S04E15 Bonnechere Provincial Park Review

Published 2022-11-05
This is our 3rd video in our two week, four park trip to eastern Ontario. In this video we visit Bonnechere Provincial Park near the southeast tip of Algonquin Park. This park really impressed us and we are sure to return in the future.

We had good friends and great weather on this camping trip. We hiked the McNaughton Trail, biked through the park and paddled on Round Lake and the Bonnechere River. We also went to the town of Killaloe which is famous for being the birthplace of Canda's Pastry; Beavertails. We tasted some amazing beavertails while there.

Our last stop on this 4 park tour will be Lake St. Peter Provincial Park in two weeks. Stay tuned....

  • Nothing beats a Saturday morning then watching an episode of camping with the Coles :) 🍩🍩☺️

    I gotta say My wife and I are planning a trip to BC and Yukon. But after watching all the Ontario parks videos you produce we want to hang out in Ontario more. Lov the information you provide.. And who can't like the Loo reviews!
  • these videos are so helpful in deciding where im gonna go camping this summer
  • Beavertails come too our city at different times, setting up at malls and shopping centers, guuuuud stuff!!
  • @gearjammer81
    Cool fact about Bonnechere....The Davenport Centre is named after Mr and Mrs Davenport who used to be the park hostesses who stayed at the campground all summer long on site #88, hence the 2 green rings on that site post. Mr Davenport also designed the fire pit that is now in all Ontario provincial parks!
  • Cool underwater music edit!! Great video and review, my family and I must check out this park.
  • Thanks for the review. Beautiful part of Ontario. Bonnechere caves are a must as well as a visit to the village of Wilno and Polish meal at the tavern.
  • @ervinslens
    Absolutely stunning work folks, cinematography here is simply beautiful! Gorgeous shots and composition! 🔥🔥
  • @allwalk2
    This is definitely one of our all-time favourite parks. When the kids were young you could let them go on their bikes and not worry due to the smaller size of the park. If you are lucky enough to get a riverside campsite the experience is ten-fold. Just outside the park, take Turners Camp road into back door entrance into Algonquin and Basin Lake Depot where there are more hikes and history. I agree on the rating of 2! Shhhhhh!
  • @gracespace1
    Thank you for another great review. This park is now on my bucket list! Looking forward to watching the rest of your adventures.
  • That was amazing. Can’t imagine what that was like to paddle in such history😘
  • Great video. The trails close to Algonquin are spectacular. Great views and a wonderful waterfall.
  • Always excited to see a new post! Great review, as always! Thanks to your reviews, my husband and I decided we must leave our motor boat behind and hit some parks with our canoe, to experience more beautiful parks! Thanks again!
  • @oneseekingzen
    Great vid your rating is spot on. One of my favourite parks!
  • Another great video about a beautiful park and a fun adventure with friends.
  • @dianerizi9119
    Because of your review, we decided to go to this park and we really enjoyed it. We were at the Riverloop #66. Nice and big campsite close to the beach and the canoes. We walked, took our bikes, canoed and went to the beach. It was worth the distance from Montreal, Quebec.Thank you for sharing,
  • I've been looking forward to this episode. I've been wanting to go to Bonnechere for some time, and it was great to see you review it. Excellent episode as always!
  • @munroross7435
    Yup, definitely a 2, maybe a 1.5. That's why we go back AT LEAST once a year... Other suggestions for day trips - Barry's Bay is fun to poke around, Grumblin' Grannies for all kinds of knick knacks (check out the discount GG's Annex just south of town for great deals), and a well-stocked Metro for groceries. Also Charlie D's for poutine (16 varieties!) at the edge of town. For beer lovers, Killaloe LCBO claims the coldest beer fridge in Ontario - I concur! Try it on a hot August day. Round Lake Station Food Market in Round Lake Station smokes their own bacon (buy a few pounds) has basic groceries and is a well-stocked LCBO outlet.
