Arrived at Canisbay campground, which is an OK place to stay for the night if you are looking for a convenient place near the Canoe Lake put-in for next morning's trip into the park interior, but be prepared to turn in late...
On this long weekend Friday evening, there's quite a queue at the campground office crowded with 20 people inside. Some were waiting in line to get checked in, while others were coming in to ask for firewood and what not.
When it was our turn, the young lady at the counter had trouble with the computer system. Apparently, the program would not allow her to simply move someone from one campsite to another. She had to do a delete, followed by an add.
Once we were underway, we drove to the car-camping ground, set-up the tents under the illumination of the headlights, and was soon in bed. However, sleep did not come easy. Our neighbours were having a party, and a rather loud one at that. And as far as I can tell, the party ended at about 2 am. So much for the lights out rules at these campsites. Not a pleasant experience for me at all. It reminded me of East Coast Park in Singapore. I did not come to Canada or all the way to Algonquin Park to be reminded of the high-density and overcrowded place I evacuated from.
Perhaps the other smaller campgrounds along highway 60 are better than Canisbay, but for now, I am looking forward to the Algonquin interior. BTW, there is cellphone reception here (I'm using Bell Canada), but please turn it off unless you really need it.
