As a newbie to camping, this site has been invaluable. Thanks for putting the time and effort into making such a quality blog.
ReplyDeleteMom, is that you?
DeleteBut seriously, thanks very much for your feedback; knowing that the information I've posted has been of use is all a blogger can ask for. I hope that you've had some great experiences camping so far and that you'll have many more to come.
Hi Umo,
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is that I really enjoyed reading your blog. I am a bit of camping lover too and I recently launched my website. It is a camping business directory where campers could freely post their reviews and share their experiences.

Please take look when you get a chance and let me know what you think.

Thanks CAmpingHUB, glad you enjoyed the blog. Best of luck with your new website, it looks like it'll be a very useful tool.
DeleteHey man, just wanted to say thanks for putting this together, great blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Steve, I appreciate your feedback!
DeleteGreat blog! Wondering if you had any recommendations of decent backcountry camping areas that are fairly accessible by car within 6 hours of toronto.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Thanks a lot, Jim! When you say fairly accessible by car, I take it to mean that there isn't too much canoeing. In that case, my top picks within 6 hrs of Toronto are:
Delete-Joeperry in Bon Echo
-High Dump or Stormhaven in Bruce Peninsula
-George Lake in Killarney
-Barron Canyon or Canisbay in Algonquin
-Mississagi Interior (not sure if its still accessible)
-Lac Edouard in La Mauricie (stretching the 6 hr limit there, but you'll probably have it all to yourself)
Have a great trip!
Thanks so much! I'll let you know what one we pick and how it goes.
DeleteI also want to say thanks for this blog! It's informative, well written, and organized. We had a great trip at Joeperry.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, ok korea! I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed your trip to Joeperry - it's the first place I ever canoe-camped and it's great to hear that it still provides a memorable experience 15 years later.
DeleteHello Umo. I took my time and explored your site here and its pretty amazing to observe the amount of information you have put together here. I would like to get in touch with potential freelance writing opportunity. Let me know if you are interested, via email info(at)parksbloggerontario(dot)com.thanks
ReplyDeleteI really like your reviews and they are very helpful! We chose our recent camping destination of Lake Superior Agawa based on your comments, and we loved it!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your feedback, Lori, thanks! Really glad to hear that you enjoyed Agawa, Lake Superior Park is a stunner.
DeleteHey man, thanks for sharing such a useful information about Ontario camping.
ReplyDeleteMy name is Vitaliy, I'm from Russia. I camped a lot at my home country and I would like to keep my lovely hobby here. I have a question, which is very tricky to me... Is it allowed to use dead trees or track down some wood surround on the backcountry sites for a fire? I believe it's not allowed on regular campsites and you have to buy some, but I'm not sure about backcountry and Canoe-in sites...
Please advise. Thank you!
