I got the chance to visit this magical park in the fall season with a group of 5 other friends. We fit comfortably in the Otentik & it was such an amazing experience. There is a wood stove in the tent, it kept us warm throughout the night. The only complaint I do have is that the beds are quite hard, so I would reccomend sleeping on a mat on top of the bed. Which is what me and my partner did! The two bottom bunks are spacious! The park provided the propane for ys to cook over the BBQ! It did rain so this was helpful because our fire was pretty smokey. There is a bear locker outside the otentik which i thought was a great idea! Unfortunately because it was the off season, the park guest services lounge/shop was closed. But the other amenities were still open (hot shower, bathroom, laundry). The facilities were clean! It felt so great to get off the trail and be able to take a nice warm shower (dont forget to pack your own flip flops & shower bag). I would definitely reccomend this park! The Otentiks were great! I woild definitely return, there are so many wonderful hiking trails. Be aware there is no cell phone service within the park, but I do believe that it makes the experience so...

Pukaskwa National Park is one of the most beautiful places in Ontario that I've been to in the past year.

There is brand new laundry, bathroom and shower facilities located within the park, as well as beautiful Parks Canada tents with wood stoves that I was fortunate enough to stay at during my time. The landscape is jaw-dropping, and there is a ton of technical hikes across the area. You will find yourself wanting to climb every rock to get a better view of the horizon (pictures not included, you need to see this for yourself... my pictures do not do this place justice) -- go to the canoe rental area and find the trail behind it.

I recently spent about 5 days there in a volunteer program cleaning up drift wood on the furthest beach making a path for beach goers.

There is wifi in the information house for those who are unable to catch a signal, as well as cute souvenirs, stickers for the car and FACE BUG NETS. you will need these. trust me. Again, my pictures do NOT do this place justice - there is WAY more to be discovered here and I normally take videos not...

Superb park. Fantastic weather and the only area that allowed pit fires where others had a fire ban. We camped two days on a trip west. We returned for two days on the way back. It's truly a place to go. Hiking trails, canoe and kayaking for literally days. A suspension and great views makes for a hikers dream. Temp for mid Aug was high 17c and night time low of 6. Enough clear skies at night and being in a dark sky area makes for fantastic long exposure night photography destination. Camp sites are first come first serve. No pre booking makes for a good luck of the draw. All spots are great. Some better then others. There's two areas for the most part to camp in. After the gates the first left is a mix of electrical and non electrical. Straight through as of now is non but that may change. Toilets and showers are very nice very clean and attended to well. At night they auto shut off lights . A sensor detects you when you walk up at night. There are a few close by towns for supplies. The in town store is quite friendly and has the best...

A beautiful and well managed park. I spent the early part of the day hiking the Coastal Trail to the swinging bridge and waterfall. I was impressed with the trail maintenance, as we saw crews working on cleaning up fallen trees and handling any major drainage issues from the storm two nights past. There were several amazing views along the trail as well, giving great opportunities for many beautiful photographs. The facilities were very clean and well placed. They had composting toilets right in the parking lot beside the trail entrance and you will find outhouses along the hile at the marked campsites. Bring toilet paper though, as you won't find any in them. All the staff were friendly and courteous during our visit. I would definitely come back to backpack the full Coastal Trail.
