I found the park very clean and neat , good size sites beach was in good shape lots of places to walk and ride my bike though staying on the bluff was a steep walk back to camp for an old guy the $32 a night included all the fees and service charges. had no trouble with connectivity with the 2 bars

This is only our second trip with our new travel trailer so we stayed close to home but had a
wonderful time here. Ontario is beautiful with great fishing for those inclined. There is a boat launch right in the park. Water levels are very high here now so be aware that there is a lot of beach erosion. The electric sites sit up on a bluff so they were in no danger of getting flooded.
The sites are mostly wooded and good size. No water at each site but plenty of spots to fill up around the loop. There are large areas of field for kids and dogs with a nice nice playground.
The bathrooms left a bit to be desired. Small and only two showers available for the entire loop. No view of the lake from any of the electric sites unless you want to dry camp there is one section where the lake is in view.

First, when we arrived, we were told by the lady in the office to go look around and write down sites we liked and she would set us up. So after hauling our RV around some of the loops, we wrote down site numbers and went back. She then told us (kind of rude!) that all but one loop was already booked and full!. She couldn't tell us that at first?? She then circled the only sites that where available in a loop away from where we had looked. Partiers obviously like this loop. Our neighbors even left a day early because of the noise and partying. The sites are not very level and are not separated. I would only stay here if I could book a decent site down below that was separate from others. I suggest they find someone better for the front desk. In a wheelchair or not, she is not good for the job. Someone should patrol the area for loud noise & parties. The washrooms were very nice and clean but having to run the water for 5-7 minutes to get hot water is such a waste but that's what the sign said to do. We had nice walks at the beach for sunsets. Beach is good. Sites have quite a bit of trash that is not picked up by hosts or visitors. Very rough road going in. It's great that it's on the lake but it has issues.

Spent a couple days here to rest before our drive to Florida. This was after the season so many sites we available with the second night being half price. We choose one of only two sites with electric up on the bluffs. You will need a long electric cord if you choose one of these sites. Bathroom was clean and we had good service with straight talk cell. The park is quite big so we did some biking and walking. The roads in the parks are not in very good shape and our site was not level. The sites are also very close together. We would stay again but only after season.

We have stayed here with friends several times, Our sites have been quite large and staff very helpful, The beach is large if you like to spend time on a beach ...not me but very nice. Fishing is very good and boating opportunities unlimited. Some nice wineries and breweries nearby and if your there in the summer the Renaisance Fair is a great time (medieval fair). The park is very large and hiking is great. Really enjoy this campground

This is my 3rd time at Fair Haven Beach Campground and I try to come at least once a year as it is an hour from my home in Rochester, NY.
I have a 20 ft class C motor home so I stay in the one electric loop on the bluffs.
Prime spaces are on the outside of the loop facing the lake. (75 & 77 are large and shaded with a lot of privacy… 83, 87 and89 are smaller and partly shaded with decent privacy and good water views.. They aren’t lake front but have lake views through the trees.
If you can do without electric hookup there is one row of sites on the bluff directly across from the water.
I’m here during the week leading up to memorial weekend so it’s very quiet and the two sites on either side of me are empty. If they were full we would be on top of each other. Even so, it’s a lovely, friendly campground.
No water or sewer hookups but plenty of places to fill your water tank in the loop. Convenient dump station on the way out.
Bathrooms are a bit dated but clean and hot water showers are available.
Electric can be a little distant in some sites so extension cord would be a plus.
Sites are not all level so make sure you have blocks.
There is a dedicated swimming beach and some beautiful hiking trails.. large playground for the kids and it is dog friendly.
