What visitors say

Chippewa Park sits on the shore of Lake Superior at Fort William First Nation, just outside Thunder Bay. Visitors describe the scenery as stunning, and campers mention a great view of the Sleeping Giant. It's a peaceful place to camp that's still close to the city for supplies.

The park offers campsites and cabins for nightly, weekly or monthly stays, along with day-use areas for picnics and barbecues. Staff are described as helpful. A spacious off-leash dog park next to the campground, with water, trees and grass, gets a special mention from dog owners.

It's a family spot. There are swimming areas, a playground and flat, even walking paths along the water, and the park's vintage amusement rides are still running, with ticket booklets available. Fishing boats and kayaks are often out on the lake.

One recent visitor noted crews clearing trees and downed power lines after a strong windstorm, so check conditions before you go. Reviews otherwise raise few complaints.
