Birch Point
Overview
Birch Point Provincial Park is a serene retreat located on the shores of Lake of the Woods in southeastern Manitoba. This small, secluded park offers a classic Canadian wilderness experience for RVers looking to escape the bustle of more commercial destinations. Surrounded by lush birch and pine forests, it provides a quiet atmosphere where the primary sounds are the rustle of leaves and the gentle lap of lake water. It is a place where nature takes center stage, offering a peaceful backdrop for your next outdoor adventure.
Location & Surroundings
The park is situated at the tip of a peninsula near Buffalo Point, MB, just north of the Minnesota border. This unique location makes it a prime spot for water access and offers a sense of geographic isolation that is hard to find elsewhere. The surrounding landscape is characterized by the rugged beauty of the region, featuring stately birch trees and rocky shorelines. Because it is tucked away from major highways, the location feels private, providing expansive views across the vast waters of the lake.
Amenities & Park Features
While the park is intentionally rustic, it provides the essential comforts for modern RV travelers. There are electrified campsites available to provide power for your rig, alongside several unserviced sites for those seeking a more traditional experience. On-site facilities include a sturdy boat launch and a large dock system, which are essential for taking advantage of the lake. You will also find well-maintained fire pits, picnic tables, and access to clean drinking water and firewood for your evening gatherings under the stars.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Fishing is the main draw here, as Lake of the Woods is world-renowned for its walleye, muskellunge, and northern pike populations. Boaters can spend days exploring the endless bays and islands that define this massive body of water. For those seeking more structured recreation, the nearby community of Buffalo Point offers an 18-hole championship golf course and local dining options. Birdwatchers and photographers will also enjoy the diverse avian life and stunning lake sunrises that frequent this unique shoreline.
Who This Park Is Best For
Birch Point is ideal for anglers and boaters who prioritize direct access to the water and some of the best fishing in North America. It is a perfect fit for RVers who prefer a quiet, rustic setting over the crowded environment of a high-activity commercial resort. If your travel style involves peaceful evenings by a campfire and early mornings out on the lake, this park provides the tranquility and natural beauty you are looking for in a Manitoba getaway.

It’s rustic…as billed. In fair weather it’s probably ok, but it was really wet and windy so we moved on. There are a few sites right on the water. Most staying here were long term camping and using the boat launch. More protection and amenities just up the road at the Moose Lake campground.
Drew Brown
Basic campground with fire pit, garbage cans and and outhouse. No drinking/running water at this place but there is another camp about 7km away with all that and a little store. Rocky beach, great views. Boat launch and decent fishing. I'd go back.
Johnny Klassen
Very nice looking place with trees for tenting and RV’s, we didn’t need to use any bug spray had some flies around but nothing to worry about, can’t say much about fishing other then you need a Boat not a good place for offshore fishing or swimming!
Elishah Luptak
Really pretty spot, we had a site right on the water. The beach isn’t great for swimming, lots of rocks and muck; I suggest bringing water shoes. It can be pretty windy because it’s right on the water. Bring repellent for black flies! We had a really nice time here, it’s hard to beat being so close to the water (site 8 is good for that).

This Provincial Park has two locations, one being at Moose Lake and the other at Birch Point. Moose Lake features playgrounds, modern toilets and showers, a beach area, boat docking and gorgeous scenery. Birch Point will take in tent trailers, RV's and more, a bit more rugged but people who have camped there always come back every year. People love fishing this great Bay known as Buffalo Bay for it's visible shape and terrific fishing. One has to be careful on this lake as when the south wind blows, the waves could swamp a small fishing boat. If you have a small fishing boat and you are caught up at the Reed River, stay to the shoreline when you are heading back home.
