It was worth the hours long journey! The views at this park are unmatched. We had a very comfortable stay. There are very few times that my partner and I get the opportunity to camp at a non-provincial park. Tobermory was my first time and it exceeded all my expectations. Campground: The campground is quite small compared to other parks I've stayed in. Additionally, the campsites were very small, some of the smallest campsites I've ever seen. I remember watching the trailer struggle to pull through. We didn't have enough space in the campground to open the trailing awning. Although the forest of the park remains to be very beautiful. I told my partner multiple times during this trip that the campsites look like the displays at BassProShop. The trees are evenly spread apart and it feels like camping in the set of a movie. Amenities: The washrooms and showers at Cyprus lake were as good as a day spa. The showers They're nicely designed with what looked like a really nice modern tile. Clean bathrooms, never muddy, or unkept. Staff work very hard in keeping it spotless. The surrounding area of the bathroom also operates as a multi-use area. There are picnic tables, ping-pong tables, a playground, Wi-Fi, electrical plugs all sheltered by an overhanging roof. It's a good place to spend time during a rainy day. Because this is not a provincial park I wasn't able to purchase an official park crest, as they didn't have one. Instead I bought an unofficial park crest from one of the many souvenir shops in town. The town nearing the campground is super cute. We ate at one of the many fish & chip places, looked around in the souvenir shops. There's a small grocery store in the tourist town that sells some essentials and food items. Although I will say, the prices were very expensive. This is the only place to buy food without driving at least an hour away. For our week long stay, we had to visit this place a couple times. The visitors center was really fun day trip. It was a small-medium educational museum mostly geared towards children. There were some sections that were still interesting to engage with. They have preserved lampreys, fur pelts of various park wildlife, taxidermy, history, interactive activities etc. We took the boat toured the ship wrecks, hiked on flowerpot island, and swam. It's really a one of a kind experience for a camping trip in Ontario and I really recommend it if you haven't done it before. Lake: The campground is located right by Cyprus lake. It's a small, warmer lake that is accessible from many of the campsites. We enjoyed walking over and having a swim countless times. The lake is really flat, great for canoeing and paddle boarding. There's a great hike that starts on the path surrounding Cyprus lake that leads you to Indian Head Cove. The hike is about 30 mins, flat terrain not too much climbing to do. Once at the Cove the path gets very rocky and jagged. Sneakers and water shoes are very necessary. The cove is purely a rock beach, you wont find a single grain of sand and you will need to do some climbing if you want to get in the water. The water is drop dead gorgeous. It's a beautiful tropical blue color, you wouldn't think its just a lake. But don't let the warm colored water fool you, it's ice cold! I actually found it to be very refreshing but the Cove is located on Lake Huron, one of the deeper great lakes. Swimming at the cove is unmatched though, I recommend everyone to try it at least once. Overall, this park is such an experience. There's so many things to see and do within this park that are so unique to the park itself. I recommend really spending some time here and getting to do everything. Not to mention the stars here are amazing!…
