When most people think of camping at an Ontario provincial park, they imagine towering trees, quiet forest sites, and the feeling of being far removed from everyday life. Craigleith Provincial Park doesn’t quite fit that picture — and that’s something worth knowing before you book. Craigleith is much more of a trailer-style campground than a rugged, backcountry escape. Campsites are close together, many are designed for RVs and trailers, and privacy is limited compared to mo

Some camping trips are all golden-hour sunsets and quiet mornings by the lake. Others test every ounce of patience, preparation, and calm you have. Our trip to Bon Echo Provincial Park during the derecho firmly landed in the second category—and it’s one I won’t ever forget. Bon Echo is one of those parks that feels almost sacred the moment you arrive. Mazinaw Rock towers over the lake, ancient pictographs etched into its face, the kind of place that naturally slows you down.

There’s something about camping in the early fall that just hits different—and Inverhuron Provincial Park reminded me of that in the best way possible. Inverhuron Provincial Park is one of those places that doesn’t try to impress you—and somehow ends up doing exactly that. Located right on the shores of Lake Huron, this park is calm, spacious, and refreshingly low-key. It’s the kind of campground where the days feel slower and the noise of everyday life fades out pretty quick

Winter Camping at Arrowhead Provincial Park to ring in 2026.

There’s something about ending the summer under the trees, by the lake, and away from the noise of everyday life that feels grounding. This Labour Day long weekend, I packed up for a trip to Mikisew Provincial Park—a hidden gem tucked away in the heart of cottage country. It was the perfect way to close out the season and soak in one more adventure before fall takes over. Mikisew Provincial Park is smaller than some of the other Ontario parks I’ve camped at, but that’s part o

There’s no better way to kick off the summer season than spending the May long weekend outdoors, and Sturgeon Bay Provincial Park is the perfect hidden gem for a peaceful nature escape. Located just off Highway 400 in Pointe au Baril, Ontario, this cozy and quiet park offers a classic Northern Ontario camping experience — tranquil, scenic, and stress-free. Best of all, it’s just over two hours north of Toronto, making it an easy weekend getaway. This trip also marked a small

Winter camping isn’t just for the extreme adventurers with backcountry gear and four-season tents. If you’ve ever dreamed of experiencing the magic of a snow-covered forest but aren’t quite ready to sleep in a tent at -20°C, car camping is a perfect way to bridge the gap. This past weekend,I packed up my dad's GMC Acadia, with Rosie and headed to Arrowhead Provincial Park for an unforgettable cold-weather adventure. Why Arrowhead? Situated in Muskoka, Ontario, just 2 hours aw

As Labour Day weekend approached, we packed up the car and headed to Sandbanks Provincial Park, eager to soak in the last moments of summer. Sandbanks is famous for its stunning sand dunes, gorgeous beaches, and warm waters of Lake Ontario—perfect for a long weekend camping adventure. We arrived on Friday evening, ready to set up camp. Our campsite was tucked away in a cul de sac, with 2 other campsites. There was little to no privacy in this area. After pitching the tent, se

Camping at Charleston Lake was one of my favourite trips last year, so I knew I needed to go back there this year. As I stepped out of the car at Charleston Lake Provincial Park, the sky was already a muted grey, promising an evening of rain. But this wasn’t a trip for adventure or exploration; it was a retreat to simply be, to find comfort in the quiet rhythm of nature, and to reconnect with nature. The rain began as a soft drizzle as I set up camp. The sound of droplets tap

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to camp in a yurt, let me take you through this unforgettable experience. Driving up to Silent Lake Provincial Park, was a drive
