Travelers navigating Highway 11 will find this location tucked into the northern reaches of the Parry Sound District. The landscape features dense boreal mixed forests, countless freshwater lakes, and rolling Precambrian shield terrain. Summers bring long, warm daylight hours ideal for outdoor living, while autumn transforms the tree canopy into brilliant shades of red and orange. Mornings typically carry a crisp northern chill, giving way to comfortable afternoons under wide-open skies.
Amenities & Park Features

We stayed for three days in our RV. The site had all services, very well maintained, and easy to get into. We were just across from the main office across the road to the lake. Washrooms and showers were spotless, sandy beach for bathers and our Labrador Retrievers enjoyed the dog beach. Municipal beach with in walking distance if needed. The owners were present and so friendly and helpful during our stay. This is a hidden gem that we are already planning to return to later this year.

My husband and I just spent three nights in Little Doe Cabin at Doe Lake Campground Rizzort. The cabin was a charming, fully equipped, accommodation with a beautiful view of the lake. It also had an amazing sandy beach area wonderful for swimming and an additional pet friendly beach for your furry friends. We enjoyed a fun game of pickle ball on their new Pickleball court. This campground offers many amenities. As well as, a beautiful marina with boat slips and rentals. There are brand new laundry and shower facilities for guests as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent there. The hosts/owners, Anthony and Nancy are very personable and are always looking for ways to enhance your stay with a variety of park activities planned. We definitely will go back.

I have been in this park 26 years, made life long friendships and enjoy my time here immensely. I like that laundry is available on-site for long term stays and convenience. There is something here for everyone. Health and safety is a being a priority with defibrillators around the park for quicker response. It is in a great location for convenience of shopping. Easy access to hiking trails and the water. Come enjoy your time here!

Doe Lake Rizzort is a true gem! It is an amazingly well run establishment that offers many amenities for all ages. Campers can enjoy swimming at the beach, fishing from the docks or access to boating on Doe Lake. The perfectly groomed walking trails offer the opportunity to hike in a most peaceful atmosphere. There are also organized activities planned throughout the season…the Halloween festivities happen to be our favourite! Many kilometres of outstanding trails for recreational vehicles can be accessed from the campground as well. What stands out most for us, is the friendliness of the owners and the many wonderful campers who make Doe Lake Rizzort such a wonderful place to be!

My husband and I love bringing our family to Doe Lake Campground Rizzort! The lake is great for swimming, fishing and boating. The campground amenities and facilities are beautiful and clean. There is a beautiful patio/pavilion down on the waterfront by the marina. The owners are very friendly and welcoming to all. There is a social committee that strives to put on a variety of events all season. Our favourite is the Halloween/trick or treating event; It’s fun for all ages, and campers really get into the spirit. I highly recommend camping here in the summer or fall. The campground is very forested, so the fall colours really look spectacular in the park and around the lake.
