I'm looking to camp at Algonquin, but I've never been there and its such a huge park. Is there an area that is close (within walking distance) to nice water but has a good amount of privacy?

Answer
Pog Lake has some of the most private campgrounds, Mew Lake next. All the campgrounds are on nice water. Check the maps though, you can choose to stay on a traveled road or paddle/portage to a wilderness site.

Check out their site. Also if you email you'll get a prompt response. Happy camping!

How old must you be to camp overnight, solo, in a Canadian Provincial Park?

I'm 16 now, and I'm not quite sure what age you must be to camp solo in Algonquin, Killarney, Quetico etc. I've seen 16 and 18 in different places so if someone could clear up the age limit for camping solo in interior sites in Canadian Provincial Parks, that would be great. Thanks!

Answer
I think it depends on the park's regulations itself. I'm not sure who has authority over that...it might be the Provincial park system itself or the individual park.

Either way, I highly doubt they will ever ID you for being under aged camping there. This is true especially with friends. If you are under 18 and going solo, maybe just give the particular park a shout and ask if it would be ok.
