Fort William Historical Park
A budget campground on an open lawn in front of Fort William Historical Park in Thunder Bay, Ontario, handy for a stopover and a visit to the reconstructed fur trade post.
What visitors say
The campground at Fort William Historical Park is a large grassy field in front of the living-history site, a reconstructed early-1800s fur trading post with costumed interpreters. Travellers crossing northern Ontario use it as a quiet, reasonably priced stopover.
Reservations are handled online, with self check-in when the office is closed. Washrooms and showers are in trailers, with one toilet per gender, and the Wi-Fi works well. It's set back from the main road, so traffic noise isn't an issue, and recent visitors found it clean and well kept.
Several campers spent time at the historical park itself and found it worth the visit.
Sites are open with no trees or shade. One visitor found the grass overgrown and the campground lights, which stay on all night, hard to sleep under. Bring an eye mask if that bothers you.
