Raccoon Lake Campground — Hotel in Unorganized South Nipissing

We arrived on a Tuesday and were warned that a few days earlier a bear with 2 cubs had been sighted in our camping area (actually 2 site over from ours). We had site 159 and were pleased with it. Good view of the lake and as the previous review stated no highway noise which was nice. We have a tent and shelter and while our tent was on flat ground there was a slight slope where we had to put our shelter which caused some minor difficulties. Our section of the campsite this seems to have been common, a small flat area with the rest having some slopes to it. Privacy was not the greatest but overall not bad where we were. Vaul toilets were nearby and for showers Rock Lake was not to far away.||||The first few nights the park wardens came around warning us of the bear situation so that caused us to ensure all cooking materials that we normally would have left out were stored in our vehicle. On the first night my girlfriend spotted several deer mice around our campsite, what we didn't know until the following morning was that they had actually gone into my car and had eaten some sunflower seeds, waffle cones, and chips that we had sitting in the vehicle. They made a nice mess. A few days later talked to a couple with a trailer and they had the same issue happen to them. So suggest you keep all food in plastic containers if you go.||||The second night heard wolves in the distance for about half an hour. That was a treat as the public howl was cancelled.. Our hiking excursions were good but we noticed that all the squirrels were agitated whenever we came around. I have never encountered so many angry squirrels before. It felt like it was angry squirrel week at Alqonguin.||||On our last night the deer mice returned and as we were eating our smores waffle cones one had the audacity to jump into my girlfriends lap. I must say to the park staff, getting screamed at by squirrels, and having mice getting fresh with my girlfriend, you may want to talk to your critters about proper customer relations ;) ||||The weather was good, cool but windy at times. Coon Lake is a nice, quiet campsite with lots of small wildlife to make things interesting, will definitely look at returning to this...

We stayed at Racoon Lake in Algonquin park. Site 137 (fri,sat,sun and mon). All the sites were crammed together, and our site was on a decline with tons of large in ground rocks, which made tent placement extremely tricky and limited. We set up, and were telling stories around the fire, having a good laugh when the park warden rolled up and issued us a warning for the noise... We were just talking, not yelling or carrying on, talking. Then at 2:30am first night, the same warden woke us up for "violations" which consisted of our bug spray and our dish soap. He issued us our "last and final" warning, and threatened a $150 fine. So the next two days and nights felt like we were walking on egg shells, which for a camping trip to relax, wasn't relaxing at all. He drove slowly past our site every night shining his flashlight across it, looking for any excuse to fine us and kick us out. Every morning I was woken at 4am because of children screaming and running down the road or babies crying for hours. It was a tough few days, and after feeling like we were targeted by the park warden, we won't be back and will urge other campers to avoid here also. Especially on a long weekend. Only perk was the small lake, fishing and...

This was my first time camping in Algonquin and I really enjoyed my stay. We were there for the Labour Day Long Weekend, so the entire park was booked. Still this was a very quiet campground, away from the Hwy 60 road noise and also quiet because it is relatively small, on a very small lake with only a small beach, and the sites are not electrical. This suited our needs just perfectly. On Saturday we drove the 5 mins to Rock Lake and did the Booth Rock hiking trail, which was great. On Sunday we did part of the same trail again and found a secluded beach to spend the day on. It was perfect.||||At night the atmosphere at the campsite was great, as the darkness provides privacy and our neighbours were not noisy. During the day, however, there is little to no privacy on these sites and we could definitely hear noise from the other campers in the mornings (we did not get up until about 9:30).||||It was a great trip and the campsite suited our needs. The only thing that could have been improved was the privacy of our site 145. It is right between two roads which form a loop so it was "high traffic" site...
