The camp store was full of cute, well-designed things right next to the rental shack with boats and the spot to get your firewood. We rolled in to our camp site just before sunset, quickly put up our tent and through on our swimsuits and ran to the end of our little dirt road to jump in the water in the last of the golden light. It was glorious. After dinner we walked around the campground and checked out the other beach where teens were playing and bugs were gathering hungry for blood. We tucked into bed early, really glad we'd gotten that perfect swim in. We were gone the next morning early, on to the next one.

I was really happy with this park, and the facilities they had. All the toilets are flush toilets, so no pinching your nose and squating on top of a hole, afriad you'll fall in. And it wasn't too stinky either. There were 4 + 1 handicap showers. The 1st one had warm water. And I never saw a line up or had to wait. The facilities were kept some what clean, and I liked that. The site also had a beach that fell on to the Moore Lake. It was a nice secluded beach and perfect for a swim and to put all your stuff. They had rental canoes and kayaks you can take out to the lake. Algonquin Northern Outfitters down the street has cheaper ones than the park. The Park store has anything you could want (including ice cream) yum. And life jackets you can borrow. The park staff also organize some events every evening (perfect for kids) like star gazing or history hikes. There is also a small museum that explains the history of Samuel de Champlain and his trade routes. I also liked seeing the park staff patrol occasionally throughout the day. The park itself had a few trails that go along the Mattawa river. It was a tortuous 5 hr hike that had us wishing we had a machete to cut through the ruffage. I guess that's how M. Champlain travelled thru the trading routes. I like going to new places all the time, but if I had to choose one to come back to , this would be it.

Inspiring views, challenging hiking paths and some surprisingly-useful services make this a…read moremust-stop destination if you're ever in Temagami. Often referred to as "Temagami Trails", this is the collective site for a number of trails that run along the highway and town and into the nearby Finlayson Point park site, ranging from easy (but long) beginner trails up to absurdly-difficult paths that cover extreme obstacles and challenging terrain. Visiting here was quite the experience, as I had the opportunity to check out three of the site's paths and visit the famed Fire Tower that is an easy landmark to spot from the town. While our original plan was to try out the area's toughest course, Peregrine, and the associated Beaver Trail, we discovered that it would have taken too long to cross over the sprawling site, and decided to set our expectations a bit lower, dividing and checking out a total of four courses. My friend and I started with the Old Fire Marshal's Trail - let me put this as a word of warning: if you don't have any proficiency with hiking, DO NOT USE THIS TRAIL. It's marked as a moderate hike, but its obstacles and steep nature are so challenging that it took us more than 40 minutes to get down a trail that normally would have taken 10 minutes. It goes almost vertically-downwards at points, and your only salvation will be making treacherous climbs across groups of rocks and the odd tree. If you fall, it's game over. Luckily, the nearby White Bear and Caribou trails are much, MUCH easier, taking a circuitous route through the heart of the White Bear forest and showcasing a number of photo-perfect opportunities in Lake Temagami. While it was tough due to the heat on the day we went, we nevertheless plowed through it and had the chance to see some spectacular views of the old-growth forest and lake. Having the chance to climb the Temagami Fire Tower was also a treat, as visitors are encouraged to ascend to the top, where they'll find some incredible views of the nearby town and surrounding municipalities. It really is worth the drive just for this - everyone should check it out. Overall, it was a great place to spend the day and offered a number of unique opportunities to see and learn more about the surrounding area. While the visitors' centre wasn't open, the free wi-fi was also much appreciated. Well worth a visit!

My knees were shaking, my heart pounding and my breathing labored: my excitement overcame my fear…read moreof heights as I ascended the 100 foot Temagami Fire Tower. Near the top, the spiral staircases narrow, room enough for only one person. You'll want to hold onto both railings and NOT look down. The last set of steps are as steep as a step ladder, then when you arrive to the top, you are rewarded by a 360 scenic view of over 40 kilometers of forests and lakes. You will be standing 400 feet above the town and 1300 feet above sea level. Take a minute to catch your breath and marvel at nature. If vertigo or fear of heights prevents you from climbing the tower, don't worry, there is an observation platform at the base of the tower that offers a beautiful view. A great pit stop if you're heading north. We were there at the perfect time: early Saturday morning before the tourists arrived. We had the place all to ourselves and took our time enjoying the solitude. The only thing that broke the silence was the birds singing sweetly in the trees. WARNING: do not approach the tower or surrounding area during a thunderstorm, unless you're a masochist and you enjoy getting hit by lightening. Also be careful on a windy day; I've read that the tower sways.

While I spoke about my recent excursion to Caribou Mountain in a related Yelp review…read more(https://www.yelp.ca/biz/caribou-mountain-temagami?hrid=j91AVwAzet-mQR2R2gAfWQ), the nearby Temagami Fire Tower deserves a bit of love too. It's worth noting that, despite being situated on the same site as a number of trails that run throughout Temagami, this is the more trendy, "tourist-y" part of the area, with a visitor's center and viewing platforms at its base. It is certainly a workout to climb up here, not just for the slightly-thinner air, but the fact that you're going to be ascending steep ladders and spiral staircases that might leave you with a bit of dizziness when you finally get to the top. Yet, the views are inspiring. This tower's history definitely shines through, having been the recipient of a major renovation some 20-plus years ago. Short messages and carved-in hearts from young lovers fill the wood paneling, both at the top of the tower and viewing platforms. It lends a lot of history to the sprawling views of the nearby forests, towns and other associated wildlife. I haven't seen views this good since my visit to Killbear Provincial Park last year. On the day we visited (a Sunday), it wasn't particularly busy. The most interesting people of note were a father who had brought his two children to climb the tower and hike two of the more challenging trails - I can only surmise that he was trying to punish them via physical exercise. It was relatively peaceful, and we didn't have to worry about people trying to crowd past on the ascent or descent up the tower. This is a great destination to check out if you're ever in Temagami, as it's literally a two-minute drive from the mainstreet and offers a lot of unique vistas and opportunities for cool pictures. It's just one of those places that proves why it's worth visiting Northern Ontario. Well recommended!

The meals served in the main lodge, and the cold packed lunches, are great. The modern log cabins are well kept, and cleaned daily. As of August 2021, the island was powered by a generator during the day, and power is off at night, which makes for great quiet sleeping! The staff is very accommodating, and we have always been well treated. And then there is the great scenery and the fishing. I look forward to visiting the island every year that I am able.

I mean it, like seriously the cleanest. I saw maybe one spider web. I`ve seen walmart bathrooms that were dirtier than this. It`s a very VERY rare sight for campgrounds or parks. There was a sign on the washroom door saying that they were closed every day at noon for cleaning. This is something i really appreciated, because it`s so rare. If i had to give a negative it`s that they didn`t do well at enforcing quiet after 10. When i made the reservations the lady told me specifically they it was not a place to part, yet one of the nights we were there we were kept up by drunk people running around, hooting hollaring and singing until well after midnight. Bottom line, though, is that i would go back. Clean washrooms, good service and easy access to lake nipissing (by far my favourite lake to swim in) makes it a really nice place to camp in my books
