Kearney Lake Campground — Hotel in Unorganized South Nipissing

This is a great campsite! Many choices to choose from to make your night enjoyable. ||||Best thing to do prior to going is looking at the website for Algonquin Provincial Park (in this case) Kearney Lake. Once you've seen the layout of campgrounds and what's available or even non-reservable, you'll have an idea of were you'd like to stay. Some sites are first come first served basis. Try calling before heading out.|| ||I decided to head to Kearney Lake once I've known this, so best to get there early enough to grab a good site. All Reservations will have to be done at Pog Lake (just half a kilometre down) from Kearney Lake on HWY 60 coming from the West Gate.||||Once your in the office you can give them an idea of what you'd like. Example: privacy-good, slope-average, etc... They will be able to tell you what's available. Once you have this information drive into the Kearney campgrounds and look at the sites. Write down any other sites that may be of possibilities as well and go back to the office.||You might end up getting something better then what was listed for your duration.||||We stayed for two nights, open sites all around us. We got lucky and had great neighbours all around us that respected quietness during the day, but if you plan on hiking and doing other adventures throughout the day it doesn't matter.||Algonquin Park has calendar of events posted on there website and at the offices, great opportunities for things to do. Even if the weather isn't so cooperative. ||Just on HWY 60 approaching Kearney Lake from the West Gate you'll find gas station, grocery store (local store) not any chain store and a bakery. Remember to get what you need, it's not a two minute drive from Kearney Lake.||Overall, great...

Honestly, this campground is 100 times better than my other experince with algo quin camp grounds. Some things to know though. This place does not have an office for any kind of wood nor does it allow wood to be brought in. You need to drive about a kilometer down the street to pog lake camp ground where you register and can additionally buy firewood and ice and kindling. Secondly, the place is very open. My cite I'm staying on right now is k106. It is probably one of the largest cites in the whole park. A lot of the cites are very small so be sure to check Ontario parks in order to look and images otherwise you might be screwed. I recommend a hammock as there are trees on the outskirts of each cite. Mostly every cite is completely flat with a small ramp going down into it. Though, do be cautious the pictures listed for each campground don't simulate other people being there. And I know this might be gross but if guys really need to go at night it's far to open unless your brave enough or just really have to pee. The majority of the k106, 107, 108 and so on cites are very flat and quiet. The cite across k106 is a family lot so it's much bigger. I wouldn't recommend anything on the other side of the bridge. It's very compact and by the washroom. Speaking of the washrooms, the cleanest public washroom that is modern in my life. No showers because of covid but still, I would feel super comfortable if I had to do a number 2 in there. Algonquin cites of avenged themselves this year I suppose Stay at Kearney Lake...

Just returned from 5 nights at Kearney Lake Campground in Algonquin Provincial Park. It was our first time to this campground. We normally go to Canisbay Bay, but selection was sparse with COVID. I wasn’t expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was quiet and well supervised. The comfort stations were open, but the showers were closed. The beaches were small and grassy, but the water was crystal clear. Good for swimming. I kayaked around the lake in about an hour, but I didn’t see any wildlife. There was a 1750m portage to Whitefish Lake, but I didn’t try it. The campground is centrally located which allowed short drives to trails, visitor centre and logging museum. If you need supplies or a treat, Lake of Two Rivers store is not that far either. Whitney is the closest town for gas and groceries. There is no camp office at Kearney, so you need to register and get wood and ice at the Pog Lake Campground Office across the road from Kearney. Pog Lake Campground is also an access point for the Old Railway Bike Trail and has better beaches and kayaking. Overall I enjoyed my visit to Kearney, but I’m thinking about trying Pog Lake next time to access the...
