This is the nicest campsite on Nellie Lake in my opinion. It’s large and has tons of open space to lounge. It has a rocky shoreline that gets sun throughout the day and tons of flat ground for tents inland, sheltered from the elements. The fire pit is pretty average but at least it’s there and has some seating surrounding it. But the best part about the campsite is the almost hidden, massive chunk of quartzite on the east side of the peninsula. It offers a perfect sunrise view and sunshine throughout most of the day, it’s great for swimming, and it’s a nice spot to hang out and lose track of time, whether it’s during a sunny afternoon or an evening watching the stars. The best part is that it completely blocks any westerly winds. The main campsite area is already pretty great, but this side of the campsite brings it to perfection.

*In 2022 Killarney introduced new campsite numbers. This campsite is #144 on the old numbering system.

CAMPSITE REMINDERS: 
1) Follow Leave No Trace (LNT); leave the campsite in better condition than you found it!
2) The campsite numbering system (for backcountry canoeing) is not official from Ontario Parks. It is a community-based effort for easy referencing.
3) Reservations for backcountry canoeing are lake-specific, not campsite-specific. You do not reserve a specific campsite. Campsites are first-come-first-serve.
4) Only camp on lakes where you have a valid permit; do not camp off-permit.
5) Physical campsite features can change throughout the season (eg. water levels, leaf fall) and due to human intervention (eg. fire pit, seating).
6) To book a reservation, visit the Ontario Parks website: reservations.ontarioparks.com
