Sunset Shores Resort
Overview
Sunset Shores Resort offers a peaceful retreat on the stunning shores of Lake Superior's Batchawana Bay. Known specifically for its vibrant evening skies and welcoming hospitality, this family-operated destination serves as a premier gateway to Northern Ontario’s rugged wilderness. It provides a perfect blend of traditional rustic camping and modern RV convenience, making it a reliable staple for travelers navigating the scenic Trans-Canada Highway. The park provides a quiet atmosphere where the sounds of the lake take center stage.
Location & Surroundings
Situated directly on the eastern shore of Lake Superior, the resort is defined by its private sandy beach and the unusually warm, shallow waters of the bay. The park is conveniently located approximately 45 minutes north of Sault Ste. Marie, offering a dramatic scenic backdrop of the Canadian Shield. Visitors are surrounded by dense boreal forests and the vast, peaceful horizon of the world's largest freshwater lake, providing a sense of seclusion despite its proximity to the highway.
Amenities & Park Features
The park is thoughtfully equipped for various types of rigs, offering spacious full-service sites featuring 30-amp electricity, water, and sewer hookups. Practical features for long-term travelers include a laundry facility and centrally located washrooms with hot showers. For recreation, the resort provides a dedicated boat launch and a children's playground, while every individual site includes a fire pit and picnic table for classic campfires under the Northern Ontario stars.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Nature enthusiasts are within a very short drive of Pancake Bay Provincial Park, which is home to a renowned beach often called the Caribbean of the North. Hiking enthusiasts can explore the rugged trails at Batchawana Bay Provincial Park or take a short trek to see the rushing waters of Chippewa Falls. The region is also a premier destination for sea kayaking, bird watching, and world-class fishing for trout or salmon in the cold, clear waters of the bay.
Who This Park Is Best For
This resort is an ideal choice for Lake Superior Circle Tour travelers who are seeking a scenic multi-day stopover during their journey around the Great Lakes. It specifically appeals to families who enjoy safe, shallow swimming areas and couples looking for a quiet, nature-focused escape. Because it comfortably accommodates large motorhomes, it is a highly recommended choice for RVers who value easy highway access combined with a tranquil, authentic waterfront experience.

The staff at these resorts are incredibly kind and appreciative, always treating their customers with the utmost politeness and respect, especially Sri Sai Chowdary! The lake view was absolutely fantastic, and the sandy beaches near the shore were beautiful to watch, even playful!

This place is 99% seasonal sites and only had three sites available for travelers. The roads are in bad condition very old campground. Good thing we only stayed here one night.! The water was close to the road so we had to have a long hose. The electrical was on the opposite side way towards the front of our RV so we had to have a long electrical cord for that. Really strange.

It's a campground not a hotel. We're seasonal and we love it. I've heard the cabins are nice but expensive

My husband and I booked this campground because we wanted to see the sandbanks. The address on the website is incorrect. Near Sandbanks there is another campground that has a very similar name but is not the same. When we arrived at the other campsite, the employee told us that many people had paid thinking they would camp near sandbanks, but in reality they were paying for a camping elsewhere... Like us. We asked for a refund and it was denied. It's a scam.

This is my 3rd summer camping at Sunset Shores. The location for me is perfect. It is 45 minutes from my front door but I feel as though I am on vacation everytime I am there. The park itself is very nice and the sites are well kept. The amenities are up to date and kept very clean ! The owners are very friendly and are always available to do everything they can to make their guests stay an enjoyable experience. Fellow campers are the friendliest I have ever encountered. I go to get a quiet retreat away from work which I am able to do. Although there are many activities available for all ages. From fishing to boating, kayaking, water sports, swimming or relaxing at the beach area while children enjoy the water raft with slide. As well the owners and dedicated park committee are always offering amazing events for all ages. If I choose to venture out it's location is close to many trails and activities with beautiful places to visit along Lake Superior. So no matter what you are searching to do I recommend giving Sunset Shores a try it really is a little piece of paradise along Hwy 17 :)
