Not as scary as Alcatraz but a very intesting stop ... more of a deterent from bad behavior than the facilities they are building today. The governers house was also interesting ... lots to learn too.... make sure to ask why he lived on site. You can't do much for $6 ... take the kids too.... see how thing used to be and read some of the stories and reasons people were jailed..... some a chuckle, some heartbreaking.

Decent sized sites with decent privacy, though some are better than others. We had a non electrical camp site in the colborne site. Gets a little busy with younger folks on the weekend but nothing outlandish, Don’t forget a ground tarp, as the sites can be gravelly. The beach is lovely. Walk past the parking lot for a bit more room as the beach area closer to the parking lot has eroded. Sunsets are amazing. Hiking trails are not listed in km, but rather minutes. Keep in mind those are to be doubled if walking with kids. Parts of the hiking trail are Quite sunny. Washrooms are decently cleaned for a campground. However, expect a wait in the mornings because there is a limit on the amount of people allowed in. (Covid) And some people were doing hair and makeup inside the washroom ????????♀️Bring a mask to wear inside the washrooms per request. All in all we had a lovely time.

Goderich, a town of many facets, with beautiful beaches, incredible city design with wonderful little stores and restaurants. Aside from being right on Huron Lake with long shallow walk in the water beaches, in my view, it is one of the most incredibly wholehearted town with picturesque spots everywhere. The people are extremely friendly; the sights around town are unique. The restaurants, well, mama mia, great food! We walked everywhere, took our time and swam at Rotary Cove beach, enjoyed sitting in the park overlooking the bay, had a drink at the old train station. Simply delightful. The water had cooled off a bit but was still refreshing for Lake Huron for September. We recommended many of our friends to go and visit and we are planning to go back ourselves.

The landscaping in the square is beautiful such a nice green space with beautiful hanging baskets and gardens. The courthouse building is one of our favourite buildings in Ontario.

Enjoyed a picnic lunch at one of the tables by the board walk and a walk on the beach to examine stones. The playgrounds were well used. The public washrooms/changerooms were clean and the parking was plentiful and free. The wind was blowing so it was too rough to swim. Truly an inspiring place. Hope to visit again next summer and get in a swim.
