Murphys Point Provincial Park

My Fiance and I stayed here for 7 nights (Aug 25-Sept 1) and loved every minute of it. We try out 2 different Provincial parks every year and had nothing but good to say about this park. We were not bothered by park staff, in fact they were very friendly.

The negative reviews of being ticketed for noise or bothered by Wardens was not witnessed once by us, all park staff were friendly and very helpful. The girls at the registration office made it a point to wave at you as you left the park every time (this was very nice).

One of the Wardens stopped and talked with us as we were going fishing and gave us great advice where to fish in the park. The site we had was huge and we were not sitting on top of our neighbours.

We will be back next year as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay here for the long weekend. It's just far enough out from Ottawa without being too inconvenient. Beach was nice, lots of activities. Never had any issues with noise or complaints. And that's with our own 2 children being pretty loud. The staff were excellent and always friendly. And Perth is only a quick drive away if you want to get back into cell reception and have access to amenities. The only thing that could have been improved is the fire pit. Not all that great of a design. Otherwise it was a perfect camping trip.

What a great camping experience! Water and amenities were clean and easily accessible. I would recommend this park if you were going with a chill group and looking for a quiet commune with nature. They do ask for quiet after 10 pm, which was not a difficult for my group of 4. All of our camp site neighbors also kept to this rule with quiet fireside chat after 10. The trails were well maintained and the staff were just so friendly. I particularly enjoyed our time with park guide Mark, who took us around the Lally homestead and Rigaud trail area for a nice 7km hike.

We liked this park. There was a lot of room between sites. The beach was small but appropriate for the size of the park. The lake is perfect for canoeing with small children. I was pleasantly surprised.
