Overnight at Oastler Lake Provincial Park | Hidden Downsides & Camping Highlights in Ontario

Join me as I road-trip north to Parry Sound, Ontario, and spend a night at Oastler Lake Provincial Park. From checking out the rocky shoreline of Georgian Bay to setting up camp with a lakeside view, I share the real camping experience—both the highlights and the challenges. In this video, you’ll see what makes Oastler Lake worth a stop: accessible campsites, scenic views, and a great location near Parry Sound. But I’ll also reveal the downsides that many campers overlook, like train noise through the night, close campsite spacing, and late-night raccoon raids. Whether you’re planning a camping trip in Ontario’s provincial parks, scouting new spots around Georgian Bay, or just enjoy outdoor cooking (steak, potatoes, and garlic butter included), this video gives you an honest look at what to expect. Stick around to the end as I pack up early and head off toward Algonquin Park for the next adventure. 🌲 Love backcountry stories?
