On the Canadian side I would recommend doing Lake Superior Provincial Park (Agawa Bay)and Sleeping Giant Provincial Park. At Agawa, I would personally get a beach front site, great sunsets and the wind off the lake will keep the bugs in check. They are both easily near the top of my list of favorite parks in Ontario. The Trans Canada highway from the Sault to Wawa is some of the most scenic driving in the east, but I cannot imagine it being nearly as nice before the trees have bloomed. I can say that the bugs in central and northern Ontario are fierce in the spring. Having grown up in it and being one of the more bug tolerant people in my family, I find the spring black fly season nothing short of torture. If you have even the slightest concern about Mosquitos or Black Flies, I would not consider it (as previously stated) before August. For me the ideal camping season for the north is around July to the first snow.
