   Rock Point looks awesome, I've never been there.  Once all this COVID stuff is   
   done I'll hae to check it out with the kids!   
       
   Kawartha Highlands is a great park with a ton of lakes and canoe routes of   
   varying difficulty/length.   
   Just north of Peterborough.   
       
   It's busier now then when I was younger (started going in the 80s as a   
   cub/scout), but still can have some pretty secluded spots (although, we'll   
   have to see what this year will be like).   
       
   Bottle/Sucker lakes are nice and good for families (site 106 on bottle is a   
   large sandy beach, bottle creek has ruins of an old lumber mill), Crab lake   
   (off Wolf lake) has a great jumping rock.   
       
   Long lake loop is a great route through several lakes for a few day trip, as   
   is the Serpintine loop.   
       
   google any of them and you'll get a ton of pics and maps. :)   
       
   A friend of mine actually runs a travel site called Wandering Wagars and has   
   done reviews of family friendly routes here and in other parks.   
   www.wanderingwagars.com   
       
       
   Hope you have a good camping experience this summer!
