Last Minute Camping/ Fishing/ Family desitination?

[wask]

Hey guys, we are in the last minute crazy search for a place to camp this weekend (Thurs check in - our Monday).

 

Looking for a place with camping (powered as a bonus) a beach for the kids to swim and preferably some smaller water for my small 12 foot boat and some fishing.

 

Parks Ontario is pretty jammed up but I know there is a ton of knowledge around here to I thought you guys might know some campgrounds where I might find some availability.

 

Thanks in advance as always.

Where are you from? How far will u travel?

[wask]

Ahhh, good question. Im in Markham 2-3 hours would be good but for the right situation maybe even a little further.

 

Would also consider good cottage/ trailer deal too.

 

Thanks!

Here are a few in the Quinte region, on smaller lakes that should be manageable with your 12'r

Wouldn't hurt to try presqu'ile provincial park as well.....( just down the road from me ) huge beaches and a boat launch just outside the park.... 5.00 to launch and park.

 

 

I see they have several non reservable sites available....

Point Farms Provincial Park is one of my favorites. Not too far (2.5 hours),nice beach and the friendliest park I have ever camped at. We were there 2 weeks ago and the watersof lake huron was nice and warm for swimming.

Goderich is right around the corner with all the amenities of a bigger city and they have a boat launch there at the marina.

 

If you leave home early morning like 7 am or so, you should be able to get into their first come first served site. 17-18-34-35 are good sites and the comfort station there is brand new.

4 hours would put you easily in Marten River PPark and 4hr 25 in Finlayson PPark in Temagami. Both have swim beaches and calm water for a car topper, although both might be a bit further than you want to go.

Layzee Acres campground on L Dalrymple is pretty good.

according to ontario parks both sharbot lake and silver lake have sites available for this weekend and both will fill your needs for beach,boating and fishing. You could also travel up to north bay area several parks around there have sites,martin river,restoule,mikisew,grundy,driftwood and champlain
