Poplar Grove Camp: Lakefront Cottage & Resort
A simpler lakefront cottage for families
About this stay
Poplar Grove Camp keeps its listing straightforward: lakefront and kid-friendly, without the longer amenity lists found at Balsam Resort or Eganridge nearby. That simplicity suits families wanting a basic, unfussy lakefront cottage rather than a resort with golf courses and spa treatments attached. The property does not state a private dock or boat hire directly, so travellers prioritising confirmed water access should call ahead to clarify before booking a longer stay. At roughly an hour fifty-three minutes from the airport, it sits in the mid-range for Kawartha Lakes properties, closer than the more remote resorts but still requiring a proper drive from the airport itself. Its kid-friendly listing is one of the clearer family signals among the region's simpler lakefront cottages.
- Lakefront location
- Kid-friendly
- Cottage-style units
- Simple, low-key setting
Our take
I would book Poplar Grove Camp for families who want a plain lakefront cottage in Kawartha Lakes rather than a full resort such as Eganridge Resort, Golf Club & Spa. The listing is short on amenities and has no guest reviews yet, so it suits travellers comfortable with a simple setup. Anyone set on a stated private beach should look at The Lake Dalrymple Resort instead.
- ✓Call ahead to confirm dock or beach access, the listing states lakefront but does not detail the specifics.
- ✓Ask directly about kitchen facilities and cottage size if travelling as a larger family group.
- ✓Book early for summer weeks, simpler cottage resorts like this one tend to fill up during peak boating season.
Why we love it
- Simple, unpretentious lakefront setting
- Kid-friendly listing
- Lower-key alternative to nearby resorts
- Mid-range airport distance
Why guests love itPoplar Grove Camp is a set of simple lakefront cottages in Kawartha Lakes with a kid-friendly listing. Its appeal is the water close at hand and the no-frills cottage format, not resort services: the listing names few amenities and no guest reviews are published yet. I would choose it for a family lake week where you organise meals and activities yourself. The airport is close to two hours away by road.
