This weekend we camping at Point Farms Provincial Park off of Lake Huron. It's our first time here and the beach is enormous!!! I highly recommend visiting this place as its great for families. White sandy beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see. Water is cold but refreshing with only a little bit of seaweed. The shallow end extends quite far out giving you lots of room to have fun without getting in anyone's way. Bugs aren't too bad either. There is no firewood available within the park but a 30 second drive north outside the park marks a small variety store where you can buy all your camping needs such as fire starters, wood, kindling, and so on. The closest grocery store is about a 20 minute drive south towards Goderich called Zehers. This parks marks our 30th provincial park in Ontario. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/181877/42b52788-5b5f-4b68-826f-80178ef0bfc5.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Point Farms Provincial Park 10 min drive \- 12.2 km - Port Albert Beach 5 min walk \- 0.5 km - Huron County Museum 17 min drive \- 21.5 km - The Livery Theatre 17 min drive \- 22.2 km - Cove Beach 19 min drive \- 23.3 km ### Restaurants - New Orleans Pizza 7 min drive - T-Money's Cottage Bar 16 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Wiffen Cottage located just a 3 minute walk to the sandy public beach! pet-friendly? ### How much is parking? ### What time is check-in at Wiffen Cottage located just a 3 minute walk to the sandy public beach!? ### What time is check-out at Wiffen Cottage located just a 3 minute walk to the sandy public beach!? ### Where is Wiffen Cottage located just a 3 minute walk to the sandy public beach! located? ## Have a question?

Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kim B. Jul 9, 2021 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Disappointment Where to start? The owner called me to let me know that they cottage was ready for me and to advise me that his car broke down in the driveway and that he would remove it "at some point". Well he didn't remove it and where his car was parked was the direct path to the cottage so I had to maneuver around his car to unpack my overpacked car. The cottage smells terrible; a musty smell. Now onto the beds....the bed on the main floor (the queen) is rock hard and you tilt to the right. luckily I brought my own bedding. The bedding that they had on the bed was stained and had been mended with iron on patches. Gross! The comforter has not been washed for years (I'm guessing). The pillows were disgusting and should not have been on the bed at all. Again, thankfully, I brought my own pillows. I was told by my friend that her accommodations upstairs were not any different. The upstairs has a huge slant on the stairs so be prepared to bump your head. There is no air conditioning on the main floor so be prepared for that! The outside furniture has never been cleaned so make sure you bring lots of cleaning supplies. The kitchen is so old and disgusting that we didn't even cook. I would NEVER recommend this place and I truly wish that I could get my money back. My friend and I didn't even stay for the entire 5 days; we left a day earlier. I couldn't stand it any longer it was so disgusting. I could be that this cottage is meant for people who hunt or fish. I'm not sure but, for me, I was disgusted. ##### Kim B.
