Harassment and ticket at Murphy's Point Provincial Park Perth Ontario
My wife and I went camping at Murphy's Point Provincial Park located in Perth, Ontario, Canada. We were sitting talking quietly having a fire the night before, we were woken up at 10:00 am in the morning by these park officers pounding on our tent telling us we were evicted and getting a $100+ dollar ticket for causing a disturbance. Meanwhile we did nothing wrong, were not asked our side of the story, or even what the people beside us had claimed we did. We saw them go to the people beside us, who were in their 60's or 70's drinking beer at 10am in the morning, and had told these pathetic excuses for park officers who knows what, and they damaged my tent, harassed me and my wife, evicted us, and ticketed us for doing absolutely nothing, and simply basing all of this on whatever these alcoholics beside us said to them, which we were not told what it was. We were never asked what our side of the story, or anything. How these people have authority like this is beyond belief, clearly they could not make the police force so got this job and get a personal thrill out of ticketing people and bothering them any chance they get. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND nobody go to this park, because apparently having a campfire and talking is reason to be fined, harassed, and ticketed, as well as them damaging my tent when they shook on it. There names were C. Thompson & C. Ogilvie. Please share this, and call the park and complain about these people as god knows who else they have treated like this. I also asked them to turn around because my wife wanted to change from her pajamas as we were woken up and the tent roof wrecked because they shook on it, and they continued to stare and not turn around as they are also perverts, so my wife could not get changed. We were never told what was said about us, or our side of the story, that is not how someone with authority should conduct themselves, clearly why they could not make the police and settled for this job instead. Phone number of park is 613-267-5060. Please assist us, and anybody else who was harassed by these disturbed individuals in contacting the office and complaining about them and their conduct. Thank You for your time, and appreciate your help.

