CAMPGROUNDS

To see the Map Layout of each campground click on the name of the campground you are interested in.

Tea Lake: This is the first campground that you come across when you enter through the West Gate of the Park. Tea lake is a rather large lake that connects to Smoke lake. The campsites vary in sizes. There are some that would only fit a tent and then there are some that will fit a small trailer. Motor boats are allowed on the lake however you can only have up to 20 hp. While camping at Tea Lake take your time to canoe around and maybe canoe past Camp Tamakwa which was featured in the movie Indian Summer!
Canisbay Lake: This is by far my favorite campground. There are 2 sections with hydro for those of you who are camping with trailers and then two sections that are hydro, radio and dog free. If you are tenting then you want to stay in the radio free section as some of the sites are walk-in sites. The lake itself is fairly shallow.....I can walk to the Island with it only being over my head in one small section. There are also canoe-in sites for those of you who want to try your hand at interior camping but don't want to go too far.
Mew Lake: This campground is the only one within the Hwy 60 corridor that is open year round. During the summer Mew lake offers a large number of Hydro and non Hydro sites. In the winter you can stay in a Yurt(see blog for more info). Mew Lake offers access to the old airfield where blueberry picking is the best in August as well as to the Railroad Bike Trail which takes you all the way to Rock Lake. There is also access to the Highland and Track anc Tower hiking trails.
Two Rivers: Lake of Two Rivers is probably the most open campground along Hwy 60. If you plan to go camping with a large group of friends then this is probably your best spot because the sites are closer together and you can see your neighbours. Lake of Two Rivers is a large lake that connects to Pog, Whitefish and Rock Lakes through the Madawaska River. Motor boats up to 20 hp are allowed on this lake but not on any of the adjoining lakes. There is also a store located along Hwy 60 that you can walk to from within the campground.
Pog Lake: This is my second favorite. Pog lake is a large campground that has been a favorite among families for years. With access to the Madawaska River canoers have the option of going to Lake of Two Rivers or Whitefish and Rock Lake from the dam. The sites vary in size but the most popular sites there are along the river so book early! There are two beaches, one in the A section and one in the C section. The C section is the best spot for trailers as the sites are bigger however the A section does have hydro. Pog Lake also connects to the Railroad Bike Trail.
Kearny Lake: This is a much smaller more secluded campground. The lake itself is quite small. Kearny tends to be the spot for the RV's and older families to go. Located across the street from Pog Lake you can bike to the Railroad Bike trail. This campground does not have electricity.
Coon Lake: Coon lake is a very small campground with 48 sites available. This campground is not usually that busy due to the fact that it doesn't have a good beach and there are no flush toilets or showers. You can go down the road to Rock Lake for that though. If you are looking rough it this is probably a good choice.
Rock Lake: This is a large campground with access to a couple of interior canoeing routes. Rock Lake was the first campground to be privatized. The sites are close together with not a lot of privacy. There is electricity for your trailers, flush toilets and showers. With access to the interior, to the Booth's Rock Trail, and the Railroad Bike Trail, Rock lake can be very busy. Motor boats are allowed on this lake up to 20hp which can make canoeing difficult. Beware if you are out canoeing that Rock Lake can be very windy and can make it a very tough paddle back to shore.
