I have been there with my buddies on a cycling expedition. I think cycling should have been at the top of the list as it allows you to truly explore the park and get acquainted with it.
Campground one of the noisiest we have ever stayed in. We camped the long weekend in September, and the campground was terrible with al l the noise from barking dogs and loud radios. It did not matter time of day, always excess noise. We stayed at our campsite most of the weekend, and we did not see one security vehicle. Other than the lack of enforcement, this is a beautiful park. Over 60km of bike trails most of which are well maintained. The beach is beautiful and stretches for about 8 km. The hiking trails are well maintained and usually less than a km long. If it wasn’t for the unprofessional handling of security, this park is a gem.
