(I found out about this campground online, and I RV camped there in July 2006.
Describe your camping trip:
My family and I had not been to the park for about 3-4 years. What a shock! The park is terrible now - trees cut down, huge potholes in the street (we almost lost our trailer), the pull-throughs in Poplar area look like a small parking lot, the lakes are dirty, the tap water tastes awful, the bathrooms are filthy and there were two thefts while we were there. When it rained, most of the lots became just huge ponds. Our tents were almost floating. We won't even talk about the mosquitoes. Talk about West Nile virus. What a letdown. We'll never go back.
Pros: The lots are big enough to hold a big trailer, tent and kitchen tent. It is close to Sudbury and the emergency clinic.
Cons: The lakes were dirty with used condoms, diapers, garbage and food. My son got a rusty fish hook stuck in his foot at the swimming beach. The bathrooms and showers were disgusting. I walked in to find a huge pile of feces on the floor. It stayed like that for three days. No one ever washed the floor. Disgusting. There has been West Nile Virus isolated within 20 km, and they don't do anything to kill off mosquitoes. While we were there, several people came down with severe diarrhea, most likely from the tap water.

Nearby attractions: Sudbury - Science North is great.
Further comments:
I used to love Grundy, but the place has deteriorated badly. It's a shame, because it was such a beautiful park before, but now it's "ghetto" - theft, garbage everywhere, noisy, unkept. Makes you wonder where the park fees are going.
