Awesome trip report!  The amazing thing about Algonquin (to me) is that every side of the park seems to have such a different landscape to it.  I haven't ventured too much into the southern area of the park but I really like the look of those sandy beaches and open campsites!

Thanks. I read ahead of time that the north site on Byers and southeast on Scorch were nice, but the others weren't great... so I was pretty surprised when I saw that all of them were actually pretty decent and I wouldn't have been upset camping on any of them (some still better than others of course, but there are far worse sites throughout Algonquin!)

Cool, nice report and good pics!  I've been meaning to head down to that part of the park - will definitely check it out.  Weird that those other campers weren't there....

Thanks, it's definitely a nice getaway for a quick 2-3 day trip when you're looking for something different in a less popular route.
 

Good stuff! I'm so ignorant of the southernmost part of the park I was saying out loud "Byers... Scorch? Is he talking about a different Algonquin?". 

You mention getting shuttled to Kingscote. Is that a normal service offered from an outfitter or did you have to make special arrangements?
