This is an archive of the backcountry campsites I have either stayed on or explored in my travels through Algonquin Park. Hopefully these reviews will help you in determining whether you want to include a particular site in your own planning, or whether you’d be better off setting up camp in a garbage dump full of toxic waste and broken dreams (Hi Furrow Lake!).

I’ve borrowed this idea from the Algonquin Adventures Portage and Campsite Inventory and I highly recommend checking that site out as part of any planning process for visiting the Park. The information there is fantastic and the people are an incredible resource of knowledge and advice. You’ll note each site has a site number attached to it (see the attached Philip Lake sample map). These aren’t official park site numbers, in fact, there are no numbers for interior sites (and hopefully never will be). When you reserve a lake all you are guaranteeing yourself is a spot on that lake. Sites are first come first serve. I’ve edited a copy of Maps by Jeff’s Algonquin Map (Formerly Jeff’s Map*) to add numbers to each site for the purposes of these reports.

This list is sortable. Just type in the name of the lake you want information on in the search bar in the top right corner of the table and it will display all relevant sites. Each row includes the lake, site number, a related trip report and my rating of the site. The first entry for every lake is a clickable link that will show the map of the lake and every site on it. From time to time you may notice site numbers without links. That means I’ve visited the site, but haven’t got the report up yet. It’ll be there soon!
