    I live in Brighton and love Presqui’le! Hubby and I cycle and hike there several times each week. Hiking is awesome in winter ☺️ In summer, we swim and kayak - lots of nature to enjoy. 💛
  • @TripsCultureTC
    The place is so magical for camping; you instantly feel at peace and in direct connection with nature. I would love to be there for a few days too 🙂
  • @TravelingAtoZ
    It looks like a really nice spring camping trip. The lake is beautiful.
  • @KayandGogo
    Always love your informative camping park adventures. Yous had a good spot. Those wraps looked delicious 😋 Liked your hike pleased the weather stayed nice.
  • @RachaelMartin
    This looks like a fantastic park and campground! So beautiful! 😄
  • Love camping in the spring. Everything seems so fresh. Love the chef plug lol. Looks like y’all had a great time out!
  • Thank you for sharing. A shakedown trip sounds like a wonderful idea. Presqu’ile PP is on my bucket list. Could you add the dates when you were camping to the show notes. It would give viewers an idea of how the campground is like. Thank you. Keep up sharing the videos. I appreciate them.
  • @recreepy
    I'm genuinely blown away—excellent work!:hand-pink-waving::hand-pink-waving:
  • @MrSujano
    looks like you had a fantastic breakfast! Gordon Ramsay would be jealous!
  • I love how you guys go back to the roots and exploring all these amazing campgrounds. Yeah its just getting warm enough in BH for the mosquitoes to start coming out. Mmm lunch looked good. The trails and lighthouse are all great additions and of course it's not Average Tourist video without a brewery visit 😂.
  • @jontooke846
    Love your posts you guys are amazing. Thanks so much for everything
  • Awesome as usual! Another great look at the campground and some stuff to check out. We would love to do this eventually. We looked at some smaller campers a couple years ago, but have been putting it off. Now I need to convince our daughter to go. She hates bugs. So the mosquitos would be an instance buzz kill for her. I brought up the idea of going tent camping here soon and I got the "no way" look haha.
  • @pabbsways
    Happy days. It was a nice spot with some good time for sure. I wish I could check those wraps out.
  • @MegaHello202
    “Compliments to the chef” “He was the chef” That cracked me up 😂
  • @KitatheExplorer
    Another camping season underway! I’m excited to see what sites you go to this year. Oh gosh, I could not stay that close to the swamp with all of the mosquitoes. They can find me as soon as I stick a finger out the door. And that brewery in Trenton looks great! I would love to try a flight there as well.
  • @ldawn1540
    Presqu'ile PP is one of my favourite parks!
  • @AmaiwanTraveler
    What a perfect start to the camping season! Watching your shakedown trip to Presqu'ile Provincial Park has me itching to pack my bags and hit the trails. Thanks for sharing the adventure – can't wait to see more of your camping escapades!
