An unusual insect found here is the walking stick, which will disguise itself as a small twig for protection. The park is also home to various harmless snakes and the rare five-lined skink, a small harmless lizard. The massassauga rattlesnake, the only poisonous snake in Ontario, inhabits the area but few campers encounter one. The park's 187 campsites are much sought after, especially during peak summer weekends. Reservations are recommended.
All campsites have picnic tables and fireplaces.
Vault toilets and drinking water taps are conveniently located throughout the campgrounds and there is a comfort station with flush toilets and showers. The park offers a full Park Store with camping supplies and snacks. Visitors can enjoy the three sandy beaches with shallow water and buoyed areas for safe family swimming. There are toilets, picnic tables and playground equipment near the beach area. The Gibson-McDonald canoe route, some 56 km long, passes near the park, offering many shorelines for canoeists to explore.
