New Review for Bonnechere Provincial Park

A camper from Petawawa gave Bonnechere Provincial Park 4 out of 5 stars and wrote this review.
"Bonnechere Provincial Park is a wonderful campground. Whether tenting or rv'ing, there is a spot for everyone. We spent alot of time there in the fall; the foliage was a beautiful sight to behold and we almost had the campground to ourselves! I highly recommend this campground facility for families, young and old, as it is a peaceful escape to nature with all the amenaties close at hand. We especially enjoyed the fact that it was open later in the season than most other parks. The non electrical sites were prefered over the electrical sites because we found the latter a little sparse of vegetation and not quite as private as those without electricity."
Bonnechere Provincial Park is located in Killaloe which is in Eastern Ontario. According to Ontario Parks, "The meandering Bonnechere River once carried furs and pine logs out of this Ottawa Valley region. Now canoes move along its leisurely, ever-changing path to Round Lake where there is a buoyed, sandy beach. Trails pass an old beaver pond and marshes. An historic depot depicts the life of early forest rangers."
