We camped here for one night on our way to Pukaskwa National Park on the first weekend of September. The park in general was very clean and quiet (probably because it was almost at the end of the season).
The campsite we used (#84) was very private and spacious, with a wooden staircase connecting to a small beach at the back. The campsite next door (#86) was even more private and spacious, but the entrance was too muddy for our car at the time. In the evening, we could hear songs from the Pic Mobert First Nation across the lake. For us, it wasn’t bothering at all. We somewhat enjoyed hearing them. There were very loud train horns twice in the morning, but we didn’t really care since we were up and leaving early anyways.
I did not have much time to try fishing – only managed to cast few times from the shore and caught nothing. Nevertheless, I heard fishing is usually fantastic here. I briefly checked out the docks and fish cleaning stations, and they seemed pretty neat, too.
The shower facility was one of the cleanest I have ever seen in Provincial Parks. The park staff member at the gatehouse was very...
Read moreBrought my son for one night of camping. Site was littered with the last campers empty bottles and food. Picked a beach lot ...small beach had broken glass, empty beer cans as well as an empty Hydrochloric acid container in a baby carrier sitting there. There was also the previous campers make shift fire pit on the beach. We set up camp and my son waded into the water by our beach. When he came out he had 6 small leaches on his feet ... not a swimming lake. We collected small small sticks off the beach and made a small fire in the previous campers pit. Within a half an hour the ranger came and wrote me up $180.00 ticket for an unsanctioned fire. No warning, no discussion. It was next to a lake where a previous fire had been made ... I didn't really think it was an issue. I could have put it out with a cup of water. I was calm and non-confrontational yet this ranger treated me like I was a criminal. I pointed out the Acid container in the baby carrier and he simply removed it. Pictures will be on Trip Advisor. What a disgrace for a provincial park. Oh and no cell service, no toilet paper, no Ice, no...
Read moreWe really enjoyed our 2 night stay at this Provincial Park! The park itself has many nights sites and the showers were clean and hot. The only unfortunate thing is that currently you need to bring your own water or boil the water before cooking or drinking but they say they are working on that. The hiking trails are a must do if you are able. I recommend driving or biking to the trail heads. Especially the Clearwater Lake Trail as it is the furthest away but 100% worth going. We had the entire lake to ourselves and it is a nice sandy bottom clear lake with a Canoe/Paddles at the lake (bring your own life jackets). We saw a bald eagle and an owl. We did all 3 hikes (excluding the fitness trail) in one day. The staff is super friendly. I was disappointed they don’t have any provincial park stickers available for the rest of the year but the park is great. Thanks...
