Reviews
Beautiful campground. Sites are not cramped up together unlike rock lake campground. There is a vault toilet, not great but bearable. Whitefish group site is good. You can easily put up.more than 2 tents. no hydro though. There is a small water entrance on site 501. You can easily launch or leave your canoe/kayak there. No need to access it from the beach everytime. We had a great time. Bring bug nets and repellents. Lots and lots of deer flies in July.
This is an awesome place and must visit by camping lovers. The staff was friendly and helpful. The camp ground is very clean and organized. The washrooms and shower were well maintained. It has canoeing and kayaking facilities. If you want to rent then it will be $18 per single person per hour.
Positives: - Beautiful, huge sites. - clean bathrooms - beautiful lake and beach - perfect location with more beautiful beaches close by and great hiking trails Negatives: - loud due to highway noise - if you’re coming with a camper, the line ups to get water or empty sewage are massive. Everyone lines up to highway 60 on a narrow road and the wait is usually 2 hours. For the size of the park they would need another lane or another station. - 2021 offers some different kind of campers who should probably be sent some pointers about camping etiquette before they arrive.
Pros: gorgeous, tons of hiking, biking and kayaking/canoeing! Lots of wildlife sightings. Well maintained sites and trails. Friendly staff, and everything was super accessible. Regarly cleaned toilets. Our site 220 was way bigger and more private then I anticipated bonus!. Grocery/camping equipment store close by. Cons: our neighbors were awful GTA types. Hardly slept the first night due to the yelling/partying and music yes..music in the radio free zone. Luckily the staff/warden took our complaint very seriously and our next night was much better albeit still a bit noisy. Overall, thoroughly enjoyed our experience and we are already planning our next trip there.
Just finished a 2 nighter with some old and new friends. Beautiful place and plenty to do, rain or shine. Only complaint I have is not booking another night to enjoy this place
Fantastic camp site. Really put in the bush with this place. Dump site is a little far from the campground but it’s Algonquin! So much to do around this area. The tails around his campground and Algonquin in general are amazing. Make sure you bring your bear spray and bells!! Lots of wild life.
One of the best camping site. Beautiful tree lines and nice lake for kayaking. You get on site kayak for less than $50 for a 24 hrs, clean and large campsites, less crowded. Excellent site if you like star grazing.
It was great camping, Pog lake is amazing, it is a clean middle size lake with warm water. It is great for swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking. The lake is connected to other lakes like Lake of two rivers and White fish lake. There are toilets and showers, everything was working fine. And the best part, this year it was almost no mosquitos and no nasty flies. We will definitely comeback again.
Bring so much big spray! The mosquitos are vicious there right now and they will eat you alive. We arrived on a Friday at about 6pm and the office was closed.. it took a long time of driving around to figure out that we needed to drive to a nearby campground to find firewood to buy and the load we got was unfortunately quite damp since there had been quite a bit of rain that day. Our firepit was located in a poor spot, there was a massive muddy puddle next to it which I'm sure attracted even more mosquitos. It dried up a bit the next day but we still had to lay a tarp over it to keep our feet from getting stuck in the mud. I think we just got unlucky with the sight 402 since every other one we saw seemed dryer. Apart from thay rough start we had a pleasant trip. Bathrooms were kept clean, and it's a really pretty area. We even saw a moose nearby.
Wife and I took our first trip up to Algonquin and stayed at pog Lake. Its central enough that most trails, the camp store, visitors centre, etc. Are within a quick drive or bike ride. It has a nice little beach, enough toilets and water available throughout. The sites were well kept and, although it was mostly full, felt private enough with limited noise issues. Can't wait to head back up to Algonquin and check out a few of the other sites.
