Best Provincial Park. Road to it is the worst road City of Greater Sudbury should be ashamed for this road to this wonderful provincial park in their city.
Amazing lake, spring fed making it very clear. The lake allows boats which is cool and the park is super awesome as it's very sleepy and laid back.
The lake is pretty and the water is clear. There is one comfort station for the whole park, and it could use a face lift. There was a one minute boil water advisory in place while we stayed here, from their state of the art water treatment facility. There is one small short challenging walking trail that leads up to a beautiful overview of most of the lake here. The road into the park is a mix of gravel, pavement segments, and stretches of multiple pothole repairs, and as just about everyone who comes here brings a trailer, the drive in can be a long slow painful one. A lot of people stay here for one night as a pass thru off the Trans-Canada highway. There are some very nice serviced sites right on the lake edge, if I was coming back I would definitely book one of these.
Wanted to share our experience at Fairbank Provincial Campground. We had a great time even though there was a fire ban on, and it rained off and on. Our experience was great because of one of the Park Attendants' - Julie!! She has a wealth of knowledge about everything going on in the park!! We cannot thank you enough, Julie! Thanks for ensuring we got all the details for our stay! It was our pleasure talking with you.
Great campground. Lots of seasonal RVs so most campgrounds are reserved with no occupants actually being there, so it's fairly empty and private. Showers, toilets, and laundry equipment are fairly dated and not super clean. The lake and beach are freaking amazing, clear water with a rocky ground. Great for boating and canoeing. Nice small boat launch but needs cleats. Not appropriate for fishing. Pets must be on leash but people are obnoxious and tend to set their pets free to harrass others, park staff don't seem to care. There's a beautiful trail with a great panoramic view of the lake, short hike (45 minutes) but challenging. There was a fire ban so having no campfire was a bit disappointing, but justified of course. Very good experience overall.
