Northern Wish Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 If you were going to go camping on Saturday (leave Sat morn, come back Sun afternoon) in the Ottawa area or within an hour or two....Where would you go?I have no reservations, limited 'roughing it' skills, and no credit card.Was thinking of Lac La Peche, but you have to rent a canoe to get to the sites- and no cc as I stated above.Help me out, kind skanks???

Calamity Jane Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 without a doubt: Murphy's Point Provincial Park.~neat hikes (including an abandoned mica mine) ~a decent (though small-ish) beach ~tent sites are all very tree'd and private~excellent canoeing with lots of turtles, snakes, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Jane Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 oh yeah... all provincial parks have some first-come, first served sites that cannot be reserved in advance, so as long as you arrive early enough, you should be okay to just drive in off the road, as it were.

SaggyBalls Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 You could head up to Foley Mountain in Westport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Bon Echo for sure... However it'll probably be pretty busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booches sista Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I doubt you'll get into any Provincial Parks this weekend, even on the non-reservable sites. We tried to book at Bon Echo for this weekend 5 months in advance (the maximum) and it was booked. We ended up getting one at Murphy's point, but it was slim pickin's! It's annoying how difficult it is to get into the Provincial Parks anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
