Uththaman Shanmugarajah

Great place. Clean! Not busy and great Sand.

Richard K

One of my favorite beach

Danilo A.

Is beautiful place for family and friends

Dilay Dere

love this place! the water is clean, the sand is beautiful, you can have a picnic here then later, you can go into the water because it is a 30 second walk to the ocean! love the area!

Paul Benedict Maraganas

Campsites weren't that big but were still good. Washrooms were clean and kept in good shape. The beach is great and even has a place to play volleyball. Shops are nearby like Giant Tiger. It is even close to Casino Rama. The only complaint though were the mosquitoes. Many of them were found, and some were even HUGE. If you're not a fan of mosquitoes, than I suggest for you not to go here. You get bitten so many times that it may be painful for up to three weeks.

luke dorey

Beautiful spot!

Thilagan Kunanayagam

A wonderful place to spend time with your family during the summer days.

Melanie Jenkins

Beautiful beach. Not super big, but it has public bathrooms and a playground. Water was warm and calm the day we were there.

Avnish Dhingra

Nice beach and picnic area for a day out.

Maciej Kościuk

Very nice beach little bit crowded but very nice

James Weber

I frequently visit Mara to camp during the summer and I love it! The park is fairly small which I enjoy as there is not much noise. The beach is very big as well. There is also a considerable amount of mosquito so don’t forget bug spray!

Jim Jimerson

Nice quiet relaxing

Drew Mann

Not a long beach but a big beach...nice water for kids..good facilities!

Ankur Mathur

It's a hidden gem for beach goers!!.beautiful,shallow warm water.

Mark Harris

Don't ever go here!! It is a beautiful section of lake country that I'd rather keep to myself. Sssh! Keep it secret, keep it safe.

Yogita Rajian

The beauty of this place is amazing. Its a little secluded but not hard to get to. A quiet place to spend the day. Bring a picnic basket and blanket, sit on the beach n listen to the waves.

Mehrnoosh Ne

Very nice park. Tall trees. Huge sandy beach and super clean washrooms.

Asif Nana

Amazing beach. Grassy area for picnic and 1 min walk to clean washrooms and nice shallow sandy water for kids. Lots of room and clean and even has a small playground. Worth the drive.

Skanthan Thiru

Very nice park with a gorgeous sandy beach

Bayardo L (Bayard0)

Great beach, sand was clean, water was clear..

Leah Mueller

I was there over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised of how clean the beach water was even though it was a bit chilly! The park itself is clean well maintained. Oarking is a bit of an issue and road way to get in and out should be more visible. All and all will definitely be going back all summer!!

Denesh Sohan

Awesome place for dogs and kids

Mahesh Persaud

nice get away close to home, lots of mosquitoes tho

Jatheethiran Balachandran (Jay Dady)

Pakeerathan Panchalingam

#nice place #nice beach #need more wash rooms

LM Williams

As Seniors we enjoyed the quiet nights. We shared a laugh. Canada Day weekend, family camp, school just out . Babies and children galore. Good that the children woke the campers instead of two seniors might add early risers with their calm quiet dogs. And whistle kettle. Which we , each time caught before the whistle. Staff are great .

Joel Mueller

Great spot depending on wind direction.

Cute park, really busy beach. The sites are very close so no privacy really

Kat Nadz (ExplodingCowsGoMoo)

Super nice beach. Small but clean and very few people especially on a weekday.

Anita&Scott Curran

Tomas Chylinski

Beautiful, large beach. Nice and shallow - excellent for kids.

Shenthuja Ramana

Great place, gets full fast. Once they're at capacity they will not allow anyone in even if others leave, which doesn't make much sense. Decent and clean bathrooms. Get there early!

Kevin Li

Very common and plain Canadian park. Nice beach, many picnic tables and forest. Would be great in the summer but only a few parking spots outside of the closed gate in this current covid season. Not worth much even the free day using.

Vaishnavi B

Totally worth the 17 dollars entrance fee, we visited just the beach which was perfect..sandy, shallow, clean and warm!

J Hobson

During the hot summer days, the canopy of trees can be a welcome relief from the heat. We wished the campsites had more grass areas and less dirt. The beach was not easily accessed from the camping area, and far too crowded to really enjoy. Also, no camp store in the park, so if you need something, you'll have to drive into Orillia.

Arezoo Alamdari

Amazing water to walk in without water shoes.

Mehran Sa

Pretty chill place for camping, sites were quiet. Would definitely go back

Shagana Viveack

Great Beach only on hour from the city, very similar to sadbacsk except you don't need to travel three hours for it

Abel Gonzalez Gomez

Water temp is great. The beach is small but beautiful, the water is clear and the sand is nice. Great place to spend a couple of days and actually get in on the water...

Andrei Sonoc

Beautiful night sky! Clean and nice campground will large sites! 2 picnic tables per site!

Kristen Woods

Amazing staff. Jim was particularly helpful. Very clean grounds and facilities. Will be back for sure

Mina Saneei

We camped there for 1 night, staff were friendly and site was clean. The beach was clean and nice.

Taylor M

Nice little provincial park. We walked in from the front gate due to the park still being closed (off season). Some sites seem really nice, some are very open, the beach looks nice, but visited while the ice was still on the lake so cannot comment on water quality mid summer. We did not stay overnight or use any facilities.

