Love the outhouse review segment! Please keep doing that! Sometimes your campsite is just too far from the comfort station and it’s nice to know what the outhouses are like.
I grew up in sauble. There is so much to do there besides the beach within a 45 min drive in any direction. Definately worth an inexpensive family trip
Reviewing the outhouses is great, I'm not a fan of them but if it is necessary well no choice. I do like the ones that have flush toilets with water in the. Grundy Lake has some of those.
We just got a new to us tab trailer. We’ve camped a lot at Ontario Parks, but with our kids. Now it’s just us. I absolutely love all your reviews. Thank you. Cheryl’s laugh put the happiest smile on my face. You two always have so much fun together. Very inspiring.
That is awesome! Cheryl loves the look of the Tab and really likes it but then I bring her back down to reality reminding her that she likes to pack A LOT OF STUFF and she likes her space in the trailer. I wish we could downsize a bit to open up more potential campsites. Happy camping!
We were on site 113 in East Campground it was really nice. The kids enjoyed the falls. This park is tight though, some of the most narrow roads I have seen in a park yet. They definitely need to have a better layout for the dump station I think. So hopefully it sees some upgrades like other parks have.
I like your Loo review. Sometimes you are too far away from the comfort station. Last year I took a can of Lysol with me and sprayed first. We go to Sauble Falls the first week end in June, for our first visit, so good to get first hand information before we go.
Amazing video, great info. Got in the habit of rewatching your videos before we go to a park. Your channel became our camping Bible 😀. This weekend we are at Valens Lake Conservation Area. Beautiful weather, great weekend. Have fun at Craigleith PP.
Enjoyed the East campground a few years ago, in August, along the water. Found it to be nice and quiet with no rowdy campers. The West campground seemed to be much busier and crowded. Good sized sites in the East camp. A true gem for enjoying the outdoors, kayaking and hiking. The location of the park is perfect for visiting Sauble and the Bruce area. Your video brings back happy times.
It would be great if you could do a review of your kayaks. We are thinking about getting a pair so we are deciding whether we purchase sit in or sit on. I would like to see how you get in and out of your kayaks. You're doing a great job with your videos.
Thanks for the suggestion. I don't think we'll do a review of our current kayaks because they're pretty old and that model isn't made anymore. They are pretty inexpensive Pelican kayaks that we got from Costco. Each year Costco sells a slightly different version of the Pelican Kayak. I will say though that getting in and out is a bit tricky. Our friend has a sit on fishing kayak with the seat on a swivel. He easily sits down then swings his legs on. It's muck more convenient but I haven't looked at the cost.
Love your videos as we plan for our maiden season with our new travel trailer. Like your friend, we have upgraded from a tent trailer that we used when our children were young. We would also like to weigh the trailer and tow vehicle before our first trip. Where did you go to do this. (We live in the same city as you)?
We weighed our trailer at a gravel pit owned by a friend of the people we were camping with. Unfortunately, it's not open to the public. Flying J Travel Centers usually have a CAT scale where you can get it weighed. The one at the 401/Hwy 97 near Ayr is the closest one that has CAT scales. It's exciting thinking about heading out with a new trailer! Hope you get the reservations you're trying for. Happy camping!
Thanks for another great video. Very timely as my son and I are planning two nights there next week. Thanks for the heads up about the water fill station. I like that there was a dishwashing station. Happy camping.
I ended up going solo with the dog. Two rainy nights. Stayed in east campground. Loved the comfort station. I’m now in a B van, I could not imagine using that dump station in a big rig. It was a good place to stay to explore Sauble Beach.
That's a Cookina BBQ sheet. I use it all the time for barbecuing. I talk about it in our Top 8 Comfort Items video ruclips.net/video/Ff2LZFWLFFg/видео.html. Here is a link for the sheets amzn.to/39uJHbU
Wish we had known beforehand the location of the filling station, we had to do a u-turn in the parking lot. We loved biking to Lake Huron from the campground. Very noisy in the summer and yes, no privacy.
The friend we camped with on this trip has a friend that owns a gravel pit in Wellesley. He allowed us to weigh our trailers there. Unfortunately it's not open to the public though. Must people get their trailers weighed at a CAT Scale that are often at truck stops. We've never used one there but they are supposed to be excellent and much more detailed than what we did.
I spent the entire season across from the park at a private campground last year. I walked through Sauble Falls PP almost everyday with my dog, so I got to know the park and area well. The west comfort station is brand new from last season. I put my kayak in closer to the lake and paddled up to the falls, so coming back down was very pleasant. I would like to add that I saw a kayaker get stuck between the start of the falls and the bridge. Very intense rescue had to take place, so I would be very careful if I was kayaking upstream from the bridge. I also biked around that whole area and loved it. One thing you didn’t mention are the spectacular sunsets from the beach. It is called Ontario’s west coast for a reason. 😉 In any case, thanks for the review. I’m heading to Creighleith in a few weeks. I’ve been there before, but not for a few years, so I’ll check your review there. Happy camping!
