Muskoka Ontario Camping?

Q. Hi everyone,

Myself and a few others are trying to figure out an area in muskoka that we can go camping that is not a designated camp ground. If anyone knows of a good place please let me know!

Thanks in advance.

Answer
If you are looking for something remote, try Massasauga Provincial Park, just south of Parry Sound, or, of course, Algonquin Provincial Park, Huntsville.

Fact is, there is very little public (Crown) land left in Muskoka / Parry Sound, and most areas are designated no camping. Any other lands are privately owned, and whether posted or not, you will be trespassing if you use these lands without owners permission.

As a landowner in Muskoka, I am tired of city folks, who seem to be completely ignorant about property law, trespassing on my land, camping, picnicking, scaring the wildlife, etc, etc. Just because I don't have a fence around my 250 acres, or "no trespassing" signs, does NOT make it public property. BTW, penalties for trespass are up to $2000.

I'm sure to people from an urban environment, Muskoka must appear to have large tracts of unoccupied land, but in fact Muskoka has a considerable population of both seasonal and year round residents, and virtually all land is privately owned. Please abide by this rule: If you don't own it, someone else does.

Im 21, boyfriend 22 and we live close to Ottawa.
We're looking for a place within about 3 hours of driving to go camping.

Maybe a place with boat rentals, or near some activities or anything that has something a just "a bit more" than the typical camp ground.
Any advice?

what are the best places to camp in Ontario Canada?

Emma Tucke

My boyfriend and I are hoping to go camping on a vacation to Canada. What are the best campgrounds and what are their rates. If you have links to websites for them that would be great as well.

Also what is the drinking age there? I overheard someone saying that if you are an american you must abide by the american laws.

Answer
Any of the multitude of provincial parks offer good camping. Pick the place you want to visit and then find a park nearby. Campsites run about $14 to $40 per night depending on what facilities there are in the park or your campsite. For instance electricity or access to showers will be more expensive than one that has no perks at all. Each park has a variety of different priced campsites. Some are just canoeing campsites and others have most of the comforts of home.

If you intend to drink you can't do it at a provincial campsite. They have a strict no alcohol policy, no loud noise too so leave the misic at home or bring headphones.

If you leave the park to drink you must be 19 in Ontario. In other provinces it is either 18 or 19. Your laws mean nothing in Canada. In Canada you follow our laws and drinking and driving will get you in a lot of trouble so don't do it.
