Great place to go camping. It's a Smaller park but filled with nice views. Only downside is that if you're looking to get away from society for a bit you can still hear the highway from your campground.
We visited this park for the first time from Toronto and we really enjoyed our stay there over the labour day long weekend. The park staff are welcoming and friendly and super helpful to get you any info you may need. The park itself is beautiful and kept very clean. The campsites vary in size so be sure to read the site descriptions carefully so you’re not surprised or disappointed. The washrooms and shower facilities are kept clean as well so no worries there. The park is located right by the lake so there is a nice docking area to launch a boat, canoe or kayak or just fish from the dock if you like. The park has a few beaches but they aren’t big at all but still work to take a quick dip in the crystal clear lake to cool off if you like. The camping here is awesome and we really enjoyed it. People in other reviews are right with the slight noise as the park is near a main road and lake that has motorized boats and seaplane access. As you can see with my 5 star rating it did not bother us at all as the road noise was minimal and the seaplane was cool to watch the couple of times it flew a day but the morning takeoff was quite the wake up alarm some days that gave us some good morning laughs when we woke up late. If you’re looking for absolute remote camping silence it might not be for you. Campsites are kinda close to each other but everyone was very respectful so we had a fantastic time there and I absolutely would come back again someday.
Amenities Positive things: Washrooms, Bath house , fish point for cleaning , a lot of garbage bins, at the gatehouse have ice and firewood(they sell until 9pm and the price is cheaper) , playground, beaches are small , but all the amenities is fair cleaner and organized.
Negative things: Dogs cannot barking. Fine 70$
Music : need be done by 7pm and cannot be loud anytime, the NEGATIVE thing is this they don't permit any music like little higher even its not higher they came and ask to turn off.
This park is most for calming and not sound site. We are talking by night and they suddenly came and ask rude us to turn off the sound and the music aren't loud even can hear from the road.
The water airplane we don't hear a lot of times on this specially site 96 .
We are in front of washroom 🚻 and bathhouse.
Another positive : the sky is amazing on this site but have some sites near to the highway you cannot see this sky.
The fireplace is good and have a picnic table very good .
The campground was very clean when we get there .
However, we can certainly go back them because the structure is very clean and organized. The security team is always around they maintain the safety very well.
Lovely location! Our campsite was small, but the campgrounds were well maintained. We hiked from campsite along the “Caribou trail” up to the fire tower (free to go up, and what a view!), down the original “Old Fire Ranger trail” (challenging) to Temagami for the Saturday farmers market. Be sure to walk the “White Bear Trail”, it’s one of Ontario’s remaining Old Growth Forests.
