Any one out there that camps in Canada?
How about Ontario?
We have camped at many Ontario Parks over the years as well private campgrounds. Prefer ONTario Parks.
This year we are booked for MacGregor Point for July and probably will do another in August.
Of course we do car camping. Use a tent. Pretty much carry the house in the car. |

| Hi Gwen, Yah, I'm a camper. Algonquin park is my favourite, I go there three times a year. Spring, summer, and fall. Have you been there? I like to portage, constantly trying to find that perfect fishing spot. Algonquin is also very good for base camping. So many lakes! I've been to frontenac too. It is more for hiking not fishing but, its great for a winter hike! MacGregor Point looks great. Checked out the ontario parks site. |

One year we camped along Lake Huron, at a Provincial park. We had a tent and all of the stuff needed. Our 2 boys really liked the swimming! And the park was well kept. Another time, we camped near London, Ontario, at a nice campground outside of town. I think it was a provincial park, but i can't remember the name of it. There was a nice large lake there, a nice sandy beach, and they were having some kind of country music show there that weekend. This was back 40 years or so!
Then we went to Niagara Falls, and stayed at Camp Niagara, a private campground. We took in the Welland Canal and locks, saw the tourist traps at the falls, saw the falls, And had a great time! I think the canal is more interesting than watching a river commit suicide!
I don't think we'll be going back to Canada, since we're getting along in years, gas is out of sight, my wife is in poor health, but we're happy here in our little house! Only trouble--the state will soon have it for taxes, if something isn't done soon to help us!
But, i could drive to Florida just to get warm, if winter doesn't quit soon here!

| Hi Gwyn, I live just north of Keswick on Lake Simcoe. We go camping twice a year. We've been to Grundy, Arrowhead, Silent Lake, Awenda, Killbear, Restoule, Six Mile Lake, Bonnechere and we're going to try Bon Echo for our first trip this summer. Grundy is quite far but absolutely tranquil, Arrowhead was surprisingly close to us and very nice, Awenda is very shady, nice but the beaches are kinda rocky. Silent Lake was very pretty but REALLY hilly. Killbear is a favorite of Torontonians but I find the people that go there wreak it for the rest of us(no offence)the people are too fast paced and that's not the way to act in a park full of people. Restoule is far but not that exciting, Six Mile Lake is nice but too close to hwy 69...noisy. Bonnechere is far as well but is small and quite nice. I'm itching for that nice weather!!!!!!! I love camping! Lorena |

| Hi, I've been to Algonquin several times and just love it. We canoe or kayak in and it is so peaceful. The only sign of civilization is an occasional plane flying over way up in the blue. I can't wait to go back! |

| My husband and I have a 25' fifth wheel we "camp" in. We can get into just about any campground because of the size. I can't tent camp anymore because of slipped discs and arthritis in my back so we carry our house behind us. We will be travelling from CA to Canada for about 6 weeks this August. We will go up through Idaho and travel east. We love hiking with our Border Collie, my husband stream fishes and I paint. My husband is retired and I will be retiring in August (hence the extended trip). Any suggestions as to good places to stop and camp? We prefer dry camping, usually better campgrounds. |

Wow has been a while since I was here....
This year we camped in June at Point Farms (has become our favorite spot)
We did 1 night camping on the banks of the Ottawa river when we went Whitewater rafting a week ago.
And we go camping to Turkey point (on Lake Erie) the August long weekend
Any others? |

| So far this year we have camped for 1 week in Algonquin, and 1 long weekend in Sandbanks. Turkey point is nice - we stayed there a few years ago. I was at Point Farms many years ago with my family, but haven't gone recently. I remember there was a barn in the park and they had a Square Dance! |
