Overall, the park is a wonderful park, but there are a few drawbacks. The Trans Canada highway runs along the park. We could see it sitting on our site. We slept in tents, and the noise was enough to keep us up at night. Just check your sites location before booking. The sand beach isn't crowded and is breathtaking, especially in the early morning. The trails need work. Lots of muck to walk through, I suggest rubber boots. The beauty of the trails is second to none. We enjoyed our stay. As always, the park staff were friendly.

A nice clean site with friendly staff. The only reason I didn't give five stars is because when it rains the sights often get flooded out. They would benefit by being elevated above the road or partially elevated.

Pancake Bay and Agawa Bay are our favorite campgrounds. Kids love Pancake Bay as the beach is sandy and shallow. A good selection of souvenirs at the camp office and Agawa Craft store. Close to gas stations. Will visit again 😀

This beach is a perfect spot for a picnic. It's incredibly clean and offers fantastic views. You can drive there and purchase a parking ticket for $15, which is valid for the entire day. I visited with my wife and child, and they had a wonderful time. It's only a 55-minute drive from Sault Ste. Marie. If you're looking for a relaxing beach area, this is a must-visit place.
