Covered Bridge Park is a magnificent 150 acres waterfront campground on Bonnechere River with cottages, cabins, tent and trailer sites. We are located east of Algonquin Provincial Park and located in Tramore on the north side of Bonnechere River between Round Lake and Golden Lake. Enjoy beautiful Ontario summers with great fishing, swimming, canoeing and wildlife viewing. Discover Natures Playground on this old farm that has been preserved in its natural state with 100 acres of mature forest, meadows and trails; only a small portion of the property has been developed into a Campground.

Weekend Trip to Covered Bridge Park
My husband and I absolutely loved our time here. Especially right beside the river. Wish we would have brought our chest waders to walk right into the river. Beautiful sunsets. The quietest campsite we have ever visited. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much!

Everything was great! Big site right next to the beach with electricity, water and flush toilets very close (always clean). Hosts were very friendly and accommodating and so were the other people at the campground. Wood was delivered to our site and it was a good price for a lot of wood. Amazing fireworks display for Canada Day! Water was beautiful! Absolutely nothing to complain about. Very happy to have found this place and looking forward to going back😊