Great beach and park...free monday to thuraday at the moment...not sure the details

Jim Morrison

Not at Longford Mills..Atherley would be more accurate

Kyra Pupinski

Lovely small park with wooded camping area and small beach. Closes just after labour day. But a nice place to walk the dog when it is closed.

Pamela Pali

It was a nice park for a picnic.

Sam Tim

Very nice beach water clean it little small.

aval joshi

Nice place for nature lover

Belinda Long

Now I haven't been camping there yet...but I've been swimming there. Awesome beach area. I'll be camping there soon ...I'll give an update.

Oscar P. Calderon

I'm only going to give it 3 stars because I was here yesterday and a lot of mosquitoes were bitten me terrible I'm not happy I still had a good time swimming in the water but the mosquitoes roughed the rest of the time but it was a good beach still a lot of white Asian and Spanish people come here but if you have kids be very careful with the mosquitoes because they are really going to bite you

Michelle Atkinson

Nice park with a sandy walk out beach with playground. Not too busy.

c c

We canoed from Narrows Canoe & Kayak Co to Mara beach located in this park. The beach is nice, clean crystal clear water, fairly warm water temperature on a late summer day, very shallow - about waist level 100m into the lake.

Iryna Osadcha

Lovely beach, great for kids.

We took a picnic and spent a nice few hours by the water. After all the restrictions we are enjoying visiting our beautiful parks. One a week. The beach was crowded but people were distancing with space to spare. Clean park and beach. Toilet facilities could have benefitted from a clean.

Kale L

One of my favorite smaller parks near a city for convenience

Pantea Maralani

Beautiful scenery and a very nice beach. Not very busy on a Sunday afternoon of course.

Great beach! Tons of space. You can do anything from volleyball to throwing a football to swimming. If you hop by Orillia, this is the beach you must visit.

Christine D

Great beach

indu rana

Had a fantastic day at the beach. Loved everything about it. The temp was like 30° but didn't even feel it because of the trees n shade around.

Diego Chicaiza

Nice place to visit.

Stephen Da Silva

Awesome warm beach water and not very crowded.Highly recommended.

Aucoin Digital

I stayed at Mara Provincial Park last weekend. We were at a campsite near the end of the park that does a loop. We had 2 secluded campsites for 8 people. Park Wardens were friendly. The beach is huge and busy during the weekends. Would recommend 10/10.

Gary Cameron

Nice beach, large sites, but sites dont don't have much privacy.

Deb Lauzon

Convenient and quiet. Low lying areas in sites and roadways need to better maintaines

Great park!

Great Beach,. Great sites.

Nice park, the water is clear, beach is clean. Please as the sign clearly states no dogs in the water, respect that.

Jie Yu

Nice beach, although a little small area

Yossi Z

Amazing park with great amenities and close to town with a wide variety of big name stores and activities

Ryan Thornton

Great day use park, probably the best beach in orillia. The water is almost always safe since it's on lake simcoe. I haven't been camping there myself but it seems like a small & cozy campground

Nizam Sikdar

Very beautiful

Great beach, good sites, friendly staff. Sometimes they can be a little picky so watch your noise levels.

Nastaran Rahnama

Great park with awesome beach in summer. We camped few times in this park and also visited for day use as well. Day use reaches its limit soon so you have to get there early morning.

Alexandra Hunter

We love camping here! Very clean park with a lovely beach. You need to book way in advance or get there really early to get the electrical sights but that's not uncommon.

Marty Wills

Beutifuly maintained ! Spotless showers and restrooms ...

Ruben Bakhshinyan

Amazing place to relax with friends and family. Water is clean and lots of space for picnic tables and BBQ.

Beautiful Sandy Beach, lost of picnics tables and green space to have a nice family /friends day at the beach. Campsites not very private, washrooms very cleaned, para k staff very friendly

ilka zag

Very nice park with lots of sand, very attractive and safe for kids. Love it

Manuel Escamilla

It was an excellent time

Rajesh Kumar

A small park for camping. Pros: - Good beach of decent size. - Big swimming area on the beach. - No fear of Bears. - Modern and clean Washrooms. Cons: - Lots of mosquitos, 24 hours a day. Don't forget to bring mosquito repellent cream. - No store in the park. But city isn't far away. - No bike trails. - Too crowded on Saturdays. One bad personal experience: one of the park guard selectively stopped me from unloading cooler and other usual stuff at the beach and asked me to move on. I would be ok, if he had done it for every one, but people before and after me did the same thing uninterrupted. I confronted him, then he said he didn't noticed others... Really???

Tom H

Great Camping - the staff were very friendly and helpful. Campsites were in great shape... great area if you want to have multiple campsites for your family as the trees in-between the sites are quite open. Medium sized beach with plenty of room for everyone

Pavlo Kuzhel

Great park, amazing beach with soft sand and nice campgrounds. Lake water is clean and beach is shallow for the most part, great for kids

Chris Brush

Love this beach.. small but didn't feel that busy when we went.. nice sand, foot washing station, clean bathrooms, water is shallow in swimming area. Great for families, not very expensive to get in. About 16$ for the day... Have fun!!!!!

O'Brien's DIY

Very green very clean very lush and sandy beach

Lindsey W

Great spot to catch the tailend of summer.

Mike O'Connell

Good camping on Lake Simcoe. Great views. Icefishing off shore. Good canoe and watersports

Christopher Poole

Hands down the best beach on Lake Simcoe! Have been coming here on the boat since I was a kid to swim. The bottom is very sandy so you do not have to wear water shoes!

