Wow! A must see lake and provincial park when you’re in northern Manitoba.
We were only here for a few hours and managed to check out Sunset Beach and the nearby trails. I would allot 3-4 days out here as the park surrounds the lake and has multiple views and spots to check out.
Non-modern washrooms located at every parking lot.

Water so clear you can see to the bottom at >40ft! Great treed campgrounds, multiple boat launches, soft sandy beaches and be sure to check out Sam’s Snack Shack at Pioneer:)

Stayed here in the yurts.my first experience in those. It was a great experience.
A few notes on the camp ground.
It has showers. They're coin-op, and require old loonies to work, but the staff know this and provide these on request.
Flush toilets in the camp area and we'll kept outhouses elsewhere.
The sites are quite nice. Big, and generally isolated enough to give you privacy.
There are also dishwashing stations. You need to provide the soap, but the option of how water for washing is remarkably nice and convenient to boot.
Firewood is sourced locally and instead of the standard green, wet punky stuff normally provided by sites, it's seasoned seasoned and dried. You pay for it and it seems like less than it is when it's getting loaded up but there's lots there. Considering the remoteness of the place it's understandable that they need to charge a bit of a premium.
The water on the lake was a bit less clear than advertised, but considering the almost galeforce winds it's understandable.
The beach is very rocky, but these are rocks smoothed by thousands of years of erosion and almost entirely limestone so they really don't hurt the feet. The paddling and scenery here are absolutely great.
There's a short (or long if you want) hiking trail right in the campsite which gives you a real impression of how deep in the woods you can really be. For Manitoba, the trees are enormous.
You'll have to decide if is a feature or a flaw: limited cell service. There's a place near the beach that offers a decent signal occasionally and one place neat the stop sign when you enter the campsites proper, but that's it. If you're looking to unplug, this place is amazing. I would, however ensure you download your favourite playlists before heading up because you won't be streaming anything.
The caves nearby are a particularly gorgeous nearby attraction. My nephews spent several hours climbing around and exploring.
Up the road at Pioneer Bay (I think that's the name?) there's also a small convenience store that sells ice cream.
