Tik Tok user @itsnattylxnn2.0 has been sharing videos claiming that people are coming to Wasaga Beach Provincial Park, setting up tents, and doing their business right in the sand.
“I am going to be making a series, I will be going down to the main end to show everyone the thousands of tents that are still up,” reads her most viral video’s caption, which was widely shared on social media.
“No tourist respects the no tent rule; also they still dig holes under tents to use the washroom and I will be documenting it.”
In her video, this mother is visibly upset about people accepting these disgusting behaviors from visitors in her beloved tourist destination.
“I’m tired of people saying that those who are pooping on the beach that’s ‘what they do back home,'” she ranted.

“WHO’S POOPING ON THE BEACH?!?!” one commenter exclaimed incredulously.
