Great park and each campground is very secluded. Bathrooms leave a little to be desired.
Xavier
Nice campground. It was very calm and quiet which was amazing. Bathrooms were pretty decent. Showers could be a bit more kept, but honestly, for a public place, pretty great.
Dawa S
Generally a good campground, but the beach is full of geese and their droppings. Really not a nice place for the kids to play. If they managed the beach a bit better it would be great. Playgrounds could definitely use an update as well.

Voyageur provincial park has been my favorite place to camp for many years. I enjoyed myself even tho the weather was not favorable for camping. The staff is great and friendly. The only draw back was the weather. It rained so much that our lot was full of mud making very difficult to walk or drive out. It would have been nice to have gravel put down or something. My lot was not the only one im sure. This can't be blamed on staff for the rain we got where horrible and never ending. All in all beautiful park to camp with family and friends. Highly recomended.

Nice, large private sites. Bathrooms and showers are really clean. There are 3 large beaches and one “secret” one near the dam. Good fishing and all the staff is really friendly.
