An Ontario provincial park near Vermilion Bay with a long, shaded beach on Blue Lake, big treed sites and playgrounds, though flush toilets are limited.
What visitors say
Blue Lake Provincial Park is set among tall spruce and pine in northwestern Ontario, and the lake is the star. Reviewers praise the long beach and swimming area, with plenty of shade and playgrounds spread along the shore. Sites are big and wooded, some more open and some more private.
Staff are described as friendly and knowledgeable, and the park is kept clean. There's a well-stocked camp store at the gate, laundry, clean showers, weekend activities and some accessibility features that one visitor appreciated.
It's a strong pick for families, since you're never far from the beach or a playground. There are a few hiking trails, though one camper noted there aren't many. Overnight stops work well too, and one traveller found their loop very quiet.
One recent reviewer found only a few flush toilets for the whole campground, often out of service, and electrical posts placed awkwardly enough that a longer cord may be needed. Bring an extension cord if you're booking an electrical site.
