About
The Marie Louise Lake Campground is renowned for large, lakefront campsites which provide excellent views of the Sleeping Giant.
Sites 118-168 are located on the campground’s windswept point and are ideal for tenting while avoiding bugs.
The pull-through sites 85-96 are perfect for larger trailers that require nearby electrical pedestals and easy access to a comfort station.
Sites 200-221 are the largest, most private campsites in the campground and the distance to electrical pedestals can exceed 100 feet.
Sites 310-319 are located along a 12 km one-way road on the opposite shore of Marie Louise Lake. Some of these campsites require a short 25-50 metre walk to access tenting location(s) adjacent to Marie Louise Lake.
There are 27 backcountry campsites in Sleeping Giant Provincial Park which are divided into seven zones. The Tee Harbour Zone (Zone 1) encompasses 10 campsites, the Lehtinen’s Bay Zone (Zone 2) contains 3 campsites, and the Sawyer Bay Zone (Zone 5) has 3 campsites. These three zones are by far the most popular backcountry camping areas within the park and accordingly, sites at these locations have designated metal firepits, access to privies (or thunder-boxes) and access to shared bear-proof, stainless-steel storage lockers. There are 3 campsites in the Talus Lake Zone (Zone 3), 4 campsites in the Nanabosho Zone (Zone 4), and 3 campsites in the Twinpine Lake Zone (Zone 6) which are more suited for short stop-overs during longer hiking trips. These campsites have basic, stone fire-rings and often do not have access to privies or thunder-boxes. The Finlay Bay Zone (Zone 7) corresponds to a single, isolated campsite at Finlay Bay.
Winter camping is offered November 27 to March 22.
