We agree...the park is very peaceful. We don't go there for beaches or paddling ( which we really enjoy) but for the hiking. We go there either May 2-4 or Thanksgiving when the park is less busy but we have gone there for a day trip just to go and hike. Pro tip- cell service is not bad at the garbage dump area.
Oh good tip on the cell service!! This is one of my favourite parks from a peaceful standpoint and lovely trails. We hope to go back in September.
Love that you guys get out of the Park sometimes and visit local breweries. Your videos are great, keep em coming! Awenda has been on my list for a while and I think I'll be going there this summer. Thanks for the review, they're very helpful. Cheers! ☺🍺🍺
Thanks so much! Glad they can be helpful. We like to explore the area to see what's around and we do enjoy our craft beers 🍻. I hope to get back to Awenda this year in the summer months to enjoy those beautiful beaches. I really liked that park.
@@TheAverageTourist If I get there this summer, I'm definitely checking out the Brewery, looks great! You two have got the right idea! The Park looks great too and I even have some friends who live in Tiny Township. Have you ventured up to Tobermory? Beautiful area as well. Thanks again for the information. Cheers! 😜🍺
@davidpalmer4210 we went to Tobermory about 10 years ago before we started camping. Need to add that to the list now.
Beach 2.5 for the win!
Yes!!
We were there July 2023 and found the park beautiful and we had a very nice site, HOWEVER we have Telus and had zero internet or phone, a real pain because we were trying to organize a meeting with friends and had to leave the park to phone them. We also found a couple of Rangers rather militant in particular one young Ranger who was hiding in the bushes ready to pounce on people for the slightest noise.He was warning people for things like regular volume conversation. Yeah he was power hungry.
So for us improve the internet and get rid of the little commando Ranger and it will be fine.
This gorgeous park is indeed an ideal place for camping with so much to explore. What I noticed was the dumping station looks tidy and conveniently located for the campers. Also, the park has clean toilets and showers which for me are essential amenities when camping. I give two thumbs up to this informative presentation. Cheers!
Haha! When you leave your stuff out in the rain, it sure gets wet! 😁
Nice stroll at the lake and going for a drink is always good.
No cellservice is a pain, but on the other hand it's good for digital detox... 😉
Nice place to spend the weekend for sure!
That really looks like the perfect way to spend the day! Nothing better than exploring the very best that nature has to offer! So serene and tranquil! Absolutely beautiful!
Couldn't agree more!
Beautiful trip towards the nature as they say into the wild we found peace. Such a refreshing place filled with greenery and lovely beach, those trails are worthy to spend days and just walk
Thank you! We quite enjoyed this one.
Such a relaxing park, cool place to hang out. Nice trail experience.
Yes it was! We really enjoyed it 👌
What a beautiful park. The campsite/ campgrounds looks really nice. It looks like great place to spend a summer weekend. The beach is beautiful.
It was amazing, definitely a favourite for me now. And the beaches were awesome.
Great video! Thank you for sharing. I will most definitely be adding Awenda sooner than later!!
Thanks so much. Hope you enjoy it when you get there!
I enjoyed your revue and comments, the park is only a short drive from home, we will give it a visit after the labor day long weekend. Loved the comment about the "rooty" trail, a new saying to remember.
Thanks so much, hope you enjoy it 😊
It seems like a great park. I like trail. Enjoyed the information and the park.
Thanks for watching!
The beaches and the trail brought me back.
Thanks for your support.
Good camp site and loved the rookie mistakes 🤩Cool shaded walk along the boardwalk. Good tips on one dot trail. Great review. 👍 Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow. It always amazes me to see places that are so beautiful! Thank you for the awesome narration and shots!
Thank you very much!
Looks like another beautiful park! I love the mix of beaches and forests! :)
It really is! We love that too.
Thanks for the review. This park is on my goto list.
We didn't know what to expect, but really liked it! The sites all seemed pretty private and nice amenities. Hope you enjoy when you go!
Love this park! We used to go to this park when our children were small with our tent trailer and stayed in Bear. Fast forward 20 years and we now have a small trailer, similar to yours and will be revisiting this park in 2 weeks. Thanks for the review....gives us a better idea of what to expect since we are trailer newbies ourselves.
That is awesome! Definitely a great park, hope you enjoy revisiting with your new trailer. 😊
My husband and I used to go to Awenda with our friends when their kids were small. This park is for chilling. When we went to the bench it would be a day trip. Mostly did the trails and chilled on the site. Bikes are a must here.
