About This Lodge
Reviews & Reputation
Blue Fox Camp, located on Kirkpatrick Lake (also known as Blue Lake) in Ontario's Algoma Highlands near Blind River and Elliot Lake, holds a strong and consistent reputation among guests. Every reviewed visit resulted in a five-star rating, and the tone across reviews — from families to television fishing show hosts — is one of genuine enthusiasm. Guests frequently describe the setting as uniquely beautiful and tranquil, and many note a desire to return, with at least one reviewer confirming a second trip. The camp is fly-in access only, reached by floatplane from Elliot Lake or Blind River, which contributes to the remote, disconnected atmosphere guests consistently appreciate.
The fishing is the most frequently praised aspect of Blue Fox Camp. The property sits within Ontario's only self-sustaining inland three-species trout system, offering lake trout, rainbow trout, and brook trout all in the same connected waterway — a rarity in Canada. Brook trout in the 2.5 to 4.5 pound range appear regularly in reviews, with some guests reporting fish in the 6 to 8 pound category. Fly anglers specifically note success with leech and woolly bugger patterns on the specialty management lakes above the main camp. Beyond fishing, guests also mention the food and hospitality warmly, calling meals "amazing" and staff exceptional, with guides noted as returning year after year. Amenities such as a sauna, swimming, and available Wi-Fi at the main lodge are also mentioned positively. Pricing is described as affordable relative to comparable Canadian trout destinations.
There are no recurring complaints across the reviews, and no negative experiences are reported. The one practical consideration that surfaces is weather: at least one reviewer noted that multiple weather fronts — including heavy rain, fog, and thunderstorms — moved through during a late-September visit, which affected fishing conditions. This is a natural reality of remote northern Ontario fishing rather than a camp-specific issue, but it is worth noting for trip planning purposes. Blue Fox Camp appears best suited for dedicated trout anglers, particularly those interested in fly fishing for large brook trout, as well as families looking for a genuine wilderness retreat and groups of friends seeking a mix of fishing and relaxation. It would also appeal to first-time fly-in guests given the staff's noted hospitality and the relatively accessible price point.
