Comments (2005): we have been going to asessippi for 20 years now, it has always been clean and only fishing boats. It is to bad that word has got out, because now it is awful. Sea doos are taking, over ski boats swamp the fishing boats and we even had one nut that was trying to splash people on the beach with his boat motor, it is a wonder he didn’t cut someone in half. There are so many young people coming out now on weekends to party. The staff is great but i think it is just getting to much for them. The showers used to be spotless all the time, but unfornately there are a lot of people who have come for the clean washrooms but mess them up badly for other people. (posted: 2005)

Never again! Went to birdshill campground last year (2009) with my kids and had the worst camping experience of my life – between the screaming 20 somethings with their boarding loud music running rampant all over the campground until 2 am and the complete lack of patrols to shut them up along with the filthy garbage strewn campsite we paid good money for I was completely turned off by the experience. If you want to party go to the bar and stay out of the family camp grounds! Despite numerous signs warning against loud music and partying on site there is absolutely no enforcement of the rules – complete waste of money and my kids are now scared to go camping because of the fear inflicted on them by the obnoxious drunks that were everywhere in the park!

(2004): we enjoyed our weekend at Grand Beach but found the toilets need fixing up and what’s with the little squares of paper instead of regular toilet paper. also there are very few services-don’t try to buy groceries as the store is very poorly stocked. what’s with the firewood-on the sign its available at only one place and at certain times but when we went there we never did find any firewood.

(2004): Grand Beach used to be a “world class beach”. Well, it isn’t anymore. The water is polluted, often with dangerously too-high e-coli readings and of course, no warning signs posted. They used to clean the dead fishflies off the beach each morning. Now, they sit and rot (and stink). Fishflies now form a 3-4 foot black barrier before you reach the water. The bathrooms are truly gross (and stink). On the West Beach the flies are thick at the concession stand, so they’re all over your food even before you get it. Once you get it, you add condiments (ketchup, etc) that have been sitting in the sun all day with flies from the nearby bathroom all over it. GROSS! Hello? Health Department??? This place used to be so much better. Now it’s just a very run-down party beach… (posted: 2004)

Comments (2006): I think this place is great! I enjoy kayaking here especially in the Lagoon. I agree with the comments regarding water quality, but that is a large scale problem on Lake Winnipeg.

Comments (2007): Grand Beach campground has great campsites and failities. The trails and bike path is second to none and it is not uncommon to see an owl, deer, and other wildlife along the paths. The campground store has some great features including longer hours, availability of firewood and friendly staff. The prices are reasonable and each year the selection gets better and better. The bathrooms in the park need upgrading but are maintained by the cleaning staff very well. I think it is deserving of its’ title as one of the top 10 beaches. (posted: 2007)

terrible!!! first off me and my fellow campers were harrassed by park patrols all evening for our loud music (so low almost off)and after we had all had our share of alcoholic beverages they decided to kick us out solely for the fact that we had been drinking. There were no complaints and we even gathered our neighbours to ask if they had a problem in which they all said no, not at all. They then tried to force us to drive home intoxicated and when we refused theythreatened to call the police. So we called them instead and were aloud to stay. After the incident we went home immediately the next morning to find that some of the park officials had taken our information and tried to add all the girls to facebook to meet up and party with. Very unprofessional workers, and very discriminatory toward anyone young! waste of time and money (posted: 2008)

Never go to grand beach. I have been there 4 times in 3 years. Every time I am harrased by park patrol, and police. They have check stops for insurance and anything else. I have brought my boat out for the day a few times on the lake side and even been harrassed out there. I’m 40 and get treated like a teenager by the young patrollers. Nothing but hassles there. Oh and don’t try to burn any dead wood by your campsite. It’s illegal, even when the stores are out of firewood….. Going back to Ontario to camp trouble free. (posted: 2010)

I think it is the best place to go. My moms boyfriend has a cabin at grindstone provincial park and we go fishing and to the stores all the time.

My family has gone to St. Malo for several years and it is for the most part VERY quiet, clean, well looked after,etc. You may hear some parties going on at cabins across the lake as the sound carries far and wide over water, but the campground itself is well patroled. VERY private sites with alot of trees. Beaches good, fishing not so much. Alot of wildlife, including the occasional sound of wolves and coyotes in the distance. Great groceries in the town itself, and the Holy Cow has great food during the high season. We are going next week, again in July and again in Sept and I can’t wait. This is a fantastic family campground and I would recommend it to all families who like the peace and quiet. (posted: 2009)

Comments (2006): About 10 years ago I camped at West Hawk with a small group. We were actually told to turn off our very low playing jazz music immediately at 11pm by the park rangers. We were only talking and laughing quietly around the campfire (isn’t that what people do when they are camping)?
The next time I camped at West Hawk (about 2 years later) it was like a war zone. It sound like nothing has changed. It hadn’t rained in a long while and it was very dry, and some idiots at 4am dropped a 20lb propane tank into their fire pit shooting a blue/white flame into the trees. Smart huh? I woke up to the explosion after somehow falling asleep to the sounds of screaming and swearing (I must have been exhausted). Nothing was done. No park rangers to be seen. West Hawk Lake campground is INSANE!!!! DON’T GO unless you are too.

