Porpoise Bay Provincial Park

Reviewed By HelenP1963 - Cochrane, Canada

We enjoyed this campground so much we stayed 2 extra nights. Sites are very much in the trees so we did not use our solar panels much! Sites nicely spaced out. Washroom and showers super clean. Notice some reviews state they are upset that there are no individual firepits but that did not bother us at all. Good value for money and plenty to do in the area.
