Peninsula Resort - Pefferlaw, Ontario

Today we spent a wonderful day at a private beach by the lake. The place is amazing: clean sand, warm lake water, and beautiful views. Truly delightful!

However, I have to point out one downside. It's a pity that the beach management doesn't enforce the rules posted at the entrance. It's especially annoying when groups blast their music at full volume. It ruins the atmosphere and disturbs other visitors who want to enjoy the peace and beauty of nature.

I hope that in the future, the beach management will pay more attention to rule enforcement to ensure a pleasant experience for everyone.

My experience at “Peninsula Resort near the Holmes Point Park” at Simcoe Lake was extremely disappointing. We visited today, and there were over a thousand people in the park, making the space feel extremely crowded and small.

This resort charges $15 per person to use the green space and private beach, but the capacity is nowhere near adequate for the number of people allowed in. Since our friends had brought a dog, they couldn’t enter the park and we had to leave. When we trying to exit, we were stuck in traffic for nearly three hours due to the overwhelming number of cars.

This situation was extremely unsafe and showed a complete disregard for safety regulations. It seems the sole focus of the resort owners is to maximize profit without any concern for the comfort and safety of the visitors.

The park allows an unlimited number of visitors, resulting in excessive crowding and a lack of privacy. In case of an emergency, it would be very difficult to exit the park. Additionally, the restroom and changing facilities were filthy and inadequate.

This park has not only degraded the local environment but also provided an extremely unpleasant and unsafe experience for visitors. I would never recommend visiting this place.

I hope this review helps address the issues at this resort and creates a better experience for future visitors.

Absolutely going back,
you need to get early in the morning for the better spots though.
The mushrooms were absolutely clean
The beach was shallow and Sandy underneath
It is $15 for adults and have a price for kids
Which is worth the beach.
It’s fantastic for kids because the weather never goes deep
Thanks for the management .

We decided to visit this resort as we saw it when we were on a boat and it looks beautiful. We went on a Saturday. I believe we paid an entrance fee of $15 an adult and $7.50 for kids. The first thing we noticed when we arrived was all the clothes scattered and some hangs outside the motels. I thought at first there was a garage salegping on. The aesthetic of the surroundings is not good. The grass (starting to bald)has not been taken care of because once inside, you can park anywhere, and you can do whatever you want. You can blast your music, play volleyball, etc. The place is small because if you have to take your car where you want your spot and if the spot I front of the lake are taken then you don't have any more view of the lake but instead your view are the cars of all the people lined up by the waterfront and some of them parked their car slanted so that it create privacy for them. The place is a disaster, we left after 45 minutes. Would I recommend it? No

The resort was absolutely stunning, you can bbq and play music with breathtaking views. However, I was quite disappointed by the state of the washrooms. Despite the beautiful surroundings, the lack of cleanliness in the washrooms was a significant downside to an otherwise lovely experience. Employ someone to clean it throughout the days.

We usually come here for the day to enjoy a bit of bbqing and a nice beach day with our family and friends. It does get busy, but for a spot like this is expected. The gentleman at the gate that takes payment is always friendly and funny. The washrooms can get busy, especially for the ladies' side, but, again, it gets busy. The water is shallow and stays shallow quite a bit out, so it's great for kids and non swimmers. They usually have an ice cream truck there as well as a stall that has floaty toys and things. I always have a great time here. The crowd is always enjoyable and the staff have always been friendly to us. And FYI there are no pets allowed at this resort.

The resort was extremely busy, and they allowed anyone to enter without considering how overcrowded it became. The entrance fee was $15 per person, which felt expensive considering the overcrowding and the unclean bathrooms. The seats weren't enough at all.
