When you hike up the Erin Mountain trail to the Uplands, you will be able to view large areas of exposed anorthosite bedrock, where you may stumble upon plagioclase crystals up to 10 centimeters long. This jet black mineral, commonly called lodestone, in the past was used by early explorers in their navigational equipment. Remember while in a provincial park photograph and explore, leaving everything you see in its natural condition. There are 150 campsites which are planned for their beauty and a maximum of privacy. Each one is only a few steps away from the shore of Barachois Pond.
Most campsites can accommodate the larger recreational vehicles.
Each campsite has a picnic table, fireplace, and space for your vehicle. Refer to the map on the other side for the location of your campsite in relation to other park facilities and activities. Drinking water, wood supplies and pit toilets are located in each camp loop. A wheel- chair accessible comfort station, including flush toilets, showers and a laundry room, is in the first loop after the park checkpoint. The trailer dumping station is located here as well.
