Driftwood Provincial Park

Driftwood august 2018. Probably the best sleep I’ve had in years, with the sandy beach and the waves. Not much privacy for as far as provincial parks go, but beautiful nonetheless. Only an hour and some away from Algonquin so I got some hiking done there as well, definitely worth checking out Barron canyon if you don’t mind travelling a bit!

I am in love eith this place. It's so beautiful that I didn’t want to come back to Toronto. Next year will definitely go for at least 3 days. Washrooms are mostly vault toitel with flash! Amazing thing is it also has a comfort station which is pretty good and clean flashable washroom and shower station.

This is a wonderfully quiet and peaceful park. Also the only park I have been to where I can say it is quieter in the electrical sites than the non-hydro (which are more along the water).Very well manicured park and clean, I have never seen a garbage and recycling area so tidy, they were trimming around our site when we arrivedThere are a lot of extra water Taps not showing on the map along the pull throughs area making it very easy to add water if you need.There are lots of hiking trails and the main beach is really nice. Most of the non-electric sites are right on the water with many having their own private beach.

Small but nice. Check the camp site as some of them can be really small with no privacy from the road. But many sites are right on the water or have direct access to the beach. This is the non-electric only. The electric sites are in a different section up on a bit of a ridge. More privacy but no direct access to the beach.It is on the Ottawa River in a bay, so most days the water is smooth as glass. There are a few kayaks, canoes and paddle boards for rent on a first come, first serve, but the price is reasonable.Long hiking trails too, though the map is outdated.Limited biking opportunity do to a massively steep hill right in the middle of the park.

My new favourite provincial park. Small, quiet, great waterfront sites. Swimming was not awesome (so much pollen!) but very safe for the kiddos. Great kayaking, canoeing and day hiking. Not a place if you want to party or beach, but amazing for a natural getaway.Park staff were very visible and helpful.Unfortunately, there was a boil water advisory when we were there - not sure how common that is, but we got a notification ahead of time and were able to pack extra.Bonus: toilets are flush, not outhouse :)

Love this park, small and cozy! Sites right off the water! I'll definitely be back!

A nice park with a lot of waterfront sites. Some sites are not very private as there are a lack of bushes and trees between them in some areas. We were on site 32 of East camp. Hard to walk into the water here because of all the driftwood on shore. If looking at the water, the left side is not private but the right side is. The best waterfront sites in East camp are 7, 8, 9, 13, and 14 (in my humble opinion). They have a beach and are pretty level. We had a blue-green algae warning and saw the shoreline along the park had a lot of it our first day. The next 2 days it was gone. There is a lot of extra parking near most of the sites so if you have a boat there is plenty of room to park your boat trailer. You can even anchor in front of your site which was pretty neat. The comfort station is clean and has showers and laundry. The secondary toilet huts are flush toilets which is nice. No lights inside though so bring a flashlight.

Nice and quite. Washroom were clean (flushing ones but no light). Showers between 2 campgrounds. Water taps closeby. Conoe/kayak on site rental. Felt like this park would be best for families with small kids as some campsites are facing beach.Some sites are small and no privacy but can be managed.

Great park, especially if you can get a waterfront site and there are lots to choose from! Spent the first few days at electric site then moved to a waterfront site. Deep River is about a 20 minutes drive and has everything you'll need ie grocery store, gas, coffee etc...

We booked a campsite here because we couldn't get a spot at our first choice but we couldn't have been more happy for this coincidence. Extremely beautiful.Even though it's by a river, because it's a bay, the water is warm. The views of the hilly Quebec side are fantastic. Spacious sites.The only thing that I would like improved is beach access for sites that are not right at the front. There is no public access route, so unless you get someone on the front row to be okay with you passing in and out of their spot, you're out of luck.
