Stop Along the Way Campground
A small, family-run campground in Schreiber, Ontario, on a remote stretch of Highway 17. A good overnight stop with full hookups, clean washrooms and very helpful owners.
What visitors say
Stop Along the Way Campground lives up to its name: a small, simple park on a quiet stretch of the Trans-Canada near Schreiber, with not much else around in either direction. Sites are set in an open, grassy field with some shaded spots and a forest view on one side. It sits below road grade, so most campers say highway noise passes overhead, though one tenter still found the traffic noticeable.
The owners get the credit in almost every review. Travellers describe them checking in, delivering firewood, bringing a table and chairs to a tenter, and even letting a cyclist use their workshop. Several guests arrived early in the season or off-season and were still found a spot with power and water, and one visitor used it as a winter base camp. Sites range from tent spots to water and electric and full hookups, with both pull-through and back-in options.
The bathhouse is small, with two showers and two toilets per side. Reviewers call it dated but spotless, with hot water and good pressure. It works best as an overnight or short stay for people crossing the country, and there's a discovery centre across the road plus beaches in Schreiber and Terrace Bay nearby.
The main caveat is that it's basic: an open field rather than a destination campground. Early in the season the grassy sites can be too soft to park on, so ask for a firmer spot if it's been wet.
