Birch Haven Campground is on the right. From Canada: Take Highway 401 (Macdonald Cartier Fwy) to 137 South. At the border 137 will merge onto Highway 81. At Exit 50 S turn onto Route 12 South. Go 15 miles straight thru light to Rt 12E, 2 1/2 miles on right. Birch Haven Campground is on the right.
Well run, seasonal seasonal RV and trailer site. Own private boat launch and private beach area for the residents. A best bet, head and shoulders pick amongst the other run down neighboring Trailer Parks.
Staff members are extremely rude and lie. As new lot members we were told by who I’m assuming was the grounds manager that we couldn’t have our jet skis on the lot ground which we own unless we registered them. As we were settling into our lot we were again approached by the grounds manager and his higher up saying we were told (which we weren’t) that we needed to register our truck. Before we could explain to the Supervisor what we were told by his staff member he cut us off and told us we need to leave the grounds. He literally said verbatim “I don’t have to deal with this, leave”. These people were very rude, unprofessional and the grounds manager told his supervisor something completely different to what he told us. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this site only bc of the staff members. Other than that, it’s a nice spot.
My family has been coming here for over 30 years, we absolutely love it here! The staff has been working hard to make the campground better every year. Our new pavilion and playground are awesome! The beach and boat launch are just steps away. The management staff is friendly and helpful.
I came here as a kid in the 90s and early 2000s, came back again as a seasonal camper in 2019 and it just keeps getting better. There is always something for the kids to do; between the awesome playground, beach, weekly kids’ activities and crafts, BINGO, hayrides, bands, seasonal picnic, Christmas, Halloween, Haunted House, basketball courts, horseshoe pits, bonfire for Ring of Fire , etc. We always have so much fun! Super affordable weekend sights and seasonal camp sites. On calm days, you can launch your kayak or canoe at the boat launch. You can also launch your boat or jet ski at the private boat launch. I highly recommend Birch Haven!
