Sandbanks Provincial Park

Eastern Ontario


Summer camping at Sandbanks is scenic and stress-free, but these lakeside sites get booked up to five months ahead. There are also two cottages, both requiring a minimum one-week stay in summer. They have two or four bedrooms, a working fireplace, satellite TV and a full kitchen. Bookings must be made through Ontario Parks.

Both electrical and nonelectrical sites are available; rates vary.
