This park is just off the freeway and the noise is a major draw back. The park was clean and the clerk helpful, but the things offered on their website are no longer available, like pick up by Greyline Tours, short distance to bus/train. The pot holes in the park are so deep you had to drive on the grass to get around them. Stay here when nothing else is available, or you can sleep with lots of noise. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A typical KOA - nothing super special but close enough to Toronto to get in and out OK. The WIFI worked well. The playground was a little run down and the campground is a few hundred yards from the Interstate, so noise was pretty high. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wow, what a full service campground! Very friendly staff who can arrange bus trips and discount tickets to many of Toronto’s attractions and tours. Just can't understand the previous reviews. No cable, but we received 11 very strong stations on our amplified antenna. Washrooms were spotless and fairly modern. This park is a must for anyone who wants to see Toronto but avoid the traffic - we watched as the staff patiently arranged several bus tours to activities for a German couple. I don't assess children's activities as we don't have any. Noise from the 401 detracts from a perfect score, but you can’t hear it with the AC on. We camped here in a Motorhome.
NOT recommended. On their independent website at http://www.torontowestkoa.on.ca/facilities.html they state "we are constantly working to provide and upgrade the facilities, security and comfort features". They're not even halfway there yet. They advertise WiFi, but it's only available in the main building. There's little for children to do and for adults wanting peace and quiet, you definitely won't find it here! The park is an open field right beside Hwy 401 so you hear the traffic all night long. Management staff are unfriendly and unwelcoming ... definitely not suited to this type of business. As another poster here said, there are plenty of other much better campsites in this area so don't waste your money here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I do not know the answers to some of these questions because managers of the facility do not allow potential customers to enter the park for a drive through and only provide information on a sheet that is provided in a kiosk outside the barrier that prevents entry. I was told that I could park my vehicle outside the park and walk around (in the rain) if I wished. My presence at the "barrier" was clearly an annoyance to the management on duty. Since I chose not to walk around strange campgrounds in the rain, since management would not allow me to drive-thru the facility, and since I never purchase without at least looking at what I am buying, I left. I will not return. There are many other campgrounds in the area that are managed/owned by people who are more then willing to let you drive around and check things out, who go out of their way to be hospitable, and who clearly want your business. I encourage you to give them a try. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