Ben Scott

Just outside of Orillia, very wide and deep beach, with a shallow swimming area too. Great place for a day at the beach, or spending a quiet summer afternoon. If you plan on going on the weekend, make sure you get in early, the day use area fills in quickly

Humphreys Vintage Audio

Absolutely beautiful.. again

It's great place for camping and beaching. Am sure you will enjoy the time.

The prettiest Beach i have seen in a long time. I swam 2KM out out that lake water point and couldn't get enough of it. It stunning value. Park and washroom facilities well kept as well.

Dianne Eickmeier

Good for swimming

Maryam Dadhiseth

Cleanest beach iv seen!!!

Amanda Lorberg

Gorgeous park and amazing beach!

Rachel Sea

Very nice park. Not much hiking. Quite busy. Very nice beach.

Kandasamy Dinesh

Far from downtown Toronto but one of the best place to enjoy with family and friends. Big parking and beach area to do something. You can easily unload your stuffs from ur vehicle and move to your place through shortcut way beside washroom. First find a spot and then start bring stuffs. Kids won’t return home from Mara. Pet friendly and washroom r not bad and not that much good. At beach side they setup volley ball court but u have to bring ball. Entrance parking you have to pay for vehicle not people.

nancy yang

Pretty good and beautiful provincial park for camping, birding, hunting, swimming, hiking and so on

Sanje Ab

Beutifull and spacious beach. Lots of picnic tables available. Near the beach there is lots of beaver activity and beaver dam as well. Decent size park from less than 2hr drive from GTA. All the indoor and activity closed due to pandemic situation

Maninder Singh

Beach is awesome, shallow water, but no changing room, you will only get toilets and you have to use to do everything

Angela Cadieux

Would love it if it wasn't barricaded off ????

Jay Mistry

Excellent experience, clean beach and nice water. Lots of grass and picnic tables to cook/barbecue on. Washrooms were nice and clean, cleaned very frequently throughout the day too.

KAJAN KUGAN

Good beach and good water

Lilly Patrick

A lovely clean beach!

Daniel Kelloway

Not much to do here except the beach. The beach is really fantastic though, clear water, little to no rocks and the temperature is just right. The campsites however offer zero privacy, and the wardens don’t do anything about loud noises in the morning, so be prepared to be up very early if you’re spending the night. And the mosquitos are horrible

Natasha Carr

Beautiful beach and clear shallow water. Love it here!

Rayyan Khan

Mara is such a beautiful and easy to get to Park. The beach is always groomed, the water is clean and sandy. Maybe a few rocks at the beginning, but mostly sand. Great views of the lake and enjoyable!

Trevor Walker

Absolutely horrible experience with the gate staff today, that will always swing my negative perception of this park unfortunately. We are currently without our own truck to pull our travel trailer and are camping locally (we live in Orillia) so that we can utilize a family members truck to take in and take out our trailer for a couple of weekends worth of camping. Firstly, I get why they want to charge a vehicle fee to allow the truck to come into the park to pickup the trailer. There are just too many folks likely cheating the system. But to only all 30 minutes time to get to the site, hook up a large travel trailer, ensure everything is safe and packed away, check the lights, head to the dump station, wait for the vehicle in front to finish first, then dump the grey and black tanks, tuck everything back away, spray down the area, and get back to the main gate...all within 38 minutes, just to be told that we went over our 30 minute grace period and that the $15 charge would not be refunded...well... that is completely unacceptable service in my opinion. And a completely unrealistic rule for staff to follow. I'm unsure if I will ever return to this Park with a wonderful beach area for my kids to play, and that is unfortunate. Last weekend at a different Provincial Park, we had no issue whatsoever, and in fact there was no charge even discussed at the gate. If any Provincial staff would like to discuss this service with me, I'd be happy to do so.

Melissa Shah

This is by far the best beach we have been to just outside the GTA. There is lots of space on the beach to set up your beach tents, mats etc, there's a grassy lawn with picnic tables, a small playground area with some slides and fun stuff for the kids. Water is cool but lovely for those hot summer days. They have ample parking and washrooms not too far a walk from the beach. Now, the only issue I have ever had (this is the first I'm seeing this behaviour here) is people assuming it's alright to blast their loud music the whole afternoon. When spoken with (twice by the park rangers) they refused to comply and verbally harassed the two rangers. So, if you plan on visiting this beautiful place, please remember this is a park for everyone and you must respect others, and keep your bad habits (of insulting people) at home. And to the Mara Park Rangers, thank you for all that you do!!

Junaid Khan

Nice place for summer

Felipe Gonçalves

Best beach at Lake Simcoe. Period! This beach is one of my favorite spots in Ontario! If you arrive early, you should manage to get a table where you can bbq and enjoy the day. The water is clear and shallow, with a determined perimeter for safety of swimmers. Amazing setup for the little ones!

Jenna Mohabir

The water was very nasty. It smelled really badly and it was not clear at all. The park it self wasnt the cleanest as well

AJ J

Great for beginners! Everyone is really friendly

What a beautiful beach! We really enjoyed this beach. Its a great for families..even with little ones. Water is shallow. The bathrooms are clean. Beach area where the sand is, is not massive...get their early if you want to a spot close to the water.

Joseph Joy

It was a great experience there.

Cin D

Beautiful beach, warm water and clean washrooms!

