For this summer, we have stayed in the same park at a seasonal rate. This is a first for us as before we have moved either from park to park, or at least from site to site in a particular park. The Roebuck Campground is located between Meaford and Owen Sound and is an excellent park. There are 44 seasonal sites at least 70 feet long and 45 feet wide on a nice grassy slope about 800 feet above the Georgian Bay. Here is a shot of the Bay off in the distance (about 5 miles) as I am looking directly east from the park.








There’s 75 acres of mixed use area with all of the recreational stuff you would expect including a 9 post Frisbee golf layout, again with Georgian Bay in the distance.

The big pro for staying put for the summer was the cost as well as a bit of stability and being near Meaford. The seasonal rate is $1300 versus the $30+ we were paying for the daily rates at most parks and the hookup and unhook process for each new place. The resulting con is that we have not traveled as much as we would like when we were in the daily places … I mean we do have weeds and long grass around the place that need serious weed-whacking action.

The place is a couple of miles off the main road and this is our view as we approach the edge of the Niagara Escarpment and the view is of the Georgian Bay. About 100 yards beyond where the road drops off is the entrance to the campground.

All in all, this campground has been one of the best we have ever been in with respect to quietness, large sites, and great management. They do have restrooms which isn't important to us but no laundromat which would have been nice.
