Camping at Elliot Lake

On the way to Elliot Lake from Perth, we went through North Bay where we stopped at a visitor centre. On display there is the original Dionne quintuplets home.

On all of our visits to Elliot Lake we camped at the Municipal Campground. It is convenient to town and heading out north from there, takes you to Mississagi Provincial Park, about 20 minutes away. Mississagi Park has great trout fishing but no electrical hookups, plus the road to get there is paved but not the greatest. Besides the camping fee at the Municipal Park is only $20/night and that includes electricity and water. There are never many campers there and you pretty much have the park to ourselves.

These trout were caught in Helenbar Lake which is one portage away from Semiwhite Lake. These lakes are located in Mississagi P.P.

Murphy's Point

Murphy's Point is located about 20 minutes south west of Perth in eastern Ontario. It is a little bit hard to get to if you are coming to it via 401. There is no short cut to it; one has to head towards Perth on highway 15 and follow the small signs to Murphy's Point. Do not cut off on Road 14 thinking it would be shorter - the road is not suitable for vehicles hauling RVs. If you are coming to it via highway 7, then you go through Perth south on highway 15 and follow the signs.
The park reminds me of Silent Lake Provincial Park in many ways. The terrain is rolling and the water is beautiful. Some of the sites are suitable for RV. We were in site #55 and it was fine. Many of the sites though were sloped so make sure that you read the descriptions of the sites well before selecting them.
