Fitzroy Provincial Park

This is a very lovely park. One of the busier parks that I have been to for the provincial parks this year. Lots of signage to warn people of the ticks in the area, but surprisingly didn't see any and went on a few paths that were off trail. Great place to bring the kids for a day of fishing or swimming at the public beach. Nice variety of camp spots. Lots of great spots to fish. For an added treat, the pizza place in Fitzroy Harbour will deliver to you camp site.

Park is small but unique. It has two camp grounds, two beaches. No visitor center. Small park store is very organized and it has Coffee, milk, egg, pancake mixture and all the other standard items such ice,firewood etc. Park store supervisor lady M.Hicks is efficient and dealing with long lineup while training two new hires. Canoe rentals start at 8AM and $ 50 for 24 hrs. Can rent for 12 hrs and min 4hrs. All the camp sites are different to each other. We had a non electric sitepine grove and all the site have adequate privacy. Beach area has a large public area there is lots of room without it feeling crowded. The only wish is that the roped off section is small and feeling congested.

We visited for a walk through the falls trail. There are not many to offer, but they are very nice and not difficult. However, I recommend you keep your eyes on the trails while moving due to the roots that can catch the unsuspecting toe. There are areas that are steep, but only a few and very short. The trail took us about an hour to complete at a leisurely pace, stopping to watch squirrels and birds along the way. Visiting in late August, the waterfalls were just mud with no trickle of water to be seen. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the scenery and the walk.

Always have a fantastic time at the park! Had a beautiful spot along the river this latest trip. Always lots of wildlife in the park. Two beach’s and water was warm in mid August.

My favorite provincial park. It has everything. Lovely hiking trails, beach to swim or 2 rivers to boat in. Very picturesque with a mixture of old hard wood and White Pine trees. Camp sites are more spacious than most other parks. Clean and well kept.

A great camping option not far from Ottawa. The sites are fairly close, and there is little privacy, but that's to expected at a provincial park campground. The came store has the essentials, and a large Metro is only 20 minutes away in Arnprior.

We are back for our second camping trip and having a blast. We did Carp trail and the Terraces trail. Both great trails for young kids. Make sure you stop and grab a guide to the trail at the registration hut as it has some really great facts about the trail and the rocks you are viewing.

We camp here every summer and it ever disappoints. We go during the week and it is always very quiet. The beaches are clean and great for swimming and picnics. There are many spots to put in your kayaks/ canoes/SUP.

Beautiful provincial park with a beach in walking distance, trails, rivers and a general store. Rentals are pretty cheap and come with life jackets. The locals recommend coming in to see which camp ground you like the most before booking your spot

We had campsite #2 at the Pinegrove campground. I liked that it led down to the water. Keep in mind, it’s more of a swampy stream. But kids still had fun walking in it and we saw deer crossing twice in our 3 days there. There are 2 nice beaches nearby. Both stay shallow a ways out, so great for young kids. One was walking distance and the other a short drive. There are a couple walking trails and you can rent a canoe for 4 hours min for $35 wish you could do less time bc kids only lasted 1 hour and also the river is super rocky, so you can’t really go far w/out getting stuck in rocks and having to keep a constant eye out. Bathrooms could be more clean they were cleaned once in our 3 days there. Liked that there were lots of showers and free to use. There’s A LOT of wildlife, including seeing a skunk in our campsite and we had raccoons open our closed storage totes and steal bags of chips at night. Suggest keeping all containers/coolers with food in your car at night! I truly wish there were more electrical sites available. It was high 80’s-90°F when we were there and it didn’t cool down very much at night. Was definitely wishing for a fan and also had to ask other ppl to use their electrical to put air in our air mattress. Came home with poison ivy, so definitely be careful of that. All in all, I would still recommend for a family vacation with a 2 year old and 8 month old. There’s a Tim Hortons & Dairy Queen 15 mins away, if you want to grab a treat away from the campground.