T Sivakumar

Shallow water, great for kids. Small beach, get there early or they will be at capacity

A very nice beach but a small one. It has plenty of benches and trees for shade. Washrooms are well maintained.

Bowdosa

Manjadi

Too crowded on weekends!!!! This beach is a heaven on weekdays with not too many people around, however it's way too crowded on weekends, which makes it one of the worst places.

Reza Azizi

Shallow and warm water. Perfect for kids. Saturday around noon was so busy, maybe because of ling weekend.

Jazzy Em

Great for having a good time with family and friends. Lots of nice people. And water is clean.

Bon Scott

Cold water but nice! ☺️

Jason Gullett

We bring the boat here. Sand bottom. Lots if room.

rohit sharma

Loved it, we got there at night and it was infested by mosquitoes ???? I haven't seen such vampire mosquitoes ever. But I would love to come back at day time.

Kevin Pike

Wonderful little gem of a park! We used it as an introduction to camping spot for our young kids since it wasn't that far from home. If things went south quick it wouldn't be much to pack and go home. Arrived in a downpour, but that wouldn't stop us. With camp set and the weather cleared, we set out to explore the park. Dampness aside, I was impressed with the facilities provided. Washrooms and showers were clean and tidy. Camp sites were fairly well kept and offered varying degrees of privacy. There is a small playground with a couple of swings near the entrance and visitor parking. The beach was like most that you will find in southern Ontario. Well groomed and generally clear of trash. Kids' playground at the beach kept my kids very entertained. Water was a bit cold when we went, but it was shallow and enjoyable to wade through. There isn't much to explore here, but it is a fairly quiet place to getaway to in the summer and enjoy some relaxing time on the beach.

Beautiful park with a great beach and tranquil waters.

Elijah Hibbert

Great Beach, close to Orillia and a nice homey feel to this campsite.

abtinn

A very nice place where you can find a big and vast beach with many trees around and a small river. They are all located beside the lake and beach area. The beach is totally shallow and very suitable for kids to play. The day we reached there, one of the park staff were busy to find metal pieces under the water with a metal detector for almost one or two hour. He started at 8am and did his job nonstop.

Sinoun Pil

Beautiful and clean park with a nice beach. Campgrounds and picnic areas available as well.

Eng.Tahir Ahmed

Nice picnic area. Great beach and clean water.

Colin Page

Fantastic , close to home

David Duern

Nice and quiet great spot to relax

Sazan Bimo

We didnt have a very good time. Mosquitos and flies were probably tbe main reason but also the dirty water and muddy beach contributed to this. The beach is wide but very small, less then a kilometer and is gated. I find this a shame in the kakes where most of the beach is taken by cottages and private owners with no access to public. With people going crazy to escape covid restrictions in Toronto, the place was overcrowded shut the entrance. A friend with kid who camd late had no chance to enter from the main gate so had to improvise. We carried some stuff from his car, parked near the fence and were stopped and interrogated by a guard and threatend to be fined. I do not think i will set foot here again.

Ahamed Ullah

Went there for a day trip. Excellent location and very clean. You can do BBQ there. Beach is small but very nice. $18 per vechile to enter and you can pay by card. Be early to get a good spot and bench. Definitely a good place for family picnic.

S Haque

What a wonderful location with great ground staff and clean environment, and not to mention the Sandy beach! Will visit again soon.

Skeleton Destroyer

Beautiful

Nicole Fisher

We have visited the beach at Mara Park a few times now. The beach is very clean and not busy at all on weekdays (haven't visited on a weekend yet). The only downfall (and it isn't a big enough deal to reduce my rating by even one star) is that the first couple of feet in the water is really rocky. We wore water shoes last time and had no problems whatsoever.

Shay Jones

Wonderful camp ground and Day beach in the summer. Great place to walk your dogs on the off season

Greg Morris (Adventurous GM)

Nicest beach in Orillia. Hiking trail is really short. @adventurousgm

Shalom Zaidfeld

Well maintained park and beach. Firewood and ice can be purchased and showers and washrooms are well maintained. Perfect camping experience for families.

Jack Ninaber

Mara has a really nice open beach area and the tent sites are decently secluded

Good beach clean water

Cathy Miles

My family and I visited Mara Provincial Park for the day and it was a wonderful experience. The deep, wide sandy beach allowed for safe social distancing. The parking and public washrooms are close to the beach and easily accessible for the elderly or others with difficulty walking. While there, the washrooms were well maintained. There are plenty of trees and picnic tables along the shaded grassy ridge that separates the beach from the forest. I recommend bringing water shoes as there are a couple of rocks when you first enter the water, but nothing that you can't manage with ease even without the shoes. When we arrived the water was calm and warm. Then a storm went through Oro. As it traveled south across the lake, the winds picked up and so did the waves. This made for lots of laughter as the swimmers tried to ride the waves. The winds also brought the warm surface water and suddenly it felt like a tepid bath. The water is very shallow; basically waist height at its deepest point, but some swimmers crossed the buoys for deeper water. At $18 for a day pass, this park provided us with a full day of beach fun.

Ranjit Dhillon

Love this place..shallow beach..clear water

samaneh Yazdani

We found Mara Provincial Park by chance and we decided to pay a visit. I was surprised how the camping site in the park was clean. It is a very nice park with lots of old trees and absolutely amazing. The facilities were clean as well. We visited the beach too. It was a bit crowded and small but lovely. We will definitely go back.

