A beach with Adirondack chairs to relax in after a morning of fishing. The lodge is a great place to hang out during rainy days. Boat launch, and plenty of dock space. Cons: The only con I have is that I live 14 hours away, that and no dogs are allowed. My family has been going to French River for close to 20 years now and every time we leave with memories that will last a lifetime. Waking up in the morning and fishing, and then coming back to the cabin to cook breakfast before we filet our catch in the morning. Water skiing, drinking, sunbathing, swimming, playing board games during the day followed by a sunset view from 'the rock' overlooking the beach and finishing the day with a fire. This place is truly a gem that my family cherishes. After so many memories here as a child I cannot wait to take my children.

This is a wonderful park! We had the greatest site ... a walk in, with it's own little access to…read morethe waterfront. We were conveniently located, right beside the Dog Beach (we have two dogs who need to run and swim). The dogs had a great time doing doggy things: swimming, running and playing with new dog friends. Sadly, for the people, the swim wasn't quite as satisfactory, as it was quite shallow water, and we couldn't get a really good open-water swim. Then, we found a new possibility. We drove to the start of the Ranger's Trail, followed it, then cut down a path toward the lake to find a magnificent open water swim !location. Clear, calm water, and you can lounge on the rocks and swim in from them. The water gets deep very fast, so be careful! My walk-in site had the most amazing toilet. OK I don`t usually write toilet reviews, but this Clivus was something to behold. The port-a-let cubicle was clean and well ventilated. The ventilation was something that surprised me, as I'd never seen a ventilated vault toilet before. It was such a great toilet: no smells at all. The staff came and cleaned it three times a day. OK, on to the landscape, which is beautiful: rolling hills, mixed forest, Canadian shield. There are so many lakes 8in this area that, I am told, the kayaking is very good. I may not do kayaking, but I do love stargazing. We were lucky to be at Restoule on August 12, when the annual meteor showers arrive. It was also my daughter's birthday. We took a blanket and pillows down to the waterfront and looked at the stars, which appeared so much larger than they do in the GTA. Our goal was to see 12 shooting stars. Within 45 minutes, we had our targeted quota and more! It's a lovely little park, and if you like an electric site, their electric sites are relatively private and spacious. I found the staff quite friendly, but I did not have cause to interact with them very often. It is also close to nearby towns, in case you forgot something (I recommend Gerry's General Store in Restoule)

Restoule Provincial Park is located north of Algonquin Provincial Park along Hwy 534. The closest…read moretown is Township of Restoule which is just a few blocks (only one restaurant in the whole town). The closest large town is Town of Port Loring. I want to review it because it is a great park but is almost a best kept secret to Torontonians, though people living in up north frequent there. The park has 3 campgrounds, two are non-electrical (Putts Point, Bells Point) and one is electrical (Kettle Point). The campsites in Putts Point and Kettle Point campgrounds are in good condition. The sites in Kettle Point seem smaller than Putt Point's, where I stayed. I estimate that an average sized campsite in Putt Point is a large campsite in Kettle Point. However, Kettle Point is more popular and the sites get booked faster, because there are a lot of RV and trailers campers. I don't like the sites at Bells Point campground. There is a comfort centre in Kettle Point and another one in Putts Point. There is no comfort centre in Bells Point. They are both in good condition. The shower water is hotter in the morning and afternoon. It becomes lukewarm in the evening. The park has access to both Stormy Lake and Lake of Restoule. The water is really clear. Both lakes have boat launch ramps. During my long weekend stay, I saw people playing motor boating, water skiing, sea-doo, fishing, sailing (only in Stormy Lake), canoeing and kayaking. The park office gives out a water way map that shows the good fishing spots. I didn't see many swimmers, probably because the water is quite shallow in the beach areas. There is also a separate dog beach. Hiking and wildlife sighting are good as well. I saw a deer up close on the Angel Point Trail (took pictures too). The best and longest trail is Fire Tower Trail. It has a spectacular lookout point overseeing Stormy Lake. This park is honestly beautiful. The water is clear; the air is clean. It is so natural and unspoiled. Star gazing is lovely on the boat launch docks, so bring your telescope. There are additional reviews on this park on Tripadvisors, should you want more details.

Since coming here back in September with four of my buddies, I've been reflecting on the experience. As part of our now seemingly-annual camping trips, I found this to be a better overall experience than last year's stay at Sturgeon Bay -- but not without some caveats. There is no question that if you're looking for prime views of the lake and ease of access to nearby towns and activities, this is the place to go. A relatively-quiet space just outside the town of Temagami, this site is much further removed from the action and offers a lot of opportunities for hiking, boating and fishing. My friends and I stayed in the site's sole cabin, which has a prime view of the lake and featured a whole bunch of amenities and tools, including a barbecue, cleaning supplies and four beds. Despite the additional features, I wasn't as big on this cabin as my friends were. For one, the place turns into an absolute sauna at night, even with all the windows open and fans going. I ended up sleeping on the couch and could barely get any sleep for the first two days due to the heat and other external factors. That being said, the cabin was an undeniably beautiful place. Filled with plenty of rustic touches, it was incredibly peaceful when I just wanted to sit and read a book. The attached barbecue also came in incredibly handy, and I ended up cooking for the group for the majority of the trip. Most of the campsites are big, and it wasnt uncommon this late in the season to see couples and large families braving colder weather and bringing their RVs or camps to enjoy the season. In fact, the weather may have made it even busier, as I saw a number of people walking around nonchalantly with heavy raingear just days before the park closed for the season. The staff are a bit strict on the campers, but then again, we were acting like a bunch of schmucks on the first night and had built a campfire that was too large. Coming off the heels of a nearby forest fire, it's no surprise that we were read the Riot Act for it. The warden, Hannah, was fairly polite otherwise, and the rest of the staff were good. The warden's office doesn't have much in the way of amenities (only one central bathroom/set of showers, balanced out by unique services like a fish cleaning station), but it's adequate. Luckily, the site was fairly close to the town of Temagami. My friends were able to paddle down to the town (forgoing the truck) to pick up supplies. More than one review online has mentioned how the park is a nightmare for boats (to the point that it's been referred to as "the 407 of the north" on one forum), and it's hard to argue with that point. You'd best hope you have no plans to sleep regularly, because big boats and biplanes will roar past the lake in the middle of the night. I didn't even get any sleep for the first two days because of the constant noise from large biplanes flying at impossibly-low altitudes overhead, and my friends very nearly had a collision with a plane landing in the lake when they were out canoeing. It's also a bit tough for some trucks and vans, as the paths are narrow and it can be hard to maneuver around the site. There is no question that the park has character, though. Whether it was befriending some of the local wildlife (don't tell the staff that the chipmunks love chocolate bars) or dipping your feet into the lake at the docks at sunset, this is an impossibly beautiful site that offers a lot of great views and makes you feel like you're in the heart of cottage country. Well worth a visit if you're in the area. Recommended!

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
