The best camping near Tidewater Provincial Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure to Tidewater Provincial Park, where the untamed wilderness of Ontario's far north awaits. This park offers a distinctive backcountry experience, set on five islands amid the Moose River estuary near James Bay. Here, you can witness seals and beluga whales in their natural habitat, and explore the rich history of Moosonee and Moose Factory. With its unique wildlife and scenic vistas, Tidewater is a haven for paddlers and nature enthusiasts alike.

When to go

The best time to visit Tidewater Provincial Park is between June 21 and September 2, when the park is officially open. During these summer months, you can fully enjoy the park's natural beauty and wildlife. Outside of these dates, the park is non-operating, and services are unavailable, making it less ideal for visits.

Know before you go

  • Be prepared for a true backcountry experience, as Tidewater Provincial Park is non-operating with no facilities or activities provided.
  • For safety, familiarize yourself with the local tides and currents if planning to paddle in the park's waters.
  • Access to the park is either by paddling down the Moose River or by water taxi from Moosonee or Moose Factory.
  • Interior camping permits are required and can be obtained online or via Moose Cree First Nation Tourism.
  • Respect the natural environment by practicing leave-no-trace camping and using designated campsites only.