Comments (2007): Big Whiteshell Lodge-I have been in the Whiteshell for many years as a cottage resident, park employee & camper & know that the only complaints I have ever heard about this lodge are by rude, ignorant people who like to complain, cause trouble & think rules are for everyone else! The lodge is a beautiful, clean & peaceful place-not to mention run by VERY kind people who make sure their clients are well taken care of, happy & not bothered by other ill-behaved guests.

Every single time we have had so much fun and not one complaint. Actually one year we all went to the beach after the bar for a swim and got caught by three park rangers who demanded we go back to our campsites. They waited until we left and 15 minutes later they stopped at our campsite just to make sure we did. I just dont like that westhawk got such a bad rap. We love it there and eveyone new i take there they always return! (posted: 2007)

Comments (2007): as i do agree west hawk is not the greatest place for family camping (the bar can be noisy and theres only so many park patrol to keep everyone in check.. it’s a very high traffic area after all) if you’re willing to put up with a little noise on the weekends it’s a solid place to go. for those more reserved types there are plenty of campsites in the general area as there are many smaller lakes around. one’s best bet would be to research the sites before going there. whiteshell truly does have something for everyone!

Falcon Lake is a great getaway with the family. The kids always have a blast. So much to do as well. I would really recommend this park to anyone with children. Try Falcon Lakeshore as well as the the Beach Campgrounds. (posted: 2008)

I have only been to a couple areas in the Whiteshell, for all intents and purposes, it appeared to be a party palce and playground for spoiled children at mommy and daddys cabin, i noticed the twit that said if you dion’t want to have fun, don’t go to the whiteshell, having fun and partying is great, acting like an idiot and breaking laws and assaulting other campers is just idiotic, doubt I will go back.

West Hawk Lake is a Park that is suited for mature responsible people who enjoy the outdoors while preserving nature.

The park and those individuals who have a history with it take pride in what it has to offer and take efforts to sustain it.

I spent a weekend camping at West Hawk with my family and will never return. We did not sleep all weekend, there was loud music, yelling and fighting all night long. There were no park rangers around to deal with it, many campers called the police who also weree no help. Drunks were driving through the park late at night at high speeds – very dangerous and lots of vandalism. Camping is supposed to be a peacefull family experience not a party experience. Partiers should take their party indoors where it is not disruptful to those who pay good money for a family weekend. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! (posted: 2009)

We went for the weekend to Nutimik. It was a horrible experience. There was a young kid walking around at 1am with a machete who told us his friends and him were doing mushrooms and they left him on the beach and he was trying to find a way back. We gave him directions but he kept coming back and kept trying to walk further in our campsite. Luckily my husband, brother-in-law and our dog kept him at Bay. He finally left after he whistled and a car came and picked him up. We tried to find park patrol which of course we couldn’t and we call the RCMP who did not feel there was a need to come. We heard the next day that there were a lot of things stolen from other bays and that 1 woman was attached by a guy with a knife who had the same description as the guy who came to our site. I will not be returning to the Whiteshell until they have park patrol available. I have never had an issue at any other park I’ve gone to. (posted: 2009)

So I’m not quite sure why West Hawk Lake on this site seems to have a bad rap!? I’ve been camping there since I was a little kid… from when my parents used to camp in the trailer village, and now I take my kids there in the daily camp grounds…It’s still the same place people! Where in the camp ground are you camping that you can hear the bar? If you hear the noise from there, then camp in a different section further away!! Why complain about such a safe and very family oriented camp ground?! I’ve camped in cars, tents, and now I have a trailer…ALL GOOD PEOPLE!! Yes there are always party people…but guess what?? Anywhere I’ve camped has those crouds!!!! STOP COMPLAINING!!! WHL is a great camp ground! I love it…my friends and family love it and I highly recommend this camp ground to all types of folks…of all ages!! It has everything there that you need to have a fabulous camping experience!!

