In this video I shared a tour of the Pog Lake Campground at Algonquin Provincial Park. This was a lovely campground with electric and non-electric sites and it was located fairly centrally on the Highway 60 corridor.
And I have to say, Algonquin Provincial Park is definitely my favourite park to date!

What You'll Like:
The essence of Algonquin is in its vast interior of maple hills, rocky ridges, and thousands of lakes - 7,635 square kilometres of forests, bogs, lakes and rivers. The only way to explore the interior of this park is by paddle or on foot. There is also a second Algonquin - along the 56 kilometre stretch of Highway 60. Here you can enjoy camping at one of eight campgrounds, hike one of 14 interpretive trails, take part in the extensive educational Discovery Program, and visit Algonquin’s exceptional Visitor Centre, Logging Museum and Art Centre.
Pog Lake Campground is located at km 36.9 on Highway 60, in a predominantly Pine forest. The campground is divided into three sections, A, B, and C, with a mix of electrical and non-electrical sites. Pets are not permitted in the eastern most loop of the Pog Lake Campground Section A (sites 201-232). Audio devices are not permitted in the eastern most loop of the Pog Lake Campground Section A (sites 201-232).

Yes I’m so happy you liked it :D, Algonquin is massive! That sunset was so nice. If you ever make it to the east side of highway 60 there is a logging museum trail that I think you would like. It shows you what they used and how they lived way back when the first settlers came to Algonquin.

We did make it there! I'm going to share it next week if all goes according to plan. It was pretty nice and some of the other trails were great too. Loved Algonquin.

The park looked so pretty. I really enjoyed the views of the forest, and water front campsites are always a plus. I would definitely want to paddle on the lake (when it is warmer).

Great video, thank you for sharing your experience. I'm heading to Pog Lake this summer for a week and it will be my first time there as well. It was very helpful to see the campsites since the photos on the Provincial Park don't give you a very good idea of what the sites look like. Your video was well done, very informative and gave me a good idea of what the park and amenities are really like. Looking forward to your next adventure and if it's a camping trip, I will surely check out your recommendations. Safe travels! 😎🏕

Thanks for the kind words! Pog Lake is a great park and centrally located which we really enjoyed for exploring the trails and surrounding area. The photos on the Ontario Parks site can be so awful! Some sites don't even have a photo.

@@TheAverageTourist You're most welcome! The Park looks great and not completely remote. I'm a bit tentative about tent camping in the more remote parts of Algonquin due to a very frightening Bear encounter years ago. If I were in a small trailer, I'd be more adventurous but I'm fine in the tent when I have neighbors. 😊 Yes, the photos definitely don't give you a true sense of what the site is really like. Gone are the days when you could simply arrive at a Park and take a drive through to pick your spot then check in with the Ranger to book the site. Your videos are extremely helpful in this regard. Thanks a lot, you and Allan keep the videos coming. 😎👍🏕

It looks so peaceful by the lake, shame it was too cold to get in but would be lovely to get out on a SUP or kayak there. Guessing it’s getting colder now, will you brave camping during winter time? 🥶

08:24 the garbage containers are called moloks. They keep odor down because the waste at the bottom stays cold. Due to height, it compresses the garbage naturally. Also keeps water out, hold a lot of waste and can be emptied with a crane infrequently.

Ah thanks for sharing, that's very interesting - we had never seen them before. You learn something new every day!

is it best to reserve a canoe from somewhere before we go, or are there enough supply/ options that we can rent when we get there?
@TheAverageTourist
@TheAverageTourist 10 месяцев назад
They have outfitters but if you are visiting at a busier time I'd reserve in advance. Some deliver right to your campsite too.

@TheAverageTourist

We don't have any pictures that show the site - just our trailer. I do remember it was completely open on both sides. There are cedars between the sites, but they are tall, so there really was no lower foliage to divide the sites.
