks outside the park! So not exactly peaceful.

Spent a 3 day weekend July 25-27, 2014 at this park for the first time. Our campsite was quite small however it was adjacent to the lake so we found it enjoyable. What wasn't so much fun was the constant motor boat traffic on the water all day. Water skiing, wakeboarding and tubing played havoc with our attempts to canoe and fish. I hadn't realized that the provincial park is only a small parcel of land on Lake St. Peter and that the majority of the shoreline is inhabited by cottages.This is a fine location if you have a motorboat however we prefer canoes & kayaks so we won't be returning.

We try to camp here every year. This is one of our favourite park-and-camp sites in Ontario.This is a very small park, feels intimate and very family-friendly. The beach is great, several picnic tables under shaded trees and a nice sand beach. Water was very warm. Canoe rentals available for $17/hr or $24/4hrs or full day. Also kayaks and paddle boats available. Lake is very busy w motorboats.Laundry and shower facilities on site. Outhouses are clean and do not smell and it's a very short walk to any of them on site.We reserve site 29 or 66 every year, small sites for tents only. The perk of these 2 sites is that they back onto the water. Site 66 has its own teeny tiny (4ft wide)sandy beach down a slight incline (path is there)Downside of 66 is in order to sleep in a tent on level ground (other side of site inclines down so if it rained you'd get soaked) you have to pitch the tent on gravel. Bring a raised air bed or lots of padding.

The lake is heavily developed and motor activity can be loud and frequent, and this was during the week in August.The sites are smallish and tightly situated. Most are occupied with monster tents, at times with several, not to mention trailers, dogs and trucks. Not exactly rustic, wilderness camping, but it doesn't aim to be.The beach is very children and family friendly.The unpowered sites came out to almost $50 per nite, facilities were cleaned daily.

We visited Lake St. Peter Provincial Park for the August long weekend. We had one large tent and two small ones, plus a screen tent. Although some of the sites are quite small, ours was not too bad, 22m x 10m. The rectangular shape actually worked quite nicely! We had four young male teens-adults with us. I think due to the smaller size of the park the boys were a little bit bored. The beach by the main parking is quite small, but nice. The water was VERY cold! But we're having a cold summer so likely not typical. The hiking trail just outside the park, while only 4km, has a lot of inclines so it's a good challenge, at least for us parents!The comfort station has obviously been renovated recently, and was very clean.The only issue I have is that dogs are not allowed in the water - there is a launching pad into the lake down the road that we went to a couple of times so the dog got a couple of little swims, but it would be nice if the roped-off swimming areas were opened up for pets.All in all it was very quiet, intimate, and I felt very safe at this park (not a lot of wildlife either). A bit of a drive from Toronto, but it's worth it, I would definitely go here again!
