Kettle Lakes

About Kettle Lakes

Kettle Lakes is named for its glacial kettle lakes and sits in jack pine and boreal forest country near Timmins. Shortlist it when you want small-lake camping and a distinct northern landscape, especially if the setting itself matters as much as the available date. Kettle Lakes sits in northeastern Ontario and is managed through Ontario Parks. With 146 indexed sites, it has a manageable but meaningful camping inventory, so date flexibility can matter a lot during peak weekends and school-holiday windows. The best trip fit is usually decided by the landscape first: water, trails, beaches, cliffs, quiet forest, or simple proximity to the region you already want to explore. Because it is part of the Ontario Parks system, the final booking rules, fees, alerts, and permit details still belong on the official Ontario Parks side. For planning, scan the setting and current availability here first, then confirm final details with the operator once the park feels like the right match.
