Camping & Hiking · Scenic Views · Ontario
A Lake Superior provincial park near Rossport, Ontario, with two campgrounds, beaches, the Rainbow Falls trail and stunning lake views. Clean and quiet, though sites can be open and after-hours check-in is online only.
Rainbow Falls Provincial Park sits on the north shore of Lake Superior and is split into two campgrounds: a wooded main campground with sheltered sites and a sandy beach, and the smaller Rossport section right on the lake. Reviewers consistently mention spectacular views and sunsets.
Campers describe a clean, quiet park, even on a busy long weekend. There are powered sites with water for RVs, washrooms with showers, and laundry. Some areas are open and grassy with little privacy, while others are wooded and protected from the wind. Lakeside sites are beautiful but can be chilly.
There's plenty to do for a stop of a night or several. Visitors hike the falls and beach trails, swim or wade at the pebble beach, and look for sea glass along the shore. It's open for day use and in winter, with groomed trails for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, and access to the Casque Isles Trail.
The main frustration is registration. A couple of visitors arrived after the office closed and had to book and pay online, and one notes the website stops same-day booking in the late afternoon. Book ahead if you'll arrive late.
