Silent Lake - Pincer Bay Campground

Pincer Bay Campground is one of two campgrounds at Silent Lake Provincial Park, a 1,450-hectare park on the Canadian Shield in eastern Ontario near Bancroft.

Set in a forested setting on the shores of Silent Lake, the campground offers 65 sites with gravel pads, is open seasonally from May to October, and accepts reservations. Sites accommodate tent camping, and the maximum stay is 28 nights.

Within Pincer Bay, two loops of walk-in sites (numbered 66–73 and 74–88) provide a semi-wilderness experience; campers park in a designated lot and carry gear no more than 500 metres to their site.

The broader park offers swimming, hiking, cycling, kayaking, and canoeing, with no motorboats permitted on the lake.
