backpack camping ontario image
Nick
I'm planning on going next summer, I want to visit a good spot. It's gonna be me and two friends, I was first thinking somewhere around Ontario cause I also wanna check out Toronto, but it sounds like Western Canada is a much better location. I can't decide. Help?
Answer
Hey there
I've been backpacking around Canada on and off for the last year. Ontario is awesome, plenty to see and do. Toronto is great, lots of food, great people. Niagra falls is just around the corner, I'd definitely say if you're around there to check it out.
Like you said, western Canada does have a lot to offer. Vancouver Island (which rocks) is always high on backpackers lists. Lots to see and do. Scuba, surfing, kayaking, whale watching, hippie towns, (tofino), lots of hiking. Victoria is a super cool town, lots of great coastal drives. Plus Vancouver itself is just a cool place too. Everythings so close to the mountains too, couple hours out of Vancouver and you can rent a mountain bike and do some biking through the rockies. Lots of camping available around here too, as cheap as 10 dollars a night for a site (up to 30 for the posh campsites).
Check out my website on backpacking Canada, it might help you decide or at least help you out along the way.
Best of luck, and have fun!

Camping / Backpacking in Canada?

Is it ok, if you go to Canada, and just backpack through Canada, probably Ottawa, Ontario, and camp/canoe/fish in the wilderness, or do you by law have to go to a campground? Thanks, any help is appreciated.
Answer
You can stay outside of campgrounds.Ontario Is pretty walkabout,camper oriented.
Of course,private land is or isn't accessible,but people are pretty friendly about allowing over niters.
Look up Parks Canada's website they should offer good suggestions.
Lastly,the area you mention is vast and rural,lakes rivers,forests.
There is enough space for you to join us.
My farm is on the bicycle,motorcycle tour route,my neighbour has people on his land often.
Just don't litter and watch your fires and come on down(or up !)
Bring your blackfly gear.
Also,depending where you going to be,the gov't campgrounds are some of the most beautiful and easy to find privacy.
If in Ottawa,head to Algonquin Park area,or if you are mobile ask about Charlston Lake area.
Sorry for the rant but your question made me think of good times.
