Overview
A brief introduction to Pinery Provincial Park
Pinery Provincial Park is a provincial park located on Lake Huron near Grand Bend, Ontario. It occupies an area of 25.32 square kilometres (6,260 acres). It is a natural environment-class Provincial Park created to help preserve oak savannah and the beach dune ecology. It has 1,275 sites of which 404 have electrical hookups. These include the yurt camping area and the group camping sites.
The initial package of land for the park was purchased from the Canada Company in 1957. In 1966, the park saw a 433-acre addition, adding 200 campsites to the park's existing 1,075 to accommodate the growth of the park patronage, which had reached peaks of 1,500 campers per day, causing many to be packed into overflow areas.
Visitors to Pinery Provincial Park may access free wireless internet at the Visitor Centre provided by the Friends of Pinery Park.

Lake Huron getaway
Our favourite place, lots to do, lovely beaches and trails.
Still an excellent park after many years
I have camped at Pinery off and on for 40 years and find the park is still excellent. Staff are friendly and helpful, washrooms are above average as are showers. Of course the lake and beach are fantastic and the river provides excellent canoeing and fishing or kayaking if you’re into that. Campsites are large and for those tenting a lack of hydro is not an issue. There are hydro sites for those who wish to bring their home with them and not really camp.
Rates are low to camp and discounted for those over 65.
I camped in both July and august at Pinery and enjoyed almost every minute except for the rain days 😊
Good place for camping
Good place for camping with friends or family. I went in June 2023 with friends, I have been here before but not with friends. It was everything I could wish for. We were a 5 minute walk from the beach, we could go to town to do whatever we wanted and had some decent weather throughout. Always recommend Pinery. Only draw back is Burley, where we were, was a little far back from the main hub (store, canoe rental, etc) and wifi was non existent in the park except at the hub. Aside from that its a good place to stay for a week
