A riverside resort and campground on the Spanish River in Ontario's Algoma District, known for walleye fishing, clean cabins, boat rentals and a very hands-on owner. Book well ahead in season.
Spanish River Resort & Campground sits right on the Spanish River, with water views from many sites and cabins. Reviewers describe it as a quiet, easy-going northern Ontario spot with a mix of seasonal campers and people passing through. Several say they only meant to stay a night and wished they could have stayed longer.
The owner is the reason most reviewers give five stars. Guests describe him as welcoming, easy to reach by phone or email, and generous with advice on where to fish. The cabins are simple but clean and comfortable, with a bathroom and hot shower, fridge, microwave, coffee maker and hot plates or burners. A couple of guests noted there's no full oven, so bring a slow cooker or air fryer if you plan to cook. Rental boats are tied up steps from the cabins, and there's a launch, plenty of slips and a fish cleaning station with running water.
Fishing is the main draw. Anglers report catching walleye most days, including one 25-inch fish, and some chartered a boat during their stay. There's dock fishing too, plus canoe and kayak rentals. Families like the swimming area and the small play structures around the grounds, and one group of rock hounds found agates and other stones on site. Elliot Lake's beach is within day-trip range.
Complaints are rare in the reviews. The main practical tip from repeat visitors is to book early, since cabins and waterfront sites fill up during the fishing season.
