Quetico
Campgrounds

Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario is a well-known wilderness destination offering various camping options for outdoor enthusiasts. Among its facilities, the Dawson Trail Campground, Chippewa, and Ojibwa campsites stand out for their accessibility and amenities.

Dawson Trail Campground is located at the park’s northeast boundary near French Lake. It serves as the main entry point for visitors traveling by road and offers both tent and RV sites. Facilities at Dawson Trail include restrooms, showers, and electrical hookups for RVs. A visitor center nearby provides information, and the campground offers direct access to hiking trails and canoe routes.

Chippewa and Ojibwa campgrounds are also part of the Dawson Trail area. They are situated close to each other, providing similar amenities such as fire pits, picnic tables, and access to potable water. These campgrounds cater to campers looking for easy access to the park’s amenities without venturing far into its interior. Nearby French Lake offers opportunities for swimming, paddling, and fishing.

The park emphasizes low-impact camping practices to preserve its natural environment and is designated as a dark sky preserve, offering exceptional opportunities for stargazing. While these campgrounds provide convenience and basic facilities, they also serve as starting points for exploring Quetico’s extensive backcountry. Quetico is renowned for its wilderness canoe routes, and backcountry campers are required to acquire permits in advance.
