Cyprus Lake
A forest lake and main campground inside the national park, with a gentle lakeside trail and the starting point for the caves.
Cyprus Lake is the only large campground in Bruce Peninsula National Park that can be reached by car. The water is warm and suitable for canoeing and swimming, and the lakeside trail is about 5 km long, flat and family-friendly. Trails to the caves, Indian Head Cove, Georgian Bay, Marr Lake and others depart from the parking lot on the north side of the lake. The campground offers tent sites, RV sites and pre-erected cabins called 'yurts', which should be booked early on the Parks Canada website in summer. The lakeshore has a sandy beach and picnic area, and light pollution is low at night, making it good for stargazing.
