SUMMARY

Turtle Dunes in Long Point Provincial Park is a beautiful camping area located on the north shore of Lake Erie in Ontario, Canada. The area boasts stunning natural surroundings, including sandy beaches, sand dunes, and a diverse array of wildlife. Nearby points of interest include the Long Point Bird Observatory, where visitors can witness the migration of thousands of birds each year, as well as the Old Cut Marina, a popular spot for fishing and boating enthusiasts.

The campground itself offers a range of amenities, including flush toilets, showers, and a service building. There are 98 campsites available, with some offering electrical hookups for RVs. Reservations are recommended, although some sites are available on a first-come-first-serve basis.

An interesting fact about the area is that it is home to a unique species of turtle called the Spiny Softshell Turtle, which is only found in a few areas of southern Ontario. Visitors may be lucky enough to spot one of these elusive creatures during their stay.

The best time of year to visit Turtle Dunes is during the summer months, with average temperatures ranging from 20-25°C (68-77°F). This is also the busiest time of year, so visitors should book their campsites well in advance to avoid disappointment.
