Algonquin & Beyond

Brent Campground (Cedar Lake) is located at the northeast corner of Algonquin Park. There’s a rough 40km gravel road leading into the campground, aptly named Brent Road. The latitude and longitude coordinates of Brent Campground are 46.025664°, -78.486284°.

Brent Campground is one of the smallest campgrounds in Algonquin Park, with only 30 campsites. It doesn’t have any electrical sites, dog-free sites, or radio-free sites. There is no comfort station, laundry services, or showers either. Motor boat access is allowed, but there’s no good beachfront for campers to enjoy. As you can see from the lack of features and amenities, Brent Campground is the least developed campground within Algonquin Park. 

Brent Campground operates from mid May until late October.
