backwoodslover Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Hey! I was wondering if anyone knows of any GOOD lakes with crown land for camping this summer? I'm not too picky about location but possibly northern ontario area? preferably with good fishing and not a whole lot of other people on the lake as we prefer some peace and quiet, also not too big of a lake as we are going to be using just the canoe this year.I camped on Loom Lake, and Wesltemkoon lake last summer. Both were awesome! Loom lake was nicer in terms of peace and serenity BUT the fishing there was minimal. Westlemkoon certainly had more to explore and better fishing and I'd go there again in a heartbeat if I had a boat with a little motor on it haha.I enjoy "roughing it" I dont want a sissy camp with showers and plumbing and so on. Just crown land, with good fishing. there must be some good places that I have yet to learn of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCranksalot Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 9 Mile Lake near P sound has lots of small bass at least. I didn't catch any big ones, but they must be in there. If you put in on Harris Lake you can paddle a long way on the Magnetawan. Not sure about the fishing but as you get further away from the put in there is very little fishing pressure.

Dara Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Primo has a nice camping spot with a beach, or you could stop at Carpenter, Ward is nice, decent specs, Lac Cherrie has specs and lakers Hubert is good but a bit further, White lake has lots of spots but you need a boat to get to them, Hilltop is good but as the name implies.... List them ALL goodness gracious I'm desperate here, Edited April 15, 2013 by Dara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoodslover Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 This is soo helpful. Thank you! I have been looking on google and using the "backroads ontario" book but I find it a lot nicer to get suggestions from real people who have been to these places themselves. Its kind of nice reassurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony68 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I have spent the last 3 years vacationing at Weslemkoon, and enjoy it very much for that reason, no boat trafic hardly any cottages, good size bass , no pressure on the lake and very secluded area.

NAW Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) I would tell you all of my quiet, peacefull crown land camping sites on an open forum... But then they would no longer be quiet and peacefull anymore!Get your feet on the ground and find some sites.. Use the LIO link. A little research. Trust me, there are thousands of crown land campsites in Ontario. Way more then most people think. Edited April 15, 2013 by N.A.W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Harness the web/maps/many other resources. The vast majority of this province suits your description Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Farmer Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 We go every year to Big Gull Lake first week of June. Lake is 85% crown land. I don't know what it's like after that. Camp resorts look after the crown land camping spots, lots are on Islands. We fish for eater size Walleye, but you have to work for them. Lake is near Kaladar. We stay at Kirk Kove Cottages.

Much less crowded than Algon although, to be fair, Algon has more wild life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I suppose if I didn't work ten days on, two days off I'd have the time to "get out and explore" but seeing as time is a bit of an issue to just drive 4 hours out of the way to explore land, I need help from people who know first hand whats out there. I have one week off this summer to explore/camp and despite extensive research I still like hearing from people good places to go. That way I don't show up somewhere only to find out im S.O.L So thank you to all those who posted examples it is greatly greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving 4 hours to your crown land campsite on your 1 and only week off. And having you campsite already occupied by someone else. Because they herd about it on an open forum. If you have a specific area in mind, fire me a PM. There's a good chance I will be able to help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