Irina

I'm in love of this place. Perfect undertree resting area. Clean washrooms.

faaiz yousif

So clean so quite very nice view

Alberta Ampomah

Warm shallow water perfect for kids!

Zen Shah

Loved it. But I wish they had a sign on how much entrance cost.like q small sign maybe put the cost up front it was 14 dollars and to pay in cash after a certain time for a day pass. But otherwise well worth the price for sure loved it hope they maintain it this way..

Ralph Blaese

Decent beach. Water was great in th8s heat!

Fiaz Basaria

Very nice camping grounds in the Provincial Partly with a really nice beach front. Camping quiet and fun!

Jamie Chesson

I typically go camping here around once a year. It's a great time, nice to get away from the city and relax. I'm not a huge fan of public washrooms to begin with but considering the circumstances these aren't too bad. If it's raining a lot you can go to Casino Rama, we are pretty good with our tarps so there isn't much of an issue. It's a nice park and not too far from the city. There's a nice beach too.

Adil Iqbal

Lovely place

Ashling Moore

Really cute small beach with shallow water. We spent a gorgeous day there during the week and plan to go again. Not overly crowded and plenty of parking.

Mohammad Dadvaran

It's so clean, wide area, beautiful and awesome for weekend

Claire Jacobs

Great place to go camping. Loved the beach. The water is pretty shallow so it's a good place to take kids.

D W4

Good one

Samantha D

Beautiful Park, really nice! Came here with my family for my cousins birthday. Parking is $17 but not bad you can spend the entire day and swim/bbq with your family/friends.

She Kei Foo

Only visited the beach and not the camping ground. The beach is less crowded with clear/ clean water and a nice atmosphere for family. There is a small playground/ set for kids to ease their way into the beach or back to the car near the parking area. Please note that there is no life guard at the beach. It's a provincial park so it was about $18 for 6 adults and a child.

Hiral Patel

Great Beach

marina k

Drove to the park from Toronto,because on Google it was open, but at the entrance it was closed and the young person from the service even didn't let us use a washroom. We showed him a sign for disability! No reaction! It was almost 6 p.m/ and I don't believe it was still full . Those people like robots, not humans.

Julian Vaca

We came here to visit Sandy Beach and it was a wonderful time. With the right weather, it's a wonderful place to relax. There's a bathroom nearby if need be and two volleyball net posts if you happen to bring your own net. Although the beach may be relatively small in terms of total square footage, it was a relaxing and wonderful time.

Andrew North

Fairly clean. Close parking.

Roman Zelvenschi

Great little beach. The water is shallow to good for kids and families. $18 for a day pass. No in and out privileges.

Lilda Mull

A beautiful park and a fun place to hold a picnic. There are plenty of places for children to play.

Josh Castillo

Mara is a wonderful beach/park to visit in the area. Much better than Couchiching due to a lower parking fee and bigger space for activities. There are many benches and grass or sand areas where you are free to BBQ. There are poles where …

Sunshine_Toronto

What a great little Park!!! We discovered Mara after Covid cancelled our other reservations. Wanting to get away during the week we came across one hydro site left at Mara from Sunday - Thursday and snapped it up. Only one hour & 20 minutes away from home, made it a nice easy drive. Our site was huge and offered 75% privacy. Everyone was friendly at checkin as were the park rangers during our stay! The walk to the beach was about 10 minutes from our site and it is amazing. A little over busy on the Sunday due to day use but the rest of the week was perfect. A gradual sandy walkin and wade out is perfect for the little ones. There is one comfort station and it was kept spotless! The showers were up and running which surprised us. This Park is a hidden gem and we will definitely be back for a longer stay! Because of COVID travel restrictions we decided to enjoy Ontario's lakes and beaches. We spend one full day on Mara's beach. The park well maintained, clean, organized, people trying to keep safe distance between families. Sandy beach and clear water for swimming, what else do we need if we can't go to Caribean.

bre par

small park. good for little ones. beach bathrooms should be improved.

Lee CCA

Very beautiful.

Hamdad Ahsan

Will visit again InshAllah soon, great location for bbq

Sandra M.

Nice place but the campsite isn't enough private is like open concept jaja. The washrooms are OK but when is long weekend I think they have to provide extra personal for cleaning.

Shah Samir

Nice beautiful beach and park.

Diana Cholakov

Great beach! Awesome place to camp with your family or friends. Lots of mosquitoes, bring lots of repellent and some kind of mesh canopy to keep them out.

Alexander James

Clean park and super friendly staff

Sandy Yang

Nice little beach, good if you live near.

Xra der

Amazing beach here great for families lots of space

kevin sz

It was good camping trip, the park not that big but the customer service was good, they kept the washrooms and showers clean most of the time, we had camp site with power , these sites were on higher ground so they dried faster in the Rian, the sites without power were flooded and muddy for days after rain.

JJ Nartates

Nice place to relax, clean, few minutes walk to amenities.. I'm loving it on our 4 days 3 night here on site #70.......

Ronnie

Loved it

Hetal Parikh

Nice place but too many big mosquitoes

Very nice place for the family

bharat patel

Amazing beach, parking available on spot, barbecue allows, clean water, very important is large sandy bank to play lots of sports game on the beach. I love this place and will go again. Be prepare for mosquitoes in conservation area. Little muddy in parking area except excellent place, Monday to Thursday free entry. Alcohol prohibited ????

sophia gao

It is beautiful park. But I want to look for a place for kids to play. The waves on the beach are too big, not suitable for children to play in the water.

