Shirley Lake – Campsite #5

In my opinion this is the nicest campsite on Shirley Lake. You have a sheltered interior to keep your tent and kitchen area out of the wind and rain, but you have two large beaches to enjoy the sun at any time of the day. The north beach is the proper entrance to the site and stretches a couple hundred metres down, while offering great swimming opportunities as well. The west beach is smaller in length but wider, it has a small fire pit, and it also offers great swimming. Both beaches have stunning views of Shirley Lake. This site would be amazing for a family or large group, but even a solo traveller would love it as well.
