Shaded campsites within easy access of the lake are available for both full RV hookup and primitive camping.

The park has electric campsites open all year for those campers wishing to enjoy the pleasure of the park in the off-season. Frost free hydrants are available at Toronto Point and Manns Cove. A limited number of campsites are available to be reserved. Reservations may be made in person, by phone or by mail to the park office.
The six hiking trails wind through extensively wooded habitat teaming with a variety of native wildlife. Park naturalists are on staff in the summer months to help provide a variety of outdoor learning experiences.
