S05E11 Arrowhead Provincial Park Review

We were there at the same time. You came biking past our site in Roe as we were packing up. My son ran into the trailer to tell my wife and daughter. He was so excited she thought he saw a bear 😂. Keep up the great work.

We have been to Arrowhead several times. We like the huge sites. My very first time camping there was back in the late 60's when the park was under construction. We were in the Lumby area and they allowed campers to come in and camp .My father didn't like the lake as there were no outcropping to go for picnic lunches ( they didn't like beaches) so we never went back. Ken and I have been there in 3 seasons and hope to maybe get there for a March Break trip - in a tent . Cheryl, try a Lugable Loo if you want to try the cabins...makes life easier

This is my favorite go to park. In my opinion this is what camping sites should look like, mostly private, and flat.
I was disappointed to see lots of empty water bottles and garbage. I picked up 25 water bottles in 2 days.

We love Arrowhead! Agree with you guys…campsites are big and very private. Just there in August of this year and surprised to see that the main office at the park entrance is closed and you have to go to the park store in the middle of the campground to register unless you pre-register online. Luckily we pre-registered online while we still had good cell service and then we didn’t need to wait in the long line at the park store. We love the campground booklet too!! Happy camping!!

Last time we were at Arrowhead we didn't own kayaks. Will have to go back and check out the paddling. We also like the camping paper and wish all parks had it. Thanks again for the review

Yes, no laundry facilities is a downside. We were there last summer and needed to wash 1 load of laundry. We had to go into Huntsville to do it and and there’s only 2 laundry mats in Huntsville and both are insanely busy. It took forever to wash 1 load.

Oastler Lake also does not have laundry facilities!

I have always wondered — can you hear hwy 11 in the campground ?

I used to go a cottage with a friend as a teen that was about 15 minutes up the road and always wondered about arrowhead.

Another great video. Arrowhead is my favorite park to date. Like you mention . doesn't feel like its close to anything but it is actually very convenient location.

I love Arrowhead!

Absolutely the biggest, most private sites of any park we have been to (maybe halfway lake sites are as spacious)

100% on the park newspaper thing. I really like having them.

We went up there about a month ago nice park but I thought the beach was to bird pooped plus tons of weeds in water hard to paddle but enjoyed the hiking. And the man was mad he didn’t listen to me to bring bikes .

Camp booklets are great.
Another great review! And now I need to try dump cake!

Absolutely gorgeous cinematography guys, such a beautiful and atmospheric presentation!

Another great video!!! Thank you for sharing! I was off with your rating this time by a 1/2 point! Arrowhead has been on my bucket list for a few years. Including camping there in the winter.

We've been to Arrow head too for a week and enjoyed the amenities of Huntsville. On a rainy day we took the kids to the bowling alley and the arcade at Deerhurst Resort. Both my parents are from PEI and we have been many tens of times. Hope to see how you liked it!

So interesting the mug story. I always tell my wife, Vanessa, that wish I could find my old Tim Hortons mug that I bought in 2005/2006 and when I saw your mug I said “damn, look that, he also has one… is that a new one? Where can I get it?” Now I know that is the same. Luck you! Cheers Ewandro

I hope you guys do winter camping I’d love to see a review about doing it before I try it

Any plans to come back in the winter. Interested to see what you think of the park then and its winter rating.

Beauty of a campground. I love the grundy lake reference. I've heard you guys use that a few times. Grundy has been a long favorite.
Arrowhead is getting put on the camp list for when the kids are a year or two older!.
Keep up the great content!😊

I love you guys so much ❤ and I enjoy watching your videos. I go camping every year. Just a suggestion if you guys can talk a little more about the hike trails at the provincial park.

Hey, we were there the weekend of September 23!!! We stayed in lumby campground!! Great little park! Also that stone fired pizza truck has amazing food!

We stayed at 479 for the Civic Holiday weekend! That's such a funny coincidence. I agree it is a great site, we had 478 and 479 for our group. 2 great large sites.

Great video camping with the coles!
We stayed in the winter at the cabins and loved it. (We made a make shift emergency pee potty with kitty litter for the kids and left in on the porch. It was perfect with little kids)
I hope you go it! Definitely worth a winter stay.

Lol red button 🚨🤣

We did the mayflower trail when we were there a few years ago. Not sure if we got lost or it was part of the trail but you almost had to be a mountain goat to get up it. Lol. If you do the cabins get yourself a portable toilet. I’m like you, gotta have my potty.🤣. Have never actually camped here but visited it many times. Gonna put on my list now. Thanks

Arrowhead is our favourite.
Always love your videos. Met you once camping in 2022 (fluffy, bouncy white dog) and saw you Saturday at the Toronto Fall RV show. Didn’t chat with you Saturday but thinking you must get stopped by a lot of people that want to say hi!
Looking forward to your PEI trip review. That is our big trip for 2024.
All the best and thank you for sharing your adventures 😊❤️🏕️

Arrowhead is one of our favourites! The kids spent soooo much time in Stubbs Falls.
Thanks for another great video!

Was in PEI in the summer. 😊

I actually keep the latest copy of the park tabloid. I have tabloids from 62 parks in the file cabinet. I find them very helpful & informative.

Love this park right from the get go it has everything , Wow that cake sounded and looks darn deliciouse YUM. "My dog would love this park how awesome they have two fantastic dog beaches id love the trails myself and camp spots. I love those booklets they gave you too they are useful. I would have liked if they had at least a Johnny on the spot at the beaches. what a great review I am sold for this park . Thank's so much for this appreciated . Ontario Canada.

I am a new subscriber. And your videos are very helpful and informative. We just started camping about 2 years ago, and im so happy you have this channel for my future reference. ❤❤❤

ben i love arrowhead

I need to try this park again. I have never camped there, but last time I hiked there the deer flies and mosquitos were terrible on the trails. I was literally running through!

We just found you guys on u tube. We are in Roe site 459 July 1 2024. Been camping for years, this will be our 1st time to arrowhead

I love you guys. I love your tour of all the parks. Arrowhead is on our list this summer. We were able to get a few days later in the summer. Thank you for sharing,

We use to camp at Arrowhead back in the early 1980's, loved the area so much we ended up moving north of the park in 1986.

🥰🥰🥰

What do you guys do with your dog when your biking and kayaking? Serious question. I have a doodle too.

Thanks so much guys for a great review of these provincial parks. Headed to Arrow Head with my boys!!!

Unfortunately the pet exercise area is on leash!

Good to watch actual Canadians people giving reviews 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Also I'm glad you got your mug back 😂

Just barely managed to book August 1-4 at 7am on March 1. Someone got the site I wanted out from under me but I managed to book site 335 in East River right beside my original pick - that is, after the reservation site crashed for about 15 mins

Great review. Quick question: How was the water at the various beaches? Was it relatively clear and clean? Similar to Sandbanks at all?

Thanks!

Thank you for your in-depth video! We are heading to Arrowhead for the first time in a couple of weeks so your video was extremely helpful!
