The best camping near Oastler Lake Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Choosing from lakeside, beachfront, and river campsites, campers can appreciate the relaxed atmosphere of Oastler, only minutes from downtown Parry Sound. Try fishing for rainbow trout, heading out on a gentle paddle, or playing beach volleyball. For a little cycling adventure, the nearby Seguin Recreational Trail is 70 kilometres of gravel-packed riding over rivers and through ghost towns.

Notable campgrounds

Best for views of park: The premium sites (408-411) at Hardwood Hills Campground are spacious and scenic with panoramic lake views.
Best for beach access: Beachside Campground (1-24) is near the day-use area and park entrance.
Best for quiet reflection: The Point Campground rests on a tiny peninsula with radio-free campsites (200-209) at the tip.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Oastler can be crowded on holiday weekends; be sure to book as early as five months in advance online via Ontario Parks.
You may be able to find sheltered premium sites on the waterfront.
If sites are busy, consider driving further north (about an hour) to a less busy campground.

When to go

This summer-only park is open from May 14 to October 12, drawing families for the entire season. Blackflies and mosquitoes are thick in early May. It’s also when the rainbow trout are practically jumping in your boat. Consider visiting in mid-October, just before the park closes for the season, to avoid the crowds and witness the vibrant orange and yellows at their peak.

Know before you go

Bikers can expect some short but steep hills throughout the park.
You’ll find a dog-friendly section of the beach and pet exercise area near campsite 323.
The park store sells souvenirs and sundries, but for groceries, head into nearby Parry Sound.
Canoes are available on site, but only on a first-come-first-served basis.
Drive slowly through the campgrounds and keep an eye out for turtles crossing the roads.
Hang food from trees to bear-proof your site. They’re attracted to garbage, food, or anything smelly. Even toothpaste!
A train runs beside the campground nightly.