Damion Browne

Park was easy to find and pretty clean. Not as beautiful as some parks, but was nice.

Vic Singh

Beautiful beach however it was pouring rain when. I was there do I can't give a full review.

Lachu Sothyvel

Very clean place. Kids love to play sand.

nutellalover

Great shallow, sandy beach for the kids.

Tyler Lanso

Big lots for you to camp and, big beautiful beach and it's clean. Showers and bathroom's that are clean.

Albi Bahar

Small park but very nice lake and area. The camping place could be better needs more privacy. But, it is still a good spot for swimming if you would like to try out the Simcoe Lake. Usually, very quiet and calm. Doesn't get very crowded.

Saptarshi Ray

Nice place for family outing. There are play areas for kids, volleyball court, wide sandy beach. Becomes a little less pleasant in the evening due to the mosquitoes :)

Yahav Barnea

The camp ground was well kept, bathrooms were clean and the beach was great!

Samantha Mcvarish

Beautiful park, even covered in snow

Ross Wallen

Park was very nice. Sites are large, semi private. My ONLY complaint was the swarms of mosquitoes. They were the worst ive ever seen. Be sure to brings lots of big spray because you will need it

Alison Morrison

Pot Smokers in abundance. What is wrong with the Province of Ontario. No where for families to go any more. $ 17 to park. I paid for this Crowded

Steve

The beach was nice, some small stones 2ft into the water and goes on for a out 8 ft and then it's nice Sandy bottom. Water is clear the further you go in. Trace bits of seaweed but nothing major. Great experience, everyone keep their physical distance. And the beach was not overly crowded.

banafshful

Beautiful beach ! It’s very peaceful! Will definitely come back.

Brandie Mosher

Mara is a beautiful park , a great beach area that is kept well clean with a small park for the kids to play on as well. The sites are very large most of them and the washroom and showers are kept clean as also. Definitely recommend

Kim Brown

Very disappointed for a Provincial Park. We have a 32 foot trailer which was next to impossible to get into our site and we are experienced campers . The sites are close together and uneven. The flies and mosquitos are terrible. Grounds are well kept staff friendly nice beach.

Lynn Zupan

Mustapha Khan

Very nice beach. Love the shade trees. Water was great ????

Rise up

Nice park and beach, not many trails for walking. Great showers.

Karthy Utha

Excellent beach ⛱ washroom well maintained

Rafaela Fernandes

This is the perfect place for families with kids. There is a long distance of shallow water and the water is warm. It is possible to do a barbacue. It also has camping spots available. There is also a fee to enter this park.

aman siddiqui

Nice beach, play area for kids, clean water for swimming

Morena

Great place to go and spend the time with family, or solo (hey I get it, it's nice to have alone time away from loved ones haha). You can do BBQ's, no alcohol is permitted, or be prepared to pay the price. There are also benches for you to settle down nicely, and public washrooms.

Mariana Perez

Pet friendly and amazing plate to be with my family

H Menon

Veneel D'Souza

Went for a camp here 2 weeks ago. It's a cozy small park and the tents are fairly close to each other so privacy is an issue. However the beach was good and sandy although small.

Wendy Thomas

Beautiful beach and good sites. Very close to Orillia, for shopping and restaurants. NEW Starbucks close by, so drive past the Timmy's for 3 minutes and get a real great coffee or more.

Hameed

It is not clean and small beach area.

Jessica Harrison

Beautiful park. Sites are decent size and distance apart. Staff very friendly. Clean from litter. Quiet. Good escape for the weekend. Close to a timmies which is always appreciated. Outhouses could be cleaned more frequently though.

Jimmy Sim

(Translated) I went camping with my family for 3 days and 2 nights, and it was quiet and very good. It was difficult because there were a lot of mosquitoes due to the wet weather with a bit of rain, but I think it is a good memory. Still, I think it's a great place to spend a quiet time with your family. The beach was not very big, but it was good, and the shower and toilet were cleaned and disinfected daily or frequently, so it was very clean. The staff were also very friendly and frequented by car, so I could enjoy camping with my family more safely. It's an hour and a half away from Toronto, so I'm thinking of coming back again next year. It was a good memory. (Original) 2박3일 가족과 캠핑을 하였는데 조용하고 너무 좋았습니다. 날자를 잘못 선택하여 약간의 비가 와서 습한 날씨라 모기가 많아서 힘들긴 했지만 좋은 추억이라 생각 합니다. 그래도 가족들과 조용히 지내기 참 좋은 장소라 생각 됩니다. 비치도 그다지 크지는 않았지만 좋았고 샤워실과 화장실도 매일 또는 자주 청소와 소독을 하여 매우 청결 했어요. 직원들도 매우 친절하고 자주 차량으로 순회하여 보다더 안전하게 가족과 캠핑을 즐길수가 있었습니다. 토론토에서 1시간 30분 거리 이기에 내년에도 다시 오려고 생각중 입니다. 좋은 추억 이였습니다.

Toula Duarte

Beautiful area to spend a day swimming and picnicking.Water is very clean and grounds well maintained but the washrooms need to be renovated.Definetely coming back.

Anastasia Efimkina

They opened new trails, pretty amazing

Alena Sukhina

Beautiful park and sandy beach

Karen Misek

Small park with approximately 100 sites. Our site wasn't very private but during the week it wasn't too busy. Beautiful beach within walking distance.

