Camping at Mikisew Provincial Park
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

Winter Car Camping at Arrowhead Provincial Park
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

Camping at Charleston Lake Provincial Park
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
