Lake St Peter Provincial Park

Overall Park Rating: 8/10
Nature Aspects Rating: 7/10
Recreational Camping Rating: 8/10










This park has everything Algonquin has except the over camped feel!  It's one of my favourite parks.  The first time I camped there i was a little kid, i think 10 or so.  My family was tent camping and we had one of the sites right on the water.   (which is a good portion of the sites).   We forgot one of the tents so me and my sister rigged up a tarp and slept on picnic tables, it was quite the adventure.    I've been back twice since and it lived up to my childhood memories wonderfully!









This park has a lot of very nice, sites, in general they are quite private and large!   the trail (which is across the road from the park)  features some nice scenery, with trees and rocks and cliffs and the remnats of an old hunt cabin.  It's all very picturesque and beautiful.



There is a park store, boat rentals, and crazy squirels that take all the needles off pine trees and nearly fall out of the trees!


when we were there last year the wood was dry to, which seems to be a bonus instead of a regularity these days.




That's about all i've got to say.  it's a wonderful park and if your looking for the "algonquin" experiene but don't like camping in parks that have no grass, or anything between the sites, this park is what you need!