Keith D

Nice park with pleasant staff and an excellent beach but thats about it, the bathrooms are cleaned but only the floor , sinks and toilets not the walls of the stalls or the bathroom itself.

Sachikkumaran Balasundaram

Nice place

Nick C

great beach area nice and clean and sand is nice and soft. water is great for kids nice and shallow no rocks and can go far out and still shallow. plenty of shady spots and picnic area right off the beach which is great for families. First time and certainly not the last.

Sheri Mitchell

It was beautiful. Lots of ice fishing

(Translated) The atmosphere was good and it wasn't crowded, so I visited with kids every year, but now, as time passes, I have another fun with good friends~ (Original) 분위기도 좋고 번잡하지 않아서 매년 애들하고 방문했는데 이젠 세월이 흘러 좋은 친구들과 함께해서 또다른 즐거움이 있네요~

Great pier and excellent lookouts on the trail!

Jeanette Ignacio

Its fantastic place

Jason Luu

Nice view

Shazia Raja

It is a really nice park and the beach with lots of trees and a lot of space for kids to play sometimes in summer hot months they have a ban on open fires so if you are planning to have a charcoal BBQ make sure you call ahead and ask them if the ban is in effect you can still use your propane BBQ but not the charcoal one.

Ravi Ramdeo

Amazing place.

Juma Fong

I use to like this Mara beach, today I saw so many people are do the dishes at the area that people wash a Sand out from their foot, I saw one by one bring a pot, a plates, to clean over there, they throw all the food on the ground, so duty. And I suprise no body come around to check at all. Usually I saw all the stuff come to check all the time and 3 car park at the handicap permit. Even though they don't have a permit to park there, this is not respect for people who need that parking at all. No police and stuff come to check ????????, I don't think next year we are going back

Jesse McCauley

Great beach but sites not so private. Not much activities but all round a good park.

June Pye

Beautiful scenery

Jini Byun

Terrible Experience - Discrimination from park staff On entrance, they said they only accept cash and I had to back after using ATM. Then what happened was that they said they did not have change when I pay with cash (50$). It was around 4 PM. How they allow others to get in the park? It totally does not make sense for it We came to realize staffs (one for office, other for park maintenance lady) did not want us to enter the park. It is obviously "discrimination" for some reason. Unless others prepare 18.00 cash, it is easy to be hurt and waste time. DO NOT GO THERE.

Brian Broerse

Great park. Nice staff. No kids programs like other parks. Beach is great. We had site 5 and it was great.

Faisal Khalsai

Small beach with clean shallow water

Correy Styles

A very nice park, very small so not overwhelming amounts of people. Only one beach with no pet access so puppers couldn't play in the water.

janny chan

Don't camp here! The entire camping area is a swamp. There are tons of flies and mosquitoes at the campsites. At night, the bull frogs are so loud, it's impossible to fall asleep. Sap from the trees coats the tent and car with a sticky film. The beach is overcrowded on weekends.

Hema Ramdass

The water is clean, clear and calm today

Judi Saintonge

Needs more bathrooms

Renat G

The best rangers of any provincial park I've ever been to, work here.

Mon Arch

Great place for a day trip. Kids-friendly beach.

Nasly Granada

Good place to be with the family!

Mabel Chan

We come here with friends and family every summer. More peaceful and quiet than going to the beaches in Toronto. It does get quite busy on weekends though.

W G

Found this spot after doing a google search knowing I would be in the Orillia area. It’s a great spot if you are just looking for a nice quiet beach, some hiking trails or a campground. There is ample parking. The beach itself is large with nicely groomed sand for pleasant walking. It is not very deep in the roped in area for swimming so it’s great for kids. I deducted one star because of the washroom. They could do a better job of cleaning it and there were no paper towels and the hand dryer was not working. Also, Mara does not have a change room near the beach. Only the above mentioned washroom. But overall a nice place to visit at a reasonable cost; approximately $14 per vehicle for day use.

Jess R

Great place to send some free time. There is a huge beach that is well maintained. The park is really inviting with plenty of simple trails for families to tour and explore. Lots of frogs and great fishing for those with a boat!

Chris Henwood

Nice spot for camping. Quiet during the week, but beach gets a little too busy on weekends. Many, many very loud frogs may keep you awake back in the area by sites 96-107.

L Edwards

So beautiful! Small and quiet. A perfect way to spend any weekend!

Adife Unal

Cathy MacDonald

Mara has a fabulous, uncrowded beach. Washrooms, picnic shelter, lots of picnic tables and beach volleyball nets. Worth paying to get in to avoid the overcrowded beaches in town.

Jackson Pham

This place is fantastic and so close to the city

Andrew Cruickshank

This small park had a good sandy beach with picnic shelters and a short hike through the woods by the lake. We went on a weekday and there were still quite a few people -. I'd imagine it's a popular spot on summer weekends

Luke Sutton

Xenophobic beach rules and swampy bug sites. The campgrounds while beautiful are very swampy, I was practically carried away by mosquitoes. Took our dog for a walk and was greeted by a provincial park ranger that within two minutes of reaching the beach were kicked off. Our dog was the silent well behaved dog he always is, but behaviour doesn't matter. NO DOGS ON THE SAND! Dogs are allowed on grass but not sand.its a little known fact that dogs make sand filthy - you know the stuff that's outside, dirt yeah it's sparkling clean unless a dog touches it. Let me tell you, my dog is cleaner than most of the sea lions basting themselves in toxic sun screen wallowing in their own juices. 0/10 would not return.

