Algonquin & Beyond

Shirley Lake – Campsite #4

Even though I typically love island campsites I knew I wasn’t going to stay at this site on Shirley Lake. Mainly because it doesn’t look like it would get a great view of either the sunrise or sunset, and there’s no beach or rocky shoreline to enjoy the sun and stargaze. Other than that, the site is actually pretty good. The fire pit and seating is just epic, and the interior is well sheltered from the outside elements. If you have bad weather, or if you’re going to spend a few hours telling stories around the fire, this is definitely a campsite to consider.
