Pancake Bay

Pancake Bay Provincial Park

Car Camping

Pancake Bay’s campground is comprised of five different camping sections: East, East-Central, West-Central, and West, which follow the curve of Lake Superior’s shoreline, and Hilltop, which is set in a forested area on a hill back from the shoreline.

Almost half of the campsites offer electrical service. There are a variety of sites to accommodate a range of trailer sizes, as well as some group camping sites. Some campsites have a view of Lake Superior, other areas of the park, like Hilltop Campground, provide a more shaded, secluded place to camp. Radio-free and generator-free camping is available for sites 1-25 in Hilltop Campground.

Each campsite has a fireplace and picnic table. Drinking water taps, vault toilets, and garbage disposal are located throughout the campgrounds. There are three comfort stations with flush toilets and showers, a trailer sanitation station, and two laundry facilities.