Thanks for the info. You're right that we forgot to mention the sunsets. The lake Huron Parks; Pinery, Point Farms, Inverhuron and MacGregor Point are our most familiar parks over the year and we always talk about the amazing Lake Huron sunsets. We're just so used to them that it slipped our minds on this trip. Enjoy Craigleith. So much to do in that area. Happy camping!
We booked the campsite right behind Cheryl’s left hand (at 4:24) (at the yellow posts across the road) in July! We know it’s a crappy site, but it’s only a 1 night stay and might end up being perfect for our kids to run around!
We just got back from Sauble Falls (and MacGregor Point).. You are right - campsites were packed, busy and you were on top of your neighbours. You could easily hear people's quiet conversations; we were always telling our kids to be quiet since we felt like we were in other ppl's "living rooms", and other kids screaming and running around until very late at night... went to MacGregor afterwards and couldn't even see our neighbours fire-glow through the trees, and couldn't hear any neighbours. Such an amazing difference.
Even in summer, it’s still pretty quiet. It’s nice it’s spread out, east and west campgrounds. We won’t return till the water level drops so we can drive on the beach south of the main drag. I’m not paying $30 a day for the beach. Sauble isn’t in our top 10.
It is a nice park for people with young children, my kids spent hours playing on the falls. Plus the playground makes it a winner park for them. There isn't much privacy but during summer most campers are gone during the day.
We added the old pics of the kids playing in the falls because while we were there this time clearly, it wasn't a time for anybody to be in the falls. Our kids always loved the falls in the summer.
Thanks for the detailed video. We are going to the East Campground for the first time. Site 102 which is supposed to be next to the water. Did you see if there was a dog beach?
The site you are talking about i believe is a pull through. Don't think it mentions it in the description. We were on 105. Beware if it rains water runs from the top road at one side of the site towards the water so runs right through the site. The sites there hold the water our trailer mat was actually floating. When the rain stopped it drained fairly quickly, some of the sites didn't drain as well.
@@louannekeast8575 thanks so much. Looked like the site was water access from the site map pictures. Do you know if it is? Is there a dog beach ? Thanks again.
We would have to say that Algonquin is our favourite for kayaking. You can kayak right from each campground such as Pog Lake, Mew Lake, Lake of Two Rivers, Cansibay etc and you can drive to any of the campgrounds you're not staying at and kayak from there. Sooo much kayaking to be done. It's great!
What about the tongue weight the trailer adds to the truck when hooked up? That affects your GVW. Part of the trailer weight is on the trailer tires and about 10 to 20 percent is tongue weight. I prefer the narrow scales that weight each individual axle set as I drive over them. I found our trailer axles were OK but the drive axle on our F150 was always 500 to 1000 lbs overweight. I could jack the weight distribution bars up more but that just spreads the weight over the front steer wheels and trailer wheels and created a real bucking ride. We ended up with an F250 and couldn't be happier. I enjoy the content, keep it up.
Yeah, I agree with you. This was a very basic weigh in. There is a lot more to it such as axle weights, tongue weight, max towing weight etc. Ideally I'd like to get on a scale that weighs each tire separately to get a real accurate picture of our weight. Maybe some day. Thanks for your input.
I just came back to this video after your first Texas video. I’m curious as to your axle issue. Your trailer weight here was close but doesn’t take into consideration the weight the truck carries as you had your tongue jack down on the scale. Can’t wait to see part 2
It's unusual that they have they set up like that at Sauble Falls. It's certainly not ideal. By the way, welcome to Ontario! I'm sure it's a big change from Florida. I hope you're continuing north to check out some real nice Ontario provincial parks. Happy camping!
Our travel companions on this video have a friend that owns a gravel pit. He let us use it. It's not open to the public though. I recommend going to CAT Scales that can be found at alot of truck stops. They can weigh per axle which is much better. Our weigh in was very basic.
Oh ok I get it now. The weigh scale is owned by friends of the people we were camping with. We don't know the owners ourselves, we just met them that day.
Cell Phone Service: If you've been to this park please let us know your experience with cell service.
so freakin pumped for this season, great vlog guys be safe and have fun.
Yes! Thank you for the great video. I'm camping now and woke up to this video!!!!! Can't wait to see more.
love it really enjoy the video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Yes!!!!! Glad to see you again.
And another great video! Thx

