★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Seriously, this place is heaven. We just finished the Lake Superior Circle Tour and Neys was our favorite place to camp. Peaceful, sandy beach, on the most picturesque bay. Our six year old son couldn’t stop building with the copious amounts of driftwood on the beach. A must-stay if you’re in the area!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It’s one of the most beautiful parks in the Ontario Parks system. The hiking trails in the park are challenging, but definitely worth having a go. The two I recommended are the Pic Island Overlook (which is 4.5 km each way) and the Lookout trail located in the Section 4 campground (about 1.5 km each way).
The reason I am not giving this place 5 stars was for the customer service we received at the park. The employees working in the gatehouse lacked enthusiasm and overall knowledge of the park itself which was shocking. Asking about hiking trails or canoe rentals with no definitive answers? This needs to be drastically improved upon.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely loved the place. I stayed at a cabin right on the beach. The cabin was clean, full of useful amenities and value that I did not expect.
The grounds and beach were gorgeous, well-maintained, and I would definitely return here.
There was one incident related to a power outage and how it was handled that briefly detracted from the experience, but beyond that, I hope to return again next year!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beatiful beach. Lots of driftwood around. The trails are ok. Sandy. Flora are fauna is different as it grows on sand. Not much to explore. Good for camping to get away and swim, relax at the beach.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This provincial park has beautiful beaches and very clear blue water. It is great for fishing, canoeing, and hiking. The amenities are always clean. Definitely worth the drive up from Toronto!
Note that the entrance to the park crosses the CN railway. When the CN staff performs maintenance, you cannot enter or leave the park for certain periods at a time. You can also hear quite a few trains pass by several times a day.
The hiking trails are all very nice and slightly different from each other. If you walk all the way from the campsites to the Pic Island Overlook and continue to Kopa Cove, followed by Under the volcano, and then finish back at the campsites, it will take you around 6-7 hours to complete the loop (about 20 km).
As far as the Kopa Cove trail goes, the park map does not specify the difficulty of the trails and how treacherous and steep this particular trail can be, especially if just rained. Additionally, the trail does not exactly match the park map as it meets the water quite a bit further south.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We recently spent a week at Neys. The landscape is amazing. The park is well maintained and staff friendly and knowledgeable. Park staff were regularly driving through sites which was nice... not sure if this was due to the fire ban or if this is a regular occurrence, however we appreciated it.
Outhouses were our least favourite part (area 4) however were cleaned throughout day and the comfort station was only a short drive away. Train track directly behind area 4 with trains running at all hours, it didn't particularly bother us, but may bother someone who is a light sleeper and who would has trouble falling asleep. Cell service was non existent for us in the park.
Overall we had an amazing week exploring the park and areas around and would definately recommend.
