Sandbanks, the name says it all. An extensive dunes system with endless sandy beaches. Of course, the whole region is well know for its birding and unusual flora and fauna, but it's still the beaches that are the main attraction. A nice bonus is that the East Lake section, being almost completely enclosed warms up earlier in the season than the rest of the areas waters, allowing you to hit the beaches a little earlier than usual. This is a great campers park for families and anybody who loves the water.

The park is located on the shores of Lake Ontario on Quinte Isle. The area is well known as a vacation destination, quaint villages, an interesting history and exceptional nature observationl are all a big part of the attraction. Of course, its the beaches of Sandbanks along with the excellent camping, which provide people with a great reason for returning year after year.
If you can haul yourself out of the water for a while you'll find there is a lot more to the park than just sand castles. The park has great canoeing and sea kayaking, the latter only now being developed. There are bicycle paths and cycling routes along the nearby country roads as well as an excellent mountain biking area just a short distance away at Macaulay Mountain. You can also hike the trails at Beaver Meadow, Little Bluff and Massassaga Point Conservation Areas, Macaulay Mountain or choose from one of the trails within the park .
