Sparrow Lake Camp is situated on the southernmost tip of the majestic Canadian Shield.  The site is known to have been a campground for bands of the Huron people prior to the European intrusion.  It is considered probable that Samuel de Champlain, the first European to explore Huronia, spent a night on this site in the 17th Century. In 1892, what would become the west side of the current property was sold by pioneer Captain Thomas Stanton to Toronto's renowned Massey family to act as their summer resort.  The resort sported the main lodge, dining room, and cottages and was only accessible by train and steamer. From the onset, the Masseys used the site as a summer retreat for the Young Men's Bible League of the Central Methodist Church.  Today, the property is a thriving summer camp that also offers overnight tent stays with stunning lake views.

Camping at this site offers a delightful blend of privacy and scenic beauty, with many campers appreciating the platform and picnic table setup. The provision of canoes and the easy paddle to the campsite are highly praised, enhancing the sense of seclusion despite the occasional noise from nearby cottages or passing trains. While some find the site perfect for fishing and wildlife watching, others mention challenges with setting up tents due to platform gaps, and noise from loud music or train horns. Overall, the site's charm and the accommodating staff make it a favorite return spot for many outdoor enthusiasts.