Kuldeep Dhaliwal

Good for family picnic

Joel Lees

A wonderful place to take family for the day or for a weekend. The last time we went there was an intact beaver dam just off the beach that I was able to show to the kids which was a great experience.

Jeff M

Provincial park for camping and day use. This park has a very large and well maintained beach for campers and day use people. 9f you like spending you days on the beach while camp, this is a great park for that. It's also very close to a Tim Hortons and the city of Orillia. Barrie is only 30 minutes by car. Not a park if you're into hiking. Strongly recommend buying local firewood around the area as what's provided is hit and miss. Don't bring firewood from home due to invasive species.

Erik Neale

Great camping site and park! The beach is fantastic and the trails. The people you have around your campsite will ultimately determine how good your stay is lol

Rodolfo Fiallos

The beach is not small with two volley ball courts and a playground. Shaded area with picnic tables available. When full they allow loud music at the beach which is bad.

Vladimir Stoyanov

Too many moskitos and too much protocol following from staff

Alvin Villanueva

The water and beach were clean. Nice place for paddleboarding if there are no strong winds.

John Hubbard

Fab beach. Busy on weekends.

Vekaash A

Perfect place for some casual camping. Beach is nice and the camp is clean. Washrooms are also decent.

Isabelle Payne

Love the beach. Great swimming for little ones.

b b

Nice campground to stay at or just get a day pass. Big beach with ample room even when the beach is jam packed in the summer time. The water off the beach remains shallow for a long time making it a great place for kids to swim. Has a covered area for people who reserve it during peak times of the year. It rained when we were their yesterday but we made the most of our day ! Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice family friendly campground.

Norm Chidley

Very enjoyable, had our grandchildren with us. Clean , shady and relatively private sites. Beach is good for small children sandy and shallow. Staff are helpful and keeping facilities clean during covid-19 . We had no issues social distancing.

David Eli

Not a lot of hiking trails but a great beach. Secluded and quiet, enjoyed it.

Kim Mattice

Very nice walk.

Allan Zoleta

There are two areas here: Beach and the other one is a Camping grounds. I went to the Beach area. Plenty of room, lots of sea shells, weeds and rocks. It hurts going in or going out to the water.The washrooms are nasty, not regularly being check and clean.The garbage/recycle bins are regularly check and emptied.

Mark Gannon

Beautiful beach. The water was lovely and shallow. Great place for kids!

Len Stemmler

It was great

Theresa Leilich

Had a great time! Was a very quiet park! Wpuld recommend it and would go back again.

Geneviève Dupuis

So much mosquitoes because there was a swamp next to the campsites. Very quiet. The beach is close to the campsites but its very rocky and getting in the water is quite inconfortable.

Elizabeth O

Beautiful lake and beach

Emran Toronto

It's a nice close by camping place

Fred Chard

Very Quiet and Peaceful .Enjoyed the hiking trail around the park.

Jonathan Swiecki

Camp ground placed in a swamp so plenty of bugs and mosquitos can be expected. Far more than other campgrounds.

Bruce Langston

Love Lake Simcoe area! Camping & fishing at its Best!

Mike Kee

Great little beach on Lake Simcoe. Safe for small kids (shallow within the swimming area).

Sinthu Kuna

I was skeptical about going to this beach but I'm glad I did. The beach is beautiful and the water is very clean. I read reviews saying you can't barbecue there but this is false. You can most definitely bbq as long as its a propane bbq. Due to fire hazards coal bbqs are not accepted. There are volleyball nets, so no need in bringing your own. If you go early you can grab picnic benches. I would definitely recommend this beach!

Gevorg Mikayelyan

Jaimee Joseph

Great beach, not too busy since they have a capacity limit, the washrooms are not really clean though

Heather Lewis-Cochrane

Cute park, sites aren't very private

Greg Bruns

Smaller campground so the sites were quite close together but the facilities were very well kept. The beach is large, clean, and sandy. The park staff and wardens were all very relaxed and overall it was a great spot to spend the weekend. 15 mins from Orillia which is really handy if you forget something!

Elham Fard

Karyn Noble

Great..beautiful beach..the only negative is our electric site the breaker keep going off..#23

Mickey I

Nice clean and friendly beach very recommended for kids and families. Also you can camp there!

Joe Arbo

Great beach

John Maier

Beautiful park not to far from Toronto. The privacy is great with the exception of the pull through section. The park is not that large with a single comfort station that is in average condition. The site we were on was huge with decent privacy. The trees are also large and old which adds a nice feel. The dump station is new and well maintained...just make sure you don't drive off the edge. It has a large beach area for the kids to play with a gradual slope into the water. Great for young kids to swim. The day use area can get busy with families from the GTA. Over all it was a good little park.

Travelwithsujee Sujee

Small area but clean water. Parking fee is 18$. No alcohol allowed.

Miranda Bell

Very busy, loud at night difficult to fill water tank, and extremely buggy everywhere The beach was over crowded and dirty People were driving the wrong way on the roads We will not be going back to Mara any time soon

Tom Leone

Really nice Beach campsites are okay but not the greatest

Large Beach access. Cute park on the beach for kids to play. Room to explore trails. This was a great sized day-tripping spot with toddlers. Public washrooms available during COVID. Lots of Canadian geese and consequently poop, so be mindful of that.
