I was able to enjoy both. The beach and swimming area were perfect for my granddaughter as it was shallow which was comfortable for her to play and for me not to worry. I enjoyed the water too. I did have a day to myself where I enjoyed a nice kayak ride around the lake. The cottage was roomy and comfortable. Thanks for a great stay. ##### Betty M.

This is a family campground with lots of kids around. Great for young kids to find a friend and to play at the beach, or bike around. Take the canoe or peddleboat out with the kids, go fishing or swim. Not noisy. ##### Catherine M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Coleen M. 29 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Thanks for a lovely stay! We had a lovely time on Little Marble Lake at The Bon Echo Family Campground, just minutes away from Bon Echo Provincial Park. Everything ran so smoothly from check-in, to relaxing on the beach, to lighting the fire at night to check-out. Rob, the owner's son was especially courteous and made sure our questions were answered and our needs were met. When we arrived, we had the chance to listen to the annual music festival that Ralph, the owner, organizes and felt the warm community vibe right away. We can't wait to come back when our 10 month old is older and can run around! She loved exploring the cabin, sitting on the beach and doing a little paddle on the water. It was so idyllic, quiet and yet we were so close to other campers ... I can still hear the crickets and can't wait to return. The amenities were good. I would recommend bringing your favourite sharp knife, some larger cooking and salad bowls would be good too. ##### Coleen M.

The water is shallow and sandy, which was ideal with small children. As the listing suggests, there is limited privacy and the cottage is dated-- but things were comfortable, drivers on the laneway out front were conscientious and my daughter had fun with new friends. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay. ##### Catherine E.

As mentioned, having no exhaust and the window kept open was an easy entry for mosquitoes/bugs in the shower aside from excess humidity. Also the tub in the shower was very slippery.
