Be the first to I have been going there for two weeks, every year, since 1989. My parents found this park in 1962, quite by accident, while traveling around Lake Superior. I started taking my children there years ago.
Campground Review
Don't let the fact that it's in Ontario scare you off. It's not that far away for us Midwesterners. It's located on beautiful Lake Superior about 60 miles north of Sault Saint Marie, Michigan.
The park is about three miles of Lake Superior shore line with beautiful pristine beach. The camp has hundreds of huge sites, wonderfully foliated, in fern and Canadian wild flowers and forested with pine, spruce, fir, and huge birch and poplar trees.
Pancake Bay is operated by the Canadian Park Service, Ministry of Natural Resources and is immaculate, quiet (and kept that way), and .
There are beach sites, near the beach sites, further away from the beach sites, depending on your taste. Lots of electric. The best shower facilities I've ever seen.
To the east of the park there are literally hundreds, maybe thousands of square miles, more kilometers :), of low mountain wilderness (and I mean wilderness), accessible by mining and logging roads. The area is replete with dozens of lakes, rivers and streams and gorgeous waterfalls. Great trout, walleye and northern fishing and canoeing. It is moose and black bear country and, by the way, the occasional black bear is not an uncommon sight in the bush or and even in the park.
If you're heading up around the Great Lakes this is a super stop-over or a place to spend a few days relaxing and enjoying the outdoors. We use it as a base camp and spend much of our time in in the bush and other wilderness parks, fishing, hiking and canoeing. There is, however, plenty to do right there.
No motorbike, go carts, marching bands or even loud party favors. This is truly a camping park.
Hope you have a chance to introduce your family to this beautiful area someday.
