The sites are spaced out great, ample room between most sites which is nice for privacy. The boat launch was perfect for setting off on your paddle board or kayak with access to Big Rideau Lake, Hoggs Bay, and also Nobles Bay. Nice hiking trails, the washrooms would benefit from more frequent cleaning as other campers don’t seem to respect the communal use but that’s an issue at most car camping sites. Overall would recommend camping here.

We took a Prolite Profil into Fallows campground, I'd recommend a 4x4 since there's one really steep hill that my Caravan almost didn't crest. Good thing the soil was dry 😬. Bring lots of deet bug repellent and check for ticks. On a clear night, you can faintly see the milky way; in early July, you'll need to stay up until after midnight to see it (look east). We also saw a deer just a couple of meters from our spot at night. Lots of other wildlife to observe! Also, the water at the beach glimmers because of the mica. Quite a sight to behold!

We have frequented many of Ontario’s Provincial Parks over the years, as do many of our friends and family, but no one had any experience with Murphy’s Point Provincial Park so we arrived not knowing what to expect. The park is gorgeous to hike and bike around. There are countless places to paddle, and every campground had nice forest coverage. We ended up meeting the Warden after a minor after-hours arrival issue (resolved) and he was so helpful and interesting to talk to; a tremendous representative of the park. We would definitely go again. One pro-tip though: Many of the sites were small, had significant slope, boulders, and/or roots, which would make pitching a tent or tents difficult. When searching for reservations, list your equipment (1 tent, 2 tents, RV, etc) as being bigger than what you actually intend to bring so that you end up with a campsite that will better meet your needs.

Get back to nature park You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. Best park store I have ever been in has everything you need even fishing rods. Very clean park that gets you back to nature. Had a no hydro site 129 that back on to a pond it was very wide and private. The beach is back to nature not man made with sand all over. You think you are in the middle of nowhere Can’t wait to go back. Best fishing I have ever had. All fish went back in. My shoe is a size 12.5

Murphy's Point Provincial Park is a lovely park in Eastern Ontario, only a short drive from Perth or Kingston. The trails are lovely, with easy walking with some designated safe for biking. Three main attractions are within the park; The Silver Queen Mine, the McParlan House, and the Lally Homestead. All have easy access trails with no additional entrance fees. The Silver Queen Mine is a mica and apatite mine. The entrance is gated. Guided tours are held during the peak summer months. The Lally Homestead and McParlan House are self-guided. Canoeing and kayaking is excellent. The main route starts at the main beach or boat launch and takes paddlers through Hoggs Bay, Big Rideau Lake, Noble Bay, Loon Lake and back to the starting point. There are two portages with easy walking. Swimming is excellent too at the main beach or even the hike-in beach. The Park Store is well equipped with essentials. The comfort stations are clean and have showers with ample hot water. There are coin-op washing machines on-site. Staff are super-friendly and welcoming. If you are a birder, you are in luck. In the campground you will see several Red-Bellied Woodpeckers, a variety of warblers and Scarlet Tanagers, even the Towhee can be found here. One can easily find the Grey Rat Snake too. We had an excellent 4 day vacation here!

The park is beautiful but driving through Toronto is awful. It almost discourages us from going to the park. Something has to be done about the traffic through Toronto.

The first time to hear loons here. We see deer walking in trees every morning of three days. Very quiet place!

Good to know: If you want to rent a canoe or kayak, they will not rent any past 11. It would have been nice if it was mentioned somewhere online

Amazing staff at front checkout. The women there are amazingly great at their jobs. The new girl training today took the time to ask a fellow staff to make sure she did everything she could.
