Sandbanks offers camping and day use opportunities and roofed accommodation rentals. Day use is available for trail use throughout the park and at three different beaches: Outlet Beach, Dunes Beach and Lakeshore Beach. Car camping is available with over 500 campsites in five campground areas: Outlet River A & B, Cedars in the East Lake sector, Richardson’s in the West Lake sector and the Woodlands Campground located between East and West Lake sectors of the park.
Outlet A, with its many waterfront sites, is very popular with campers. This is a busy campground with sites that are grouped relatively close together. Outlet B offers a bit more privacy with some sites along the Outlet River and a loop with electrical pull-through sites.
Cedars is a family-oriented campground offering more sheltered, private campsites. It has less traffic than the Outlet campgrounds, but the beach is still close by.
The Woodlands Campground offers both shady and sunny sites. Sunny sites are preferred by fall campers when temperatures are cooler. All sites in the Woodlands Campground offer electrical service. Swimming, boating and the Discovery Centre are only a short distance away.
The West Lake Campground has 75 electrical campsites suitable to large RVs; many of the campsite are pull through sites. This campground is located across from the Dunes Day Use area.
Richardson’s Campground also offers a mix of sunny and shady sites.
Sandbanks has two roofed accommodations. Jacques Cottage, located on the shore of Lake Ontario, sleeps up to 4 and is a short bicycle ride from Lakeshore and Dunes beaches. Maple Rest Heritage House is a four bedroom Victorian house that sleeps up to 8, located close to Dunes Beach and all of the park’s trails.
