Algonquin Park two rivers campground is under I'll equipped for real camping. The nearest place to get bags of firewood is at mew lake a few kilometers away and the entire area is picked clean of anything useable. The fire pits themselves are excessively large and block most of the heat from small economic fires with a grill set so high that you have to stand your logs against the back wall to cook anything

Campgrounds are serene. No mosquitos was a plus. I shall visit Algonquin but maybe some other campground due to a couple of issues. Pros: - Beautiful lakeside with canoe rentals (private yet affordable $35 for 24 hours) - Lakeside allowed us a perfect night sky and mesmerizing sunrise in the morning - Serene campground Cons - Dusty roads make sure that you taste the flying dust everytime a car drives by - Beach was littered with poop even though it barred pets. Not sure whom to blame - people or authorities that were nowhere to be seen - Showers were closed the entire weekend. Perhaps they wanted us to take bath in the lake only - Toilets were unkept majority of time. Were closed Saturday evening. Caused a panic for families with kids. Basic necessity. Staff showed no urgency to fix anything, and guests were left to figure it out themselves. We had to drive 5 km to another campground just to use the bathroom. We definitely packed and left earlier than planned to get some relief.

The campgrounds use to be exceptional. We camped this weekend and found the maintenance of roads and comfort stations deplorable. The rule change of no early checking even if the site is available causes checking lineups at 2 pm. I understand contracting out the services however the ministry oversight to ensure compliance with service requirements is obviously lacking. Any out of province or country visitors will leave with a unfavorable view of the campgrounds.

One of the worst campground we have been in the past 4 years. Very busy, under staffed. 2 out of the 3 night we stayed, the comfort station was closed due to pumping issue. Due to that reason. no a single flushing toilet available in the campground, no shower available neither. Felt very sorry for the teenager who worked at the cafe, many people lined up for ice-cream but the cafe had no air-conditioning ( maybe broken?), hard to breathe while waiting in there, not to mention working there the whole day. Very crowded campsites, you can hear all sort of noise. No quiet time reinforcement. People were noisy past midnight. Many sites had more than 6 people camping. It was a nice park but not a nice campground at all.

The park is wonderful but this campground is one of the worst I have ever been to. The sites have no visual barriers between them so there is zero privacy. It is like camping in a big parking lot. People were constantly wondering though our site. The roads were really dusty so there was dust on everything. The worst part was the washrooms. There are around 300 sites and only 2 washrooms. The first night there were lines for the toilets and longer lines for the showers. The floors were a sea of mud. They clearly don't have enough facilities for a campground this size. Things got worse our second 2 nights when the washrooms were closed for pump house issues. So no showers and the only options were pit toilets which also needed a lot of attention.
