Ferris Provincial Park is in Campbellford, and is a short drive into town from the park itself. Make sure to visit Doohers Bakery on Main St - delicious donuts & other yummy treats - go early or you will be disappointed.
We have camped twice at Ferris, both times in the fall. There are 163 sites here, some more private than others. The park is situated along side the Trent River - one summer downfall is that it does not have a beach area for swimming. We love the hiking here - about 10km of trails - our favourite two being the Ranney Falls trail which walks along the falls & you cross the suspension bridge and the River Gorge Trail. Benches are set up here and there along the trail so it makes for a great spot to stop for a picnic when taking in the sights and sounds of nature.
Both the times we have been, the electrical site areas have been packed and a good amount of the regular sites have been booked. Easy to cycle around the park and never any rowdy campers when we have been there. There is a small playground area and a boat launch. Pete has never fished here although likely will bring the kayak on future camping trips.
