Fitzroy Provincial Park - Pine Grove Campground

Nice beach, a ton of tables, washroom, calm water, volleyball pit, play ground... Allllll you need to have a fantastic day

Beautiful and amazing memories madeOur campsite was #13 and we could literally walk in a beautiful stream…Going to go back again only longer

Nice campground, the first one we went and it had no running water on spot nor electricity. We still enjoyed it very much. The site is clean and it is beautiful. The only downside is the poison ivy in many spots.

I have been going to Fitzroy for 16 years; since I was 14. The first thing I think of today when I come up Fitzroy(currently here) is that it's a great campground for family's. It's a pretty quiet place. With security that is pretty tight; in terms of slowing people down, stopping folks from walking with alcohol/intoxicated & stopping loud noises/ music.While I was in my early 20s this was not a selling point for me and the crew. So it really depends on what your intentions are for camping.If you wanna bring your kids or just have a nice quiet time. This is a great place.You're looking to rage? Then probably best to go camp on crown land. Security will shut it down 9-10pm.As for amenities. Electricity is only in select sites that cost more. There are outhouses always close by and real washrooms are available as well. There's taps for drinkable water and also a small store at the entrance.They offer rentals for canoes, fishing gear & often have little educational events for the children and there's many different small paths that will give you hours to hike, bike, bird watch or just to tire out the little ones.The $/ amenities & quality of campsite is the reason is not 5 stars. It's not extremely expensive but for what I paid, I would expect the site to be better maintained. For example the area you can place tents is not maintained at all. Some other places will clear rocks and rake to create a softer ground. So Ontario Parks cost the same so they should all be the same quality.That being said, I still recommend this place if you're hoping for a nice family friendly camp

I would call it a mid range provincial park. I would go there to camp while visiting my son in Kanata. The main washroom is clean and nice. The showers could use a venting system to rid of the moist heat. The smaller site bathrooms are drop toilets and are a bit smelly. They took out the corner sink and mirrors that were previously in there. The hand sanitizer system hasn't yet had any liquid or foam in it. The beach is along the Ottawa River so water is warmer. There is a hydro plant across from the smaller (not main) beach. Sites are large. If reserving make sure you reserve correctly if you have a trailer

I love this park but since covid it's gone down hill. Park management is holding onto a really nice selection of lots and not making the accessible to the public. It's sad since these lots north of the park are gorgeous.The lot we stayed at was of very poor quality. The ground was eroded a lot and this exposed the nearby tree roots. That made the tent setting task quite tedious and disappointing. After setting up our tent and walking inside to prepare the mattesses i injured my foot, stubbing my toe on a root.The privacy of the site was nice, I guess this is one of the reasons I love Fitzroy so much, but, around 10:30pm til about 11:30pm there were a young couple near by arguing so loud we unfortunately caught the entire drama; this girl wanted her boyfriend to give this guy, Ethan a chance and the boyfriend wasn't interested in doing that; after some time the conversation intensity escalated and the dude was swearing like a sailor about Ethan and how he's not jealous. Having 3 little ones with us who couldn't sleep because these grown adults decided there emotions were more important than everyone else's need for peace and quiet was very stressful. They sounded like they had been drinking heavily and so neither myself or anyone else had the courage to approach them. The park security was nowhere to be found and I couldn't reach them by phone.I don't know why people decide they need to publicise their relationship troubles so vocally but it was annoying these people couldn't wait to work out their issues at home or address them more privately in a car with closed doors or on a walk someplace else. The dude was was out of line addressing his distaste for Ethan at the top of his lungs at such hours of the night.Damn you, Ethan. Look what you did.I love this park but It feels less supervised than pre-covid. I get the Impression they are understaffed or the staff isn't as involved as they used to be.I think of you can survive a night at Fitzroy you should take a crack at back country camping. Sure you have to do your business in the woods but at least it's not as scary as using those horrendously maintained bathrooms and, you're almost gauanteed to not have to subject your children to drunken adults with no emotional intelligence and get some peace and quiet.

Beautiful beach. Great place for families. Clean campground. Lots of deer in the fall. Nice hiking for kids.

Very well maintained Provincial Park only 45 minutes from Ottawa. Nice beach for swimming and barbecue grills for day use people as well. Two nice trails to hike on and see geologic sights and forest. A lot of good sites to pick for camping as well.

Very relaxing not too busy

Awesome, great sites, just a tad muddy from all the rain lately. Each site has electricity plug, make sure to bring a long powercord. Clean water taps around as well as washrooms/showers. The sites are large enough to have 2 cars on it. They sell wood bundles $7 at the gift shop & camping stuff i.e. bread, hot dogs, propane cylinders & other stuff you'd need if you forget something or run out. When it closes at about 9pm the main office still sells wood until late(not sure how late)
