Agawa Bay Campground
A provincial campground on the Lake Superior shore, praised for beach sites, sunsets, colourful stones and friendly staff. Highway 17 noise and summer bugs are the main trade-offs.
What visitors say
Agawa Bay Campground sits right on the shore of Lake Superior, and the lake is the reason people come. Reviewers talk about clear water, ocean-like views and long sunsets, and some sites are a minute's walk from the beach. One autumn tent camper fell asleep to the sound of the waves.
Staff get consistent praise for being friendly and informative, and one visitor was given tips on protecting the dunes. Most reviewers found the park clean and well organized, with good showers and bathrooms. One camper had a less positive stay three months ago, with a fire pit full of trash, no one at the front desk to sell firewood, and washrooms and showers in poor shape.
The beach is covered in smooth, colourful stones, including agates, and the trails get good reviews too. Day passes are available if you just want to visit. The Agawa Rock Pictographs are nearby, but one visitor noted they close to the public from around mid-September.
The campground is close to Highway 17, and some campers brought ear plugs for traffic noise. Bugs can be very bad in summer, and the lake stays cold even into the fall, so pack bug protection and plan any swim accordingly.
