    Yes, we need to expand provincial park campgrounds to catch up with population growth. It’s a crime that in such a big, mostly forested province, people can’t easily get a couple hundred square feet of grass to pitch a tent for a weekend.

      There are literally millions of acres of crown land available all over Ontario with thousands of old logging roads and gravel pits for parking and access

      I don’t know about the other provinces but use the Ontario policy atlas to find it and go experience real camping.

      Oh don’t get me started. In BC they “expanded” the number of campgrounds by converting existing non-provincial-park campgrounds (forestry service campgrounds) to be under the provincial park system. They jacked up the prices (some were free before) and added no services. Total bullshit.

        You guys keep stealing shitty ideas from the US. We’ve been privatizing state park reservations for years and making it cost as much as a cheap hotel in some places.

        And the bathrooms are worse than when you shoved $5 a night into a metal tube by the entrance.