Fall Scenes at Murphy's Point Provincial Park (Perth, ON - October 2015)
The ground was carpeted with fallen leaves, while yellow and orange leaves covered most of the forest at Murphy's Point. This provincial park is located a short distance south of the town of Perth, Ontario. Shades of red and orange could be seen along the shores of Big Rideau Lake. Gusts of wind allowed for more leaves to fall in the forest, resulting in nature putting on a beautiful autumn show along the trail system.
This video was shot in mid-October, 2015.
Camping / RVing 2019: Eastern & Central Ontario (Bon Echo, Murphy's Pt, Driftwood, Algonquin & more)
Late June 2019, found Ranger and crew headed to Eastern and Central Ontario in our 17 Ram Copper Head and Flagstaff 26RBWS, visiting provincial parks from distant childhood memories – they didn’t disappoint.
Our drive east on Hwy 7, past the small Central Ontario communities of Havelock, Marmora, Madoc and Kaladar, brought us to Sharbot Lake Provincial Park. The park is surrounded by Hwy 7 to the north – and an important note here, some of the sites are right next to the road so choose your site carefully if the sound of traffic bothers you – and Black and Sharbot Lakes to the south. Sharbot Lake is a small park. Hiking the park was enjoyable and the call of the loons in the evening was enchanting, but this is not what we’d call a ‘destination campground’- rather, a perfect weekend spot or stop for travelling RVers.
Backtracking on Hwy 7 a short distance, we picked up Hwy 41 and headed north through the towns of Northbrook and Cloyne to Bon Echo Provincial Park. Bon Echo is a large park with lots to see and explore including the 100 metre high Mazinaw Rock featuring over 260 Indigenous pictographs, hiking trails from 1 to 17 km in length and canoe and kayak rentals. Unfortunately the Interpretive Boat Tours on Mazinaw Lake weren’t operating when we there because of damage done to the docks by the spring’s unusually high water level. The park also has an interesting visitor centre but it has limited hours (in June) and wasn’t open during our stay. Bon Echo also has a great pet beach Ranger loved. And for you RVers, the park has the best trailer dump facilities we have ever encountered – two lanes, long to prevent traffic from clogging park roads, they were even tilted slightly to help tanks drain – every other provincial park should take note – this is how it’s done.
Heading further east and south brought us to Murphy’s Point Provincial Park. Located on Big Rideau Lake, the park’s sites are well shaded…and somewhat hilly in areas. The beach was quite small (and crowded) but the tour of the Silver Queen Mine, an early 1900s mica mine, and other regular interpretive programs (offered from end of June to Labour Day) were very interesting. The town of Perth, considered by some Ontario’s prettiest town, is only a 15 minute drive from the park and offers shopping, dining – even theatre.
We next headed 250 kms north, on Hwy 17 kms, past Arnprior, Renfrew, Pembroke, Petawawa and Deep River (a great spot to reprovision btw), to Driftwood Provincial Park, right on the Ottawa River and Quebec border. Driftwood is a small and remote park but many of the sites are right on the beach with panoramic views of the Upper Ottawa River and Quebec’s Laurentian Mountains. A quick note about the beach – Driftwood comes by its name honestly - the beach is covered with driftwood. It’s picturesque but can present hazards – sandals or water shoes are a must. While the waterfront sites have limited privacy, no hydro (electricity) and some have limited swing room when backing in a trailer, they do have stunning sunsets.
From Driftwood we headed south and west into Central Ontario to Algonquin Provincial Park. The park is huge (772300ha) with Hwy 60 transiting 56kms of the southern section of the park where you’ll find 8 different campgrounds including Pog Lake, where we camped. Algonquin is amazing: rugged hills and forests, 1000’s of lakes, incredible wildlife and great attractions – the Visitor Centre and Logging Museums are absolute must see’s. The park is a photographer’s dream with hiking galore. There’s even a couple of lodges that offer dining inside the park.
Having said all that, we did find the campground had an unusual vibe – not nearly as friendly as most other provincial parks (at least while we were there) we’ve visited. And considering the vast number of campers Algonquin attracts, we were surprised by the limited trailer sanitation facilities – only one dump station, and nothing like Bon Echo’s – fortunately for us it was very quiet there mid-week when we departed.
Killbear Provincial Park never disappoints – many campsites are large and private. The beaches are sandy, the trails gentle and picturesque and the wildlife is plentiful – neighbours had a young black bear up a tree on their site for over an hour.
There’s a great fish restaurant, Gilly’s, just 10 minutes outside the park in Snug Harbour, serving fresh caught Georgian Bay perch and pickerel and Parry Sound has plentiful shopping – and fantastic pizza to take back to camp from Maurizio’s.
This was a peaceful trip filled with great memories. Other than Killbear, we hadn’t been to these parks in 25 years or more….and we realized we won’t wait near that long to return. For us, Algonquin and Bon Echo were highlights (for quite different reasons mind you) and it continued to remind us that it's true what our licence plates say: Ontario IS…Yours to Discover.

Jason Brownlee, Perth, Ontario, Canada
Jason Brownlee of Perth , Ontario, Canada shares his experience with his HeatMasterss outdoor wood furnace. Jason likes the fact there everything is outside so there is less mess and less work handling the wood. He also appreciates the fact that his neighbors aren't being bothered by smoke like you get from a traditional wood furnace. Jason cuts and splits his wood so it is small enough for his wife Brianna to easily fill the G Series boiler while he is away. The furnace is easy and clean to operate due to smokeless loading with the smoke bypass handle. Regardless of electricity costs, his heating bill is next to nothing and he has energy independence.

Some Late Spring Scenes at Murphy's Point Provincial Park (Perth, ON - May 2015)
This video was shot on a late afternoon visit to Murphy's Point Provincial Park, south of Perth, ON. It was primarily shot on the Sylvan Trail, a path which crosses both high, forested ridges and wet depressions. This landscape is typical of the Frontenac Axis of the Canadian Shield, which covers much of the Rideau Lakes area. There is one spot on the trail in particular where a good view of Big Rideau Lake was available.
This video was shot in late May, 2015.
