Camp Tamakwa

Camp Tamakwa is nestled deep in the heart of Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, on the shores of South Tea Lake. Accessible only by boat, Tamakwa offers a truly unique and immersive experience in nature. Tamakwa is uniquely boat-only access, so no matter where your journey begins, the last few minutes of your trip will be by water, in a classic Pointer boat.
