A very beautiful provincial park. We stopped here for the day. Started with the Murphys point loop hike. A very gorgeous trail. The trail was well marked and most of the trail was under the beautiful canopy of the forest. We stopped for lunch at the point and watched the boats drive by. We spent the afternoon paddling around hoggs Bay. We were lucky enough to catch a few fish from the bay. There are lots of activities to do here and the park staff were all super friendly.

A quiet, somewhat secluded park. Early season camping is ideal through the week as the park is practically empty. There are lots of trails to explore and wildlife around every corner. Some of the sites are a bit challenging to park a trailer due to inclines and the sites can be considered small compared to other Ontario provincial parks. The sites are situated within a high canopy forest so it does improve the overall camping experience. Definitely a park to consider.

It really doesn't get any better than this for Ottawa valley provincial park camping. The staff Rangers are phenomenal.... Incredibly helpful and passionate about their work. Take the silver queen mine tour and any other activities they organize!

One of the best provincial parks in Ontario! Staff was somewhat curt but that’s to be expected from uni students at the end of camping season about to return to another semester. Beautiful parks and beach, and the campsites are well spread out! Nothing too cramped and the comfort stations are well placed.

Was a great part to spend a night camping! We unfortunately got rained out, and we’re unable to do the cave tour, and I recommend you take a look at if your site has good drainage, or if it is downhill! Luckily, we woke up just before the rain started to hit, And packed up before our site was a tad bit flooded. With that being said, we really loved doing the trail the day before! We can’t wait to come back and get a more dry experience!
