Our first family camping trip was to Bruce Peninsula National Park where we hiked to the grotto with our 8 month year old son. It was a beautiful evening so the grotto was filled with many people, some of which braved the freezing cold waters, others took photos and all stood back and took in the crystal clear waters and beautiful rockface the grotto has to offer.
