An amazing area to overland with a fair amount of space with room for a nice camp fire. Since it’s right by the river it’s also an amazing place to fish too. The entrance is a tight so if you have a very large over-landing vehicle I don’t think you’d be able to make it through the trees. If you can’t fit I’d recommend parking in the entrance. The entrance is a bit hidden so the best way to enter is heading west and it is on the left just before the wolf river bridge. If you can visit this place you definitely should because it is probably the best place to camp for hundreds of kilometers.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
I was looking for a place for a picnic lunch and stumbled across this little gem. What a perfect tent location! Good for camper Van's and RTT also. If it wasn't October, I'd be on that rope swing! Looks very fishy too. There are a couple great walk-in tent sites 100' downstream too.
You will have to approch from the north to make the tight turn in at the guardrail.
Report Check-InHighway very noisy for a tent, otherwise great. even took a refreshing swim brrrr.
Report Check-InAmazing. My 24 ft motorhome fit down the windy road and was totally worth it. Seam in the river - the salmo are just about to start running, so it will be even more amazing in a Cooke of weeks.
Report Check-InStayed here. It’s a great spot lots of space for multiple vehicles and tents. The road in is hard to spot. If you’re coming from Thunder Bay it’s just after the bridge on the right hand side and a sharp turn. The road in is quite tight due to a partial washout. Wolf River runs right behind the camping spot. There are some fire pits there. Nice and sandy, mostly flat. Still near the TCH so you’ll hear the traffic a little bit. Feels like you’re not near the road. Lots of garbage. Do better people.
Report Check-InThis is such a beautiful spot! Don’t be put off by the gravelly, pot-holed road - it’s worth the detour.
Report Check-InPerfect rest stop. Thank you ioverlander!
The road in was very short… no need for 4x4. We came in with our econoline e350… no issues at all.
Water is fabulous.
Great spot to overnight near the TCH but far enough off to feel like you are away from it. You can still hear big trucks on the bridge but can’t see them. OThe entrance is 4x4 recommended, at least make sure you have some clearance.
Report Check-Inflooded right now. usually a great spot I stop at cross country every year
Report Check-Insuper nice, we arrive late and passed other vans / campers so we took last spot by the water. as mentioned, we barely cleared the trees but made it, 4x4 suggested, we had pickup truck with cab. also as mentioned, quiet fishermen were fishing when we awoke at 630
Report Check-InRoad into larger camping area is tight due to the the river bank sloughing off. We opted not to try it in our Tundra with a camper. Narrow vehicles could still access it. We camped in the first flat area. Nice spot but very close to the highway, so highway noise all night. Great swim hole too! One other camper stayed in the same area but enough space and privacy to not bother each other.
Report Check-Inthis is an amazing spot that you will not want to miss. There's lots of room for numerous vehicles. We were in a Ford Transit high roof and there was another group with a truck camper.
Report Check-Ingorgeous- bottomed out a bit on the way in but worth it for a level spot to sleep by a river to dip in at dawn.
Report Check-InNice spot. It is as most people but the mosquitoes in the evening were intense. spent a good couple of hours swatting them in the camper before comfortably being able to go to sleep.
Report Check-InExcellent place for pedal bike or adventure motor bike as u can ride 100 feet down stream to a camping spots for 2 or 3 small tents
Report Check-Inamazing spot with beautiful flowing river and a snady beach area. pretty wide open so hard to find shade until evening and also close to the highway so there some sound.
Report Check-InSuperbe endroit sur le bord de la rivière, chemin très étroit nous avons dû retenir les branches pour ne pas grafigner le campeur. Beaucoup de pêcheurs locaux à cette période de l’année.
Report Check-Inwe stayed here one night and shared it with another vehicle. beautiful spot, a bit rough getting in. we stayed on a Friday and early Saturday there were about 5 people here fishing. definitely recommend, just know it might be noisy in the morning.
when arriving, continue down the suspicious looking path. if you don't think you could fit 5+ vehicles, you haven't driven far enough!
Report Check-InSorry, correction: In my note I said approach from the west. No. Approach from the westbound lanes (meaning: approach from the East, in fact!).
Report Check-InDefinitely approach from the west. It’s narrow and bumpy on way in - not for large rigs. My van was brushed by trees on both sides. But once in it’s well worth it. Stream sounds and trees all around - but yes there is definitely noise from the highest above. Still, it’s great.
Report Check-InVery close to the highway, but ideal for a 4x4 or AWD rig, if it’s wet it could be a risky entrance for a 2WD vehicle but not impossible. Plenty of space for multiple vehicles.
Report Check-InIncredible spot. Beautiful, many spots, has a rope swing and a little homemade dock. There were 2 other groups there and we all ate togeher around the fire. All good people! If you meet someone named Noles, tell him Eli says hi. He camps there often.
Report Check-InVery near a relatively busy hwy. The site is really nice, though a bit of garbage and toilet paper around (how do people not understand!!! bury, burn or pack out your tp!!)
locals swimming and fishing spot, but good camp spots tucked out of the way around a sketchy corner.
I'm sure there are much nicer, much quieter spots to be found rather than this. Works fine for a night though.
Report Check-InLots of space for vans here, would not recommend bringing any vehicle too big. The entrance is right at the bridge on the left while driving west.
Some noise from the highway, but a good spot for 1 night. Looks like some locals put up a rope swing for swimming too!