Cheryl is a real connoisseur of washrooms so she's putting her knowledge and experience to good use. 😃🚻🚽🪠
I agree, it's a great new segment!
Season 4 Episode 1 🤓 should be a great year. Looking forward to some great reviews
Memory snapshots and vault toilet reviews are amazing ! Salute to Season 4 !
Good vídeo guys, keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
nice!

Your reviews are well thought out and well done. Thanks so much.
We appreciate that! Thanks.
Love your channel and looking forward to this years reviews. CHEERS!!!!!
Thanks for the support!
another awesome video, thanks guys, and keep the washroom review haha pretty good
Great video! I was so excited to see the start of a new season! I really liked the way you did the campground tour and the bathroom reviews.
Thanks so much.

Thanks so much. I like your habit of rewatching the videos. Keep it up! 👍
Awesome footage . Never heard Cheryl laugh so hard. Have had a few of those “ oh my gosh he’s going to tip the kayak”.🤣
Yeah, the footage isn't all that funny but I had to keep it in for her crazy laugh.
love the loo review!!!
I’m at Sauble Falls right now, site 19. Thanks for your reviews, very helpful. Hope you are enjoying summer. From: de Faria’s Family
Thanks for the Review we have booked for this spring.
Hope you enjoy it!

The Poison Ivy is bad in the west campground, take care, great videos! My wife liked the LOO reviews.
u can go anywhere u want anytime its called boondocking we are nt paying any park this year for any camping

There’s a place called Craig’s caves about a 30 min drive from there. It’s absolutely unbelievable in there. Worth the drive for a beautiful hike.
Awesome! Thanks for the tip.
ya i was there years ago it is a cool place, they filmed a move there many years ago.
This is really good
Cheryl's Loo Review - Brilliant!
It sure plays to her strengths. Heal up buddy and get back on that Bruce Trail.
Suable falls has tons of mountain bike trails, you missed them.
Thanks!
I always love sitting in the falls. It is almost like a water massage.
It sure is nice. Not so much at the beginning of May though. ❄️🌨️

Thank you. Watched the video going to buy a few of the items.
Wish we had known beforehand the location of the filling station, we had to do a u-turn in the parking lot. We loved biking to Lake Huron from the campground. Very noisy in the summer and yes, no privacy.
Thanks for posting Ben and Cheryl. We’re did you get your trailer weighed and what was the cost? I live in Waterloo. Thanks again. Rick

Cheryl, you have the best laugh.
She saves the best laugh for when she thinks I'm going to fall in the water. She always films the not so elegant entry into the kayak.

Our camping season starts april14. See u guys somewhere

you guys are awesome you think of everything. We are camping there in July. I wonder how the bugs will be. :)
Thanks. July is always a gamble with bugs. You'll just have to hope for the best and be prepared.
Packed full of good info as usual. Looking forward to the rest of your season. Quick question: Is your Buddy still pleased with his Rear Camera?
This was just his first trip with the camera. He said it was great and he was very happy with it. No long term testing done on it yet though.
Going there next week, hope the bugs are little better.
At least they weren't biting.
Thanks for the detailed video. We are going to the East Campground for the first time. Site 102 which is supposed to be next to the water. Did you see if there was a dog beach?

If i had watched this video i would have know to skip the ranger station, we have a 35 foot fifth wheel and the turn around was a challenge. larry

Hi. Can you update us where you did the weighin?
Our travel companions on this video have a friend that owns a gravel pit. He let us use it. It's not open to the public though. I recommend going to CAT Scales that can be found at alot of truck stops. They can weigh per axle which is much better. Our weigh in was very basic.
Where was the weigh station and do you pay for it?
It was at a gravel pit owned by friends of our travel companions. Unfortunately it's not open to the public. He just allowed us to use it as a favor.
Do you know the people were you weith the truck trailer
I'm not sure what you're asking. Can you please rephrase your question or be more specific?
Gerber acers farm were truck scale i know them
Oh ok I get it now. The weigh scale is owned by friends of the people we were camping with. We don't know the owners ourselves, we just met them that day.
walking through someone else's campsite, leaving outside light on when you go to bed,
who is that singing? You've played them before...
