Manitoulin Resort — Hotel in Assiginack Township

We drove for more than an hour to arrive at this resort only to rent a kayak or a canoe but the lady at the counter refused to rent us and said that its their policy that they only rent to guests staying at resort. However, their website does not have any information about this policy instead the website says that rentals are offered to those staying at any accommodation on Manitoulin Island. Therefore I called at the resort, after I left the resort, just to inform them to update their website as it is misleading but the lady on the phone couldnt help much and after 5 minutes another lady called and apologized for the confusion and agreed to the information on their website means we can rent kayak or canoe without being guests at the resort however, she also said that If I am Kayaking or Canoeing, at that time my family cannot be on the property which sounded very absurd, because where I am going to leave my 3 years old daughter and Wife while I am kayaking. All that day I was very disappointed because of this incident and I decided that I will never visit this resort if I ever went to the Island again nor will I recommend any friends. Poor...

I was disappointed with the park. The issues started with multiple phone calls to make my reservation. On arrival the site we were given was barely large enough to fit our 22 ft RV trailer, I had to partially block the roadway simply to get into place, while unhooking and connecting to leave. When the truck was disconnected, the only place to park was right on the edge of road, and that was with the hood/front bumper fitted between 2 trees. Everything was too tight, we could listen to the conversation of the people one site behind us and one site over, and did listen to them, until after 11 pm. Washrooms were nice, some of the dogs were friendly, others were not. There were no "views", no sense of privacy. The dump station location meant I was partially blocking the main entrance and exit to the park. Speed bumps were everywhere, not necessary considering the road conditions. The seasonal people did not engage in conversation, except for 1 guy who cautioned us his dog was very protective and to keep our distance. From other reviews I see free firewood, which was not offered? I won't return. You can't win them...

This is the perfect spot on the island for a family. The resort boasts a beautiful beach on the largest lake on an island in the world but that is just a spall piece of what this place has to offer. The resort also has a boat launch with a generous lot for parking your boat trailer. The sites are a good size, mostly with privacy. The place is well maintained and family owned and operated. Many sites are occupied by seasonal campers, most with friendly faces. The resort has a huge park for kids of many ages, a horseshoe area, cement pad with basketball nets and hockey nets, a volleyball and soccer field and bocce and other game equipment available on a lending basis. Both the park and the beach have resort owned toys for the kids to play with as they please. More variety at the convenience store would be nice although the prices on the selection available are very reasonable.

I would recommend this place to anyone staying on the island with kids. Definitely not a party place. Friendly and accommodating staff, clean and fun! Driving distance to anything you could want to experience...
