A Unique Outpost Experience…
Camp Lochalsh, opened in the early 1950s, remains a classic lodge in the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve.
At present, Camp Lochalsh is operated as an outpost, with no daily dock service or housekeeping service. Guests who book under the American Plan or Modified Plan must travel by boat to Loch Island Lodge for meals. The dining room building is open for guests to socialize in, but the kitchen is not operating for meal service.
The Trapper’s Lounge is the perfect place to gather after a long day of fishing or hunting. The wood stove provides welcome heat on cool nights. Many card championships have been won and lost at the card table, and many stories told beneath the collection of guests’ hats. Challenge each other to a ping-pong game. Guests from the Otter Island and Sandy Bay outposts can stop by at any time to access the Starlink internet connection and electricity. Sit by the camp fire at night to watch the northern lights.
Camp Lochalsh is open until the end of October for fishing, small game hunting, and moose hunting. After mid-September, the logging road network can be travelled with your own vehicle or ATV for rabbits, ruffed grouse, and partridge.
For a unique Canadian travel experience, board the Budd Car train in either White River or Sudbury, Ontario and enjoy the scenic ride to the Lochalsh flag stop. Float plane flights are also available for Camp Lochalsh guests. The logging roads leading in from Dubreuilville take approximately 45 minutes to drive in to camp. We do not charge for parking.
All cabins include linens and towels. Water is treated for drinking and all cabins have hot and cold running water. All cabins have Starlink Internet connection. Parking is available close to the cabins.
While visiting us, ask about our hiking, mushroom hunting, wildlife tours, and abandoned gold mine adventures. There is so much to explore at Camp Lochalsh!
Cabin #1 (The George Pierrot Cabin)
This cabin is named after its most famous yearly inhabitant, George Pierrot, who regularly visited Camp Lochalsh in the 1960s with his “World Adventure Series” television show.
Cabin 1 is horizontal log construction — the only one of its type remaining at Camp Lochalsh. It has two bedrooms, a 3-piece bath and a glassed-in porch with a fantastic view of the lake. It sleeps 4 people on boxspring twin beds. As it does not have a kitchen, we use this cabin for American Plan guests who will be travelling to Loch Island Lodge for meals, or add it to a larger Housekeeping Plan group’s reservation for a sleeping cabin. It has a three piece bathroom (sink, toilet, shower stall), sitting area in the porch, mini fridge, and electric heater.
The cabin is close to the docks, ideal for those with walking difficulties.
Cabins #2 & #3
These cabins have full kitchens with stainless steel appliances. Cabin #2 has two bedrooms, each with a king bed and twin bed, making it ideal for couples or families. Cabin #3 also has two bedrooms, each with a double bed and twin bed. Both cabins have full bathrooms with a sink, toilet, and bathtub. Electric heaters keep the cabins cozy in the spring and fall.
These cabins are lakefront, next to the Trapper’s Lounge. The deck on the shore across from the cabins is a great place for spotting the northern lights. A wooden boardwalk provides easy walking to the Trapper’s Lounge and the docks.
Cabin 6
This cabin has 3 bedrooms with 4 twin beds (sleeps 4 total). As it does not have a kitchen, we use this cabin for American Plan guests who will be travelling to Loch Island Lodge for meals, or add it to a larger Housekeeping Plan group’s reservation for a sleeping cabin. It has a three piece bathroom (sink, toilet, shower stall), sitting area, mini fridge, and electric heater. The screened-in porch provides a view of camp and the lake.
Cabin 7
This cabin is up on a hill, overlooking the lake. 3 bedrooms, with 8 twin beds total, provide ample room for larger groups. Cook with electric appliances and stay warm with the wood stove. The large dining table is great for card games and fish fries. Relax on the front deck overlooking camp and Wabatongushi Lake.
