Scout out your ideal campsite on our reservation service (including pictures of most campsites!), or check out these featured campsites (available as of noon on September 16, 2021):
Northeastern Ontario
Ivanhoe Lake Provincial Park
**Waterfront site alert!**
Campers who know Ivanhoe Lake well come for the boating and fishing. There’s good Walleye, Northern Pike and Yellow Perch fishing to be done by boat or canoe.
Much of the park’s shore is sand beach, with expansive views west across the lake.
Ivanhoe Lake is 2.5 hours from Timmins, and 5.5 hours from Sudbury.
René Brunelle Provincial Park
This campsite is just steps away from René Brunelle’s playground, making it the perfect site for children!
René Brunelle offers excellent paddling opportunities on Remi Lake, especially exploring the park’s undeveloped north shore. The park rents canoes and kayaks.
This is an ecological region known as the boreal forest, often called the songbird nursery because so many nest here each summer. The four sandy beaches, shallow, clear water, and buoyed areas are perfect for family swimming.
René Brunelle is less than 2 hours from Timmins.
Northwestern Ontario
Blue Lake Provincial Park
Renowned for its crystal clear waters and long sandy beach, Blue Lake is an outstanding destination for all types of water activities.
Take a canoe out, or spend the afternoon fishing for Walleye, Muskie, Pike, Lake Trout, and Smallmouth Bass.
Blue Lake is 3.5 hours from Winnipeg, and 4.5 hours from Thunder Bay.
Pancake Bay Provincial Park
Pancake Bay boasts more than 3 km of beautiful sand beach and Caribbean blue waters.
