Review from Tara A.
8/4/2009
My BF and I have been camping since we started dating and this year we decided to branch out from our car camping. I picked a new location, The Massasauga Provincial Park and we set to our adventure. Here is a breakdown of the weekend:
1. Arrive at the information point and mention that we have a site. The girl there gives me a map of the access point and sends me on my way. 45 minutes later we find out that at the information point is where we get our Canoe (BTW- no one told me I was strapping a canoe to my car!) and register... back to the information office.
2, 1.5 hours later we get in the canoe and head to our site. there were 5 portages, 1 of which wasn't labelled accurately and there wasn't a defined trail, another didn't even have the sign up!. Anyways, we finally arrive at our very isolated site, only to find that it was a site on a rock surrounded by marsh (site 108 if you ever care to go).
3. We high tailed it back to the last site we saw that looked vacant (Site 107) - it was 45 minutes away from 108 and we set up camp as the sun went down. This site was brilliant. On a beautiful isolated lake. We never saw another human the entire time. Brilliant location.
4. On our return, there was another portage that wasn't labeled that also led us to the labeled exit which wasn't actually an exit. We have to go thru the beaver trees to get over to the other lake.
The reason why I am giving this park an A-Ok is because although we went thru absolute intensity to get to our site, it was the most beautiful site and most beautiful lake I have seen. Ontario has some incredible landscape and this was no exception. I highly recommend you check out the sites on Massasauga and perhaps only endure 1 or 2 portages. all of the sites were fabulous minus 108.
