The campground at Kakabeka Falls Provincial Park near Thunder Bay, with large, often private sites and easy walking access to the falls. Bring a long extension cord for electrical sites.
Whispering Hills is the campground at Kakabeka Falls, west of Thunder Bay, and the falls are the main event. Reviewers enjoyed the walkways and bridge that give views and photo angles from several levels, and a few mentioned seeing wildlife around the park.
Campers say the sites are good-sized and, depending on the one you get, quite private. The washrooms have showers separate from the toilets, which one visitor appreciated. Most describe the park as clean and well kept, though one guest found the facilities could have been cleaner on a busy summer weekend.
It works well as a stop for travellers crossing northern Ontario, and several people have stayed on both legs of a road trip. Biking around the park is popular, though the hill up to some sites is a stiff walk.
The recurring practical issue is power. On some sites the electrical outlet is shared and set well back between sites, so reviewers recommend bringing a long cord, perhaps 30 feet. Bugs can be intense in summer, and one camper wished there were showers at the far end of the campground.