I agree, bikes are definitely needed here. And a chill park is a great description
Looks like a perfect location to camp. Great camp sites AND lots to see and do right in the same location.
It really is!
This park looks like an amazing place to camp! The campsites seem great, and it's wonderful that there are so many activities and attractions within the same location. The trail looks particularly enticing. Thank you for sharing this information about the park.
It was one of my favourite parks for sure. The trails there were very picturesque, and I loved the many beaches 🙌
I love this park!
Me too!! 🙌
what a perfect place to get away from it all! Albeit i"m sure it gets busy and makes that hard but it so beautiful and green! And the trails are well made and look like easy but very enjoyable hikes! What does 'radio free' mean? You're not allowed to take radios? Thanks for sharing!
Radio free means no music or loud noises. It's a more peaceful area. We really liked this park.
Great video Sara
Thanks for watching
We love this park. We must of been there the same time as you. It’s a must in the summer as the beaches are amazing. It was a little cool this time and with all the shade it made it cooler. We are with Telus and no reception in the park except at kettle lake and beach 4. A little interesting note beach 4 has also a nudist beach 😂
Oh my!! I had no idea about the nudist beach 🤣 good thing there weren't any other people there while we were filming 🤣 I'd love to go back in the summer for those beaches. And good to know about the Telus service! Enjoy your camping season 🙌
Oh I love the seclusion of the sites and being surrounded by all those trees. Lol, I love that even pros like y'all still make rookie mistakes and call them out. Kind of like when I screwed my audio a while back. Mmm beer tasting. The bathrooms seem clean enough and the laundry facilities definitely help. Great views of the water. Seems like a lovely place.
Had to check this place out again
Haha yep we still make tons of camping blunders. But ya live and ya learn! 🤣
This park looks great. The roomie mistakes are a nice touch. The beers at Quale's Brewery look great. The beaches look rocky but the beaver pond board walk looks great.
Thanks!
This seems like a good location for camping. You pointed out some good notes to remember if you're looking for a campsite. Nice.
Thanks so much 🙏
The campsites seem much larger usual and so private. Nice beaches (even the rocky one) and it’s nice to see the one has an accessible walkway! I think it is so important so everyone cam enjoy the beach.
I agree, nice to see some parks adding accessible elements.
Enjoy your Canada day weekend 🎉
Thank you! Same to you if you're in Canada, or Happy 4th if you're in the US 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Been ages since I have watched one of your videos, so nice to see one of your reviews. You guys seem to be loving caravanning.
Nice to have you back!! Yes we are loving it and really have become outdoor people 🙌
After watching the episode I wasn't surprised that you didn't have many dislikes. It seems like a great park. I would love the trail and beach options. It would be inconvenient to not be able to get weather updates due to the poor service, but it would be a perfect option for anyone wanting to really disconnect.
We were willing to overlook the poor cell service for the great views and nature. I want to go back to that beach
The non-walkable is crucial for my family, as we are in a motorhome, no extra vehicle. We’ve done some really long walks in the past to get places, but wonderful videos like this make me wiser! Thanks for your info. Recommend a park with a quality beach in walking distance?
Thanks for sharing. I will go there in Aug. and bring my kayak. How ‘s the launching my kayak by myself to the kettle lake from the parking lot? I don’t have any wheel for kayak and mine is 50LB.
Might be a bit of a struggle. You could drop it off close to the launch area, but there's still stairs and/or a ramp you will need to go down. Even with 2 people it might still be difficult, but we saw others trying.
Thanks for your video. I will go camping in this Aug. i will bring my kayak. Do you think i need kayak trolly for launching to the Kettle lake? I am a solo kayaker. The others are all golfer🤣.
Never mind this! I already got the answer from you.
It's definitely a bit tricky to get down to the water.
Hiiiiii from MOROCCO
Hii! 👋
What are canoe rentals like? Where do you pick ‘em up an approximate price/time?
Can only be rented in half day time slots in July and August to use in Kettle lake. Didn't see the pricing and I believe pick up is at Kettle Lake. They weren't out yet when we were there.
@@TheAverageTourist Didn’t end up canoeing in the end but we absolutely loved the park!!! I feel like it’s definitely one I don’t hear about and neither did most of my family who camps often. Feels like a slept on one but literally had a whole rock beach to take pictures at for hours with no one around
I love this park...I will definitely go back. Such a beautiful amd quiet beach area too. Glad you enjoyed!!
