I quite enjoyed this camping area, and would recommend it to anyone willing to drive up to Grande Cache.
There's 4 different campgrounds, 3 attached lakes, many kilometers of trails and lots of great fishing. I especially liked that the trails and grounds are well-kept (the outhouses were cleaned twice a day!) and that only electric motors are permitted, so it's a more quiet lakeside experience. As an added bonus, firewood was free this year.
The campsites start not too far from the highway; it's nice not to have to drive 40 min on a gravel road to the lake. It's also a 25 min drive to Grande Cache if you need to go in to town. The McDonald Lake day use area is the first stop on your way in, and the lake is known for sportfishing. After that is Wanyandie campsite, which is ideal for larger RVs and trailers, and has overflow/non-reservation spots available. Moberly and Delorme campground follow, both have power and some tandem sites. Joachim is the last campground, no power and better suited to small campers and tents, and closest to the small connected island and the free wood lot.
As old school tenters, we loved our lakeview site in Joachim campground. All the campgrounds have generous sites and lots of trees/privacy. I thought the Delorme dock was the nicest for swimming, and the campsites had better boat docking areas. Moberly and Wanyandie are a bit hillier and further from the water, but more accomodating to bigger RVs.
We loved our visit and will be back for sure! The drive is worth it. read more
