A large, gated, mostly seasonal campground near Timmins with clean beaches, a boat launch and a floating water park, geared toward ATV and side-by-side riders.
What visitors say
Big Water Campground near Timmins is a big, gated property where most sites are leased or owned by seasonal campers. Visitors describe it as well organized, spacious and clean, surrounded by quiet northern bush. One guest even caught the northern lights during a stay.
Staff get good marks for being pleasant and helpful, both on arrival and over email or phone. Overnight guests can get full hookups, and a family with a long fifth wheel found the pull-through site long enough, if not very wide. Seasonal campers appreciate services like wood delivery, water delivery and black tank disposal.
The campground leans toward ATVs and side-by-sides, and reviewers say there are plenty of trails nearby. The beaches are clean, the boat launch works well for kayaks and small boats, and there's a floating water park for an extra fee that kids and adults enjoy. One angler caught smallmouth bass and walleye once they switched to live bait. The water is on the cold side.
The main drawbacks are dusty roads and a layout built around seasonal regulars. If you don't ride, it can still make a comfortable layover, and nights are quiet.
