Quiet kayak paddle turned into a nightmare: I love Georgian Bay Islands National Park. I think it is one of the most beautiful parks in Ontario. The staff there is friendly and helpful. Unfortun… Full review by Ola K

This was the worst camping experience I’ve ever had. Do not go camping here. I cannot believe this is a National Park. We camped at Tonch North for a 3 day long weekend. We canoed across and boats di… Full review by Seaside19658356218

Great stay at the park. Stayed in Otentik 3 which had a nice strip of beach in front. Water is very shallow. Note no power in the otentiks. Lots of trails to hike and bikes available for rental. … Full review by deeman528
Hi there, We will be camping in Beausoleil Island for 3 days/2 nights. I phoned Parks Canada and I was informed that DayTripper boat service is for day-use vistors only. Where and how do we get on a boat to take us to the island? How much is the usual cost per person? Thank you!
A:
Getting ready to do this, 2 of us: $180 round trip, parking $11 per day.
I have booked an oTENTik for two nights in August. I have few questions. Could someone please help me out here? 1. I understand I will have to check in at Honey Harbour and park my car. How do I get to the Island? Should I book the day tripper or is it already included in oTENTik reservation? 2. I believe you have a food locker in the island. Could you please tell me how big it is? Will my "Coleman Hard Cooler, 8.5 L" fit in the locker? 3. Do you have a fire-pit grill in the campsite (oTENTik O4)? And if so, are we allowed to cook? 4. Are we allowed to carry alcohol? Thanks in advance.
A:
We just returned from an oTentik. Your cooler will fit in the bear bin no problem. There is a 2 burner propane stove at your site as well as a fire pit. The trip to the island on the Parks …
We just returned from an oTentik. Your cooler will fit in the bear bin no problem. There is a 2 burner propane stove at your site as well as a fire pit. The trip to the island on the Parks Canada Day Tripper is included in the cost. Make sure you pack lots of bug spray if you plan to go on the trails.
If I have to take the taxi boat service to get to beausoleil island, do you know if there's a car parking near honey harbour?
A:
There is limited parking at the parks office where you check in to take the boat, I think they are now charging for this parking. I think you might find parking elsewhere as well.

Frequently asked questions
Q:
How do you get to the park? Don't have a boat?
A:
Access is by boat only. Privately owned water taxis operate out of Honey Harbour. Canoeing and kayaking are recommended for experienced paddlers only since there is high boat traffic...