We camped at West Hawk once, and will never return. As all of the previous posts indicate, it was loud, screaming all night, drunks etc. It felt like I was camping in a refugee camp full of drunk idiots. I was kept up all night by the noise, and the teenage drinking and sex noises. It was the worst camping experience of my life. (posted: 2010)

Disgusting.

Just a collection of boozed up, dope smoking, foul mouthed no-hopers making things miserable for everyone. Came for a long weekend, left after one night.

No park patrol supervision. (posted: 2010)

Nutimik, Otter Falls. Great unless it’s a long weekend then all the “diminished nature experience” individuals come out. I.E. no idea how to launch a boat, handle alcohol, avoid nuisance wildlife or start a fire with less than 5 newspapers and 18 liters of gas. The people who park their boats at the shore at Otter Falls then walk through other people’s waterfront sites to get to their non-waterfront sites sure have some balls. Way too close to Winnipeg to be a relaxing trip, we go further out or go on non-long weekends. Be prepared to lock everything loose up, stand up for and defend your right to privacy when necessary. Still WAY better than Grand Beach or Falcon where “alcohol law” lives. (posted: 2010)

It was a great time. the bar was awesome everyone there is friendly. we partied too hard got evicted the morning of our check out. it was probably because we were too drunk the night before that they couldnt do anything.. but the beach is nice the campgrounds is nice the bar is awesome and also we went to falcon lake social and that was also good. i suggest anyone between the ages of 18 to 25 to go there and let loose.

OtterFalls Campground: August Long Weekend 2010. This campground is not for large group campers who want to stay up and laugh and talk past 11 PM. You will be kicked out without a warning, your money will not be refunded and the park patrol doesn’t seem to care if everyone in your group has had too much to drink. You will be kicked out and so you are pretty much forced to be driving drunk out of the campground. Only a matter of time till some innocent life is taken because of the no noise tolerance level. Every campground needs a group party section and a quiet family section and have these sections on opposite sides of the highway from each other. Or else be strictly for party only or family only. It’s really frustrating because even when I’ve been camping with just my boyfriend, I have never complained about the huge winnebago camper doors slamming shut all the time or the dogs that bark all day and night, or babies crying and younger children squealing and having a great time and making a lot of noise. All sound carries, not just human adult voices. I’m saying there needs to be fairness to everyone who has different perspectives on what they want out of their camping trip. I’m not saying the party campers need to be allowed to get away with murder, but an 11 PM curfew is just not reasonable when it comes to people who want to stay up all night in the woods to laugh, have a few beers and talk loudly over each other.

So far so good this year with Park Patrols and Conservation Officers keeping the non-campers in line. A public campground is NO PLACE FOR A PARTY and the sooner folks get that into their heads and find a private facility that will take their kind the better. Sad that tax dollars have to be spent keeping people from doing things they would never do in their own backyard. (posted: 2011)

What a dump. Loud drunks, beer cans and cig butts everywhere, screaming kids, hicks spinning their tires everywhere constantly, 1000 motorboats per square mile of lake, no staff at all. I can’t imagine a worse campground. I spent one night and had enough, cancelled the rest of my stay and left. I will never go back. (posted: 2011)

Falcon lake campground is becoming really run down. The washroom & shower facilities are disgusting. The toilets were continuously plugged, doors falling off the stalls, crumbling infrastructure and filthy. There appears to be little supervision or standards for grounds keepers and cleaners. They drive around in golf carts all day playing games on their phones. We witnessed them drive right over garbage! They told us all they do is change toilet paper. Sites are not cleaned when vacated; the beach is not raked and garbages are overflowing. There appears to be an adequate amount of staff but they do nothing. Too bad as it is a nice spot.

Camping at Camp Morton Provincial Park was the best! (posted: 2004)

(2004): Although Camp Morton campground doesn’t have running water, the outhouses were extremely clean, as was the rest of the campground. Firewood was provided free, there were numerous scenic hiking trails, a beauiful historic area with old buildings and garndens everywhere, a great catfish stream right beside the campground, and it was right beside the lake. The conservation officers were very nice and made regular patrols through the campground – which wasn’t necessary as this was a very quiet, family campground. I will definetly be returning!

I would not recommend Camp Morton. One Weekend night was more than enough. There was absolutely no privacy, which would have been nice when a loud verbal disagreement full of obscene language broke out at 8 pm, lasting over an hour. It also would have helped when a group of people showed up yelling at midnight, forcing two families to pack up and leave in the pitch black. Many other campers had complaints about reservation errors. The Parks Patrol did not show up until 11 am the next morning. Overall absolutely not a campsite for families or anyone hoping to enjoy a peaceful night. (posted: 2010)
