Nopiming Park/Beresford Lake Campground

J C

This campground is very beautiful and has some nice camping sites. However there are a few things to keep in mind if you camp here. First, the road is gravel and very twisty. Especially between Beresford and Lac du Bonnet. So drive carefully. We arrived coming from Bisset and the road is less twisty and bumpy that way but it’s a bit longer drive. We didn’t know we were supposed to check in at Black Lake which is about 35 minutes away. We arrived at Beresford in the evening and then went to Black Lake the next morning to check in. You get one bag of free firewood a night which is nice. Beresford campground has NO modern amenities. Bring extra toilet paper and your own hand sanitizer. The men’s outhouse had zero hand sanitizer. There was enough toilet paper but it got low. There is zero cell service. There are no stores or gas stations nearby. I believe the closest one is Trappers. The water from the pump is from the lake and needs to be boiled. So bring enough drinking water with you. There is a nice fishing spot but we didn’t catch any fish. We were told it’s a bad year for fishing. You can swim off the rocks too but we didn’t end up swimming.

First time here this year and what a gorgeous place! We had a lot of rain so I was surprised to find that the free wood area that they advertised wasn’t covered, so unfortunately it was all very wet. Also the pieces were huge logs so luckily we had brought axes to chop it up! The check in office when we pulled into the campground stated that we had to go back to Black Lake campground to check in. Which would mean 25KM, give or take, of backtracking to check in. Not super ideal! Luckily a park patrol man came the next day and we filled everything out with him. Two other couples camped nearby said they didn’t drive back to check in either as they’d also already paid and didn’t want to do all that extra driving. Because of the back tracking the patrol man said most people don’t drive back so he just comes around. Seems a bit odd of a way to have that set up. Last Small thing but for the long weekend it would have been nice to have the outhouse hand sanitizer dispensers full rather than empty when we got there. A few things that I feel should be noted but otherwise we had a fun time enjoying the beautiful campground! We met so many nice people and there was fishing spots we could literally walk to or plenty of other close by lakes to drive to! We would absolutely go back again, it was a beautiful and fun place! :)
