点评:We visited George Lake Campground at Killarney Provincial Park for May 24 weekend in 2024. The staff are welcoming and helpful, check in was a breeze and the park itself has a lot to offer. We met up with friends staying at a different site close by, walked down to the lake and enjoyed watching several water snakes go by while hikers and other campers/day trippers enjoyed the area. We didn’t feel it was overly busy at the lake and had the space we desired to enjoy swimming and relaxing. Our campsite was clean, spacious and had two picnic tables and a fire pit with attached grill. Hardwood was for sale for $10/bag and kindling for $7.50/bag. Bring an axe, the hardwood needs to be cut down a bit. Lots of Killarney merch in the store.
A few negatives, we found the sites rather close together (we were in 129) so not a lot of privacy. The bugs were bad which is obviously not the park’s fault, it didn’t help that the area between sites was a bit swampy/wet which attracted more blackflies than I’d imagine some drier years would have. The cleanliness of the bathrooms (comfort stations) was not good and we all felt they needed more attention, on a high traffic weekend a full clean more than once or twice a day would be necessary. Being that it was a bit wet, the mud tracked a lot and some of the toilets/sinks needed repair. Also showers were not open which we originally expected they’d be. I had asked the day ahead of time so I knew this, but many did not. I don’t think they told some of the campers when they arrived because I encountered some people arriving to the comfort station ready for showers and confused/disappointed when they weren’t available.
All in all, I think we would come back in later summer or fall when the bug population tends to be lower. There are a lot of hikes and a big lake available for outdoor activities and that’s something I want to enjoy more of at this park.
翻译:2024 年 5 月 24 日的周末,我们参观了基拉尼省立公园的乔治湖露营地。工作人员热情好客,办理入住手续很轻松,公园本身也有很多值得一看的地方。我们和住在附近另一个地方的朋友见面,走到湖边,欣赏着几条水蛇游过,而徒步旅行者和其他露营者/一日游者则在该地区游玩。我们觉得湖边不太热闹,有足够的空间让我们享受游泳和放松。我们的露营地干净宽敞,有两张野餐桌和一个带烤架的火坑。硬木售价 10 美元/袋,引火物售价 7.50 美元/袋。带上斧头,硬木需要砍一点。商店里有很多基拉尼商品。
有几个缺点,我们发现这些地点相当接近(我们住在 129 号),所以隐私性不强。虫子太多了,这显然不是公园的错,而且站点之间的区域有点沼泽/潮湿,吸引了比我想象的干燥年份更多的黑蝇,这也没有起到什么帮助作用。浴室(舒适站)的清洁度不佳,我们都觉得需要更多关注,在人流量大的周末,每天需要进行一次或两次以上的全面清洁。由于有点潮湿,泥土留下了很多痕迹,一些厕所/水槽需要维修。此外,淋浴间也没有开放,而我们原本预计它们会开放。我提前一天问过,所以我知道这一点,但很多人不知道。我认为他们没有告诉一些露营者,因为我遇到一些人到达舒适站时已经准备好洗澡,当他们没有洗澡时感到困惑/失望。
总而言之,我认为我们会在夏末或秋天回来,那时虫子数量往往会减少。这里有很多徒步路线和一个大湖可供户外活动,这是我想在这个公园里享受更多的事情。
