Overview
A brief introduction to Bruce Peninsula National Park
Bruce Peninsula National Park is a national park on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, Canada. Located on a part of the Niagara Escarpment, the park comprises 156 square kilometres and is one of the largest protected areas in southern Ontario, forming the core of UNESCO's Niagara Escarpment World Biosphere Reserve. It was established in 1987 to protect the rock formations and shoreline of the Niagara Escarpment. The park offers opportunities for many outdoor activities, including hiking, camping, boating, and bird watching. The park has trails ranging in difficulty from easy to expert, and connects to the Bruce Trail. Bruce Peninsula National Park is known for its crystal clear blue waters, cobblestone beaches, rocky cliffs and karst formations.
The park is open year-round and offers visitors vistas to view either the sunrise or sunset, the rocks of the Niagara Escarpment, and the wildlife, which includes black bear, many species of birds, wild orchids, massasauga rattlesnake, and much more.
The park was the subject of a short film in 2011's National Parks Project, directed by Daniel Cockburn and scored by John K. Samson, Christine Fellows and Sandro Perri.
The Bruce Peninsula National Park has a weather and tourist information station CBPS-FM which operates at 90.7 FM. The station was launched in the mid-1990s.

Camper reviews for Bruce Peninsula National Park
So much to see !
We stayed at the Birches Campsite in early June 2023, thanks to Campnab for securing our coveted camping spot. Our first visit was to the 'Grotto' and easy 45 min hike from our campsite to this picturesque spot right on the Georgian Bay. We timed our hike to avoid the midday crowds.
The following day we booked a 3 hr boat trip from the seaside town of Tobermory to Flower Pot island. Again, more hiking and sightseeing along the island trail to the Lightstation Museum. On the return trip our glass bottom boat allowed you to see the numerous shipwrecks close to land.
The visitors center at Bruce Peninsula National Park was very informative, again with lots of easy hikes surrounding the center.
Finally our dog loved running on SInging Sands Beach on an overcast and windy day.
A great park with lots to do and see !

Precious Yurt
first of all, it would be impossible to book the yurt without campnab, with only 10 yurts in Bruce. I booked the moment I got text message then luckily I got it!! Can't believe my eyes, we tried to book this one for years..
The park is just wonderful, with the cave, trail and everything, staying in the yurt make it perfect, a must go!!
