Manage episode 475402723 series 2820984
Welcome to our fifth season of the RV Canucks Podcast! In this episode, we’re pitting two beloved Ontario Provincial Parks against each other in a “Battle of the Beach Towns” showdown: The Pinery (by Grand Bend) vs. Sauble Falls (by Sauble Beach). We compare everything from vibe and amenities to campsites, facilities, dog-friendliness, and more.
Main Topics Covered
- Park Highlights: Overview of each park’s unique features and atmosphere.
- Beach Town Vibe: Grand Bend vs. Sauble Beach — how do these two iconic Ontario beach towns stack up?
- Campground Facilities: Site sizes (big-rig friendliness), comfort stations, drop toilets, and dump station access.
- Dog Friendliness: Policies, pet-friendly beach areas, and recommended walks.
- Popularity & Ambiance: Why The Pinery has a 4.7 Google rating, while Sauble Falls sits at 4.4 — and what these numbers might mean for your next trip.
- Big Rig Tips: Sauble Falls can be tight, while The Pinery is known for accommodating large RVs.
- Our Final Verdict: Which park might be better for your camping style?
