Water Fun - We Got it All!
Fishing Experience
Baskatong reservoir is a prime destination for anglers, especially walleye enthusiasts. From mid-May onwards, the cold spring waters are conducive to good catches, while low-season tranquility leaves more room for boats and pontoons. In autumn, calm waters, colourful landscapes and the migratory birds create a soothing backdrop, often conducive to memorable fishing. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, each season offers a unique atmosphere to live your fishing passion at its fullest. You can fish for pike, walleye, landlocked salmon, yellow perch or lake trout. The lucky ones may even spot whitefish and lake sturgeon. We recommend that you study the maps of the Baskatong reservoir and its depths for optimal, legal fishing.
Watercraft Rentals
Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy a wide selection of watercraft to explore the navigable 300 km² of the Baskatong Reservoir. Whether you're looking for a family outing, kayaking or simply relaxing by the water, you'll find the perfect activity among our motorboats, comfortable pontoons, canoes, single or double kayaks and SUP boards. In summer, long days mean extended rentals: up to 10 hours for pontoons and up to 23 hours for rowboats. It's also possible to rent a dock or use our launch ramp if you bring your own boat - with privileged access to one of the best areas of the Baskatong. However, as water levels vary from May to October, it's advisable to use a nautical chart and ask for advice before setting out on your adventure.
Everything for Families
At Camping Union Baskatong, activities are plentiful! The long sandy beach is an endless playground during summer. Gather your friends for a friendly beach volleyball game while the kids burn off some energy on the inflatable play structure or in the nearby playground. Horseshoes and petanque courts are also at your disposal for an active yet relaxing afternoon.
Hiking enthusiasts, whatever their ability, will find much to enjoy here. Signposted trails near the campground allow you to explore the local flora and fauna. In addition, five other trails within a 20 km distance offer the opportunity to admire the diversity and beauty of the surrounding landscape.
More the speed type? No problem! The nearby federated mountain bike trail will satisfy your desire to get away from it all. Alternatively, bring your bike - the quiet streets nearby are so much fun to ride.
