Calling this a resort feels like a stretch. It’s rundown, the restaurant’s been closed for who knows how long, and entry is $15 per person. For four people in a car, that’s $60, which seems steep to me. It’s basically a dressed-up barbecue area. When it’s crowded, there’s barely room to move, music blares everywhere, and kids are left screaming unsupervised. There are nicer, cheaper places around.
The sand was clean, the lake water warm, and the views beautiful. We had a really delightful day at this private beach by the lake. The one thing that spoiled it was groups playing music at full volume. The rules are posted at the entrance, but beach management doesn’t seem to enforce them, which disturbs people who came to enjoy the peace and nature. I hope they pay more attention to the rules so everyone can have a pleasant visit.
We left after 45 minutes and wouldn’t recommend it. There wasn’t much space, and once the spots by the lake were taken, our view was just rows of cars along the waterfront. Some were parked at an angle to make a little private area. The grounds looked neglected, with patchy grass, and people seemed free to park anywhere, blast music, play volleyball, or do whatever they wanted. Clothes were scattered around, with some hanging outside the motels. At first I thought there was a garage sale going on. We’d seen the resort from a boat and thought it looked beautiful, but we visited on a Saturday and paid what I believe was $15 for each adult and $7.50 per child.
The water stays shallow quite a ways out, so it works well for kids and people who can’t swim. There’s usually an ice cream truck and a stall selling floaties and other things. We come with family and friends for a beach day and some barbecue. It can get busy, as you’d expect for a spot like this, and the washrooms, especially the women’s side, can have a wait. The guy taking payment at the gate is always friendly and funny, and the staff have treated us well. I always have a good time, and the crowd’s been enjoyable. Just so you know, pets aren’t allowed at this resort.
Our family has been coming to Pennisula Resort for 30 years, and we plan to keep vacationing here. It’s peaceful, safe, and friendly, and we look forward to coming every year. The place is clean and well kept inside and out. The owners are warm-hearted and treat us like family, while the staff are friendly and always meet our needs. We’ve also made friends with families who return regularly.
