Have a truck camper set up and looking for some forestry roads or some fire routes. Can't do too much hard terrain. Wondering if anyone has some good spots or roads in southern Ontario. I've checked out Ontario parks to see non operating but not many near by that are able to be driven into
Thank you
Spent a few nights on Stoplog lake in the Kawartha Highlands. Beautiful rock cliffs dot the shores of the lake. Birds were all over the lake and the calls of whip-poor-wills rang through the night. A rock garden between Loucks and Compass as well as a steep portage between Compass and Stoplog were the major hurdles to get past, aside from the paddle down Long lake. All in all it was a great trip. This was our second stay on the lake.
I've put together a Discord server where campers in Ontario can share ideas, ask questions and swap stories about camping in the backcountry. The Ontario Backcountry Camping Club welcomes campers of all backgrounds and experience to join and participate. It is free to join with the only requirement being to agree to the rules and be respectful of other members. If you like canoeing, hiking and camping in the backcountry or you're interested in learning about it I would encourage you to join.
Why Discord? I find discord accommodates more active conversations between members better than a forum on reddit. It also has the capability of scheduling events to plan for meetups and a voice chat for things like meetings or potentially having educational discussions by more experienced campers.
Does anyone know of any free crown land camping spots within 45 min drive of Sudbury? Something like a drive up spot near the side of a river or lake. No more than 5 min walk from your parked car. They can be unofficial, in fact I’d rather that.
Thanx
Hi, I’m new to canoe camping, however I car camped a lot as a kid. In regards to food and garbage, how concerned do I need to be for bears/wildlife in and around Georgian bay camping?
I’ve heard of people hanging their food and garbage uo overnight, but unsure if it’s necessary here. If you think I should take some precautions, can you please provide some specifics of what you typically do?
Thanks in advance
New to camping in Ontario, I have experience in other provinces. I want some guidance on where the best camping location is, about 1-2 hours away from London Ontario. I want a waterfront view and a roofed accommodation. I prefer a private cabin with good space in between sites. I also don’t know where to book, I checked Ontario parks reservation site and it was confusing also most of the weekends are fully booked. I would love some guidance!
