Charleston Lake Campground - Meadowlands

Meadowlands is one of three campgrounds within Charleston Lake Provincial Park, situated near Athens, Ontario, in the Frontenac Axis region of the Canadian Shield.

Unlike the park's other campgrounds, Bayside and Shady Ridge, Meadowlands sits in a younger forest, giving some sites a more open, sun-exposed feel. The campground offers a mix of electrical and non-electrical sites on gravel pads, with reservations available.

Charleston Lake Provincial Park itself is well regarded for paddling, swimming, fishing, and hiking. Motorboats are prohibited in the bay adjacent to the park, making it a particularly appealing destination for canoeists and kayakers.

Several hiking trails are accessible from the park, ranging from a short 2 km shoreline loop to longer routes traversing wetlands, meadows, and rocky Canadian Shield terrain.
