Stayed twice in the Taylor Lake section and loved it. Sites are a good size, almost all directly on the lake. Fishing is terrific, caught some nice bass. But black flies and mosquitoes were really bad. You're literally in the deep woods so come prepared. Around Taylor Lake you only have vault toilets so you'll need to go to Philippe Lake area for showers and convenience store. We brought along a portable toilet and privacy shelter which worked out great. This area is very popular so book well ahead of time!

Incredible cabin! I couldn’t believe how big it was and how many amenities it had! It has a fridge, an electric heater and couches! Definitely felt like I was glamping 🏕️

Great place to go camping. Lot's of sites. Even a great place to spend the day at the beaches. Kinda upset that B8 campsite is no longer available 😕 That was the best site above all. Cheers to all the folks that ventured out this long weekend!! Photos are of campsite D8. Close to showers/washrooms and small convenient store.

Great campsite for winter camping. It's about a 2.5km hike/ski from the p19 parking lot to the campsite so have all of your gear packed tightly. It's not right up to the edge of the water as I would have liked, but it's close enough and very close to the trails. The free firewood that comes with the camping is also a great bonus.

Beautiful park! But the raccoons are savage.. beach is nice but gets packed as it’s open for day use. Be sure to check out the caves
