I'm looking for a good spot in Canada, preferably near the border, somewhere no more than 12 hours away (I live in South Jersey). I want to camp with my friends in a safe area with water nearby, but not on a camp ground. We're planning on going in March and not too many camp grounds will be open at that time. Also, we want it to be a unique experience with no other people/families around. Thanks
Answer
March ? In Ontario ?
Be prepared to be in deep snow, and in temps of 15 or 20 F, with a raw wind blowing off Lake Ontario.
Way too soon to be camping here. Do it in MAY, not March.
Now, for the location in MAY..............It is not legal to camp on private property in Canada. And any land that is NOT private is owned by the Provincial Government, and that is also a no-no unless it is a Provincial Park (like a NJ state park ) where there are rules and entrance fees.
In so many words ..........you can't do that in Ontario.
Here is a link to the Ontario Parks information website. LOOK for "sandbanks Provincial Park " or " Charleston Lake Provincial Park ", both of which are near the border crossing at the top of I -81 in New York State.

Does anyone know a place I can camp out in my car near Toronto?
Jim
I might go to Toronto for a day, but I don't want to drive 5hrs back at night and don't want/need a hotel room, I can easily sleep in my car. I was wondering if someone knew of a place, maybe a park or camp site or something similar, where I could park and safely sleep in my car
Answer
There's Glen Rouge campground just east of Toronto, or you can check with the Ontario Parks site. They have a few places not far from Toronto. But check the operating dates carefully. Many are closed by now. Failing any of those, google "Toronto truck stops". Truck stops aren't bad places to catch a few winks if you can find a relatively quiet corner. There are usually trucks coming and going all night, but there are washrooms and a place to get food at all of them.
