Horseshoe Lake Camp & Cottages
Overview
Horseshoe Lake Camp & Cottages offers a genuine northern Ontario experience on the shores of the stunning Muskoka region. This family-owned destination provides a peaceful escape from the bustle of city life, focusing on traditional outdoor recreation and lakefront relaxation. It serves as an ideal base for exploring the rugged beauty of the Parry Sound area while maintaining a cozy, intimate atmosphere that larger commercial resorts often lack.
Location & Surroundings
Situated just south of Parry Sound in Seguin, the park is nestled within a lush forest canopy. The property provides direct access to Horseshoe Lake, known for its clear waters and classic granite outcroppings. Visitors find themselves surrounded by the iconic landscapes of the Canadian Shield, where the sound of the loon is a frequent background melody. Its proximity to Highway 400 makes it accessible yet secluded enough for a quiet nature retreat.
Amenities & Park Features
The park features serviced RV sites with water and electricity, designed to accommodate various rig sizes and camping styles. Guests have access to several key recreational facilities during their stay:
- Private sandy beach with a designated swimming area for families.
- Boat rentals including canoes, kayaks, and pedal boats.
- A traditional wood-burning sauna and a dedicated children's playground.
- Clean washroom facilities and on-site laundry for long-term guests.
The grounds also include a boat launch and communal fire pits, perfect for sharing stories after a day on the water.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Just a short drive away, travelers can visit the town of Parry Sound to board the Island Queen for a famous cruise through the 30,000 Islands. Adventure seekers often head to the nearby Seguin Trail for miles of hiking or mountain biking through the wilderness. For a scenic day trip, Killbear Provincial Park offers incredible rock formations and additional hiking opportunities along the shores of Georgian Bay, all within a convenient distance from the campground.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is perfect for family campers and fishing enthusiasts seeking a classic cottage-country vibe. It is best suited for those who appreciate a quiet, communal atmosphere over a high-traffic resort setting. If you enjoy waking up steps away from the water and spending evenings around a crackling campfire, this park will feel like home. It is particularly ideal for mid-sized RVs looking for a scenic and friendly basecamp in northern Ontario.

Wow, word gets around! After reading the reviews and speaking with people who have stayed there, I'd stay far away. The reputation of the owner alone, is frightening. The management sounds awful, and amenities not being maintained. A 4-minute shower?? Lots of people are leaving the site this summer. Perhaps the owners will realize that they have to respect their patrons more, once they see the lost revenue from people not renewing their leases.

Too bad - the property is nice enough but the owners are very rude and unpleasant. We were packing up our stuff and got a crusty call from the office that we were late to check out at 11:19. Not a "you guys know that you were supposed to leave at 11 right?" nope. A "you are late to check out! get out!" AND a $15 "late checkout" fee. Seriously? We left the site cleaner than we found it, and were 95% packed up and ready to go when we got aggressively kicked out. Never going back there. Lovely property but the grumpy and aggressive vibe from the owners ruined the experience.

Complete honest review This campground has so much potential, nice little beach area, great water, nice sites. However if the owner (Steve) doesnt step back and let someone else run it , it will be gone. We tripped our breaker, my wife walked up to the front office at 1030am and inquired, office lady said nothing she can do as she doesn’t know where breakers are located and Steve is still upstairs sleeping. 1.5hr Steve comes tearing into our campsite (still without power) and starts aggressively giving us shit for abusing the power and stripping the breaker. He then takes off which we assumed was to go flip the breaker. 1hr later our site still without power, my wife walks up to the front office to inquire, in which Steve starts yelling at her, again lecturing her about abusing the power, and screaming that he will get to the breaker on his time. My wife politely says that it’s unacceptable, and can’t believe this is how he talks to his customers. Then proceeds to close the office door on her and lock her out telling her to get out. Terrible experience, from a place that we’ve stayed at before.

Absolutely gorgeous place with all the necessary amenities! The camp is very large with lots to explore and enjoy including a sandy beach which is safe for kids. Highly recommend for an unforgettable time!

Had a wonderful camping trip here with my boyfriend over the Canada day long weekend! The campground, beach and site were very well maintained and staff and other campers were super friendly - it was so nice meeting the owners/regulars. The park was very quiet for sleeping as well. Spent a good chunk of time out on the lake in our kayak, which had lots of great spots to drop a line and fish. My only wish was that there was more water pressure in the showers, but we were still able to clean up regardless. Overall, very satisfied with our stay!
