Great video guys..thank you can't wait for this summer....Pinery only issue, yes beautiful park but LOTS of ticks BEWARE

[sylviebrindamour]

Loved your video and highlights. I loved Charleston Lake for the trails and kayaking, Arrowhead is beautiful. A waterfront site at Presqu'ile is awesome but not much else to do there. Went to Pinery 10 years ago, loved it but I heard there's lots of caterpillars now. This summer we will try MacGregor Point and Awenda or Killbear. So many places to discover.

[crazynaska]

Killbear is our favorite, we also love Grundy and Mikasew, Sandbanks and Pinery!

[oldforrester]

Agree with Marjorie, Bonnechere pp is a great park, and has a wonderful beach and store as well as 4 rustic cabins that we would go to every year! The bonnechere river is great for canoeing 🛶.

There's a hidden gem in Eastern Ontario I've been going to since I was 3 years old....Bonnechere PP. You won't be disappointed. Beautiful small park!! The park store which is named after the parks former hostesses from when I was a kid, Mr. and Mrs. Davenport. Mr. Davenport designed the firepits you see today at all PPs. They were super nice people! They're hostess campsite is marked by 2 green rings on the sites post marker #88. A beautiful riverside site!

I second Silent Lake. We were there for our honeymoon 29 years ago, went a few years back when we first got our trailer and just booked for this year again. Great sites, pretty quiet and awesome kayaking on a lake that has no motorized boats.

Please share with us what you think are your top Ontario Provincial Parks. We want to check them out in upcoming seasons. Happy Camping

[marjoriechisholm-larouche]

OMG! Bonnechere! You can kayak the river for hours! Its beautiful. River sites are non electric, but you can put your kayak in from your site. Round lake is also right there and easy to kayak when its a calm day, fun to go along shore and check out the cottages.

Thank you very much for a great video!
I'm suggesting
- Killarney Provincial Park
- Killbear Provincial Park
Cheers

Not a bad list, Restoule and Charleston are a couple of our favorites. Pinery was fun when I was in high school but it's too much of a party park for us to really enjoy as adults. Algonquin is a bit hit or miss, some of the campgrounds in it are great some are pretty lack luster, you'd really have to divide it into it's individual campgrounds.

The best couple, doing the best video chat .. like your understanding of each other

[davidreaume]

Love your videos. You two are great ambassadors for camping in Ontario. My wife and I, along with our four children and now 13 grandchildren are tent campers (home town - Windsor). But we only go to one Provincial Park -- the Pinery. Sunsets, the Dunes and no mosquitos - it is perfect for us to get together. I have been to other parks and you are teasing me to see more. I was surprised you hadn't been exposed to fish flies (in your Long Point video). In Essex County we are experts on June bugs/fish flies. Town of Belle River could hold a fish fly festival.

[wendybestward]

I really like Awenda Park near Pentanguishene
5 beaches including a dog beach....snorkelling around a shipwreck....lots of trails, a smaller inland lake for paddling if big lake is rough....big campsites...heavily treed....bring a good flashlight and have fun! Dock lunch and boatcruises are nearby in Penetang....and can purchase freahly caught fish just down the road from campground. Went in Oct. when trees were turning colour....and was still warm enough to swim.

I watch videos like this every winter to cry about how far away summer is. I LOVE CAMPING!!!!

[fishrave]

I live in huntsville and I must say that arrowhead is even more exciting in the winter! come check it out sometime

[tyleratkinson]

I have been to 73 Ontario Provincial Parks based on a recent count. I am a "car and tent" camper, usually staying 1 night and moving on. Last summer I went to several north of Sudbury/North Bay. I agree Algonquin is the best one. If you want easy reservation access (and don't mind taking time to get there), the more northern ones had it in 2020 (I went June 26-July 12) whereas many didn't. In 2020 summer, I went to Nagamasisis, Kettle Lakes, Fushimi Lake, Rene Brunelle, Esker Lakes, Marten River, Finlayson Point, White Lake, and Neys. Good choices in 2020, and likely 2021 for people who can't get a reservation in other areas due to high volume - I never booked in advance. Some allowed bike and boat rentals (you needed your own life jacket) - whereas most parks didn't in 2020 and likely won't in 2021.

Great video team...thank you . Very pumped for this season of camping

[PatlLawson]

Ben and Cheryl, thank you for these awesome videos! You've just influenced a couple of choices for our 2021 camping season. Visiting our beautiful Ontario Provincial Parks was the best thing for our sanity last summer & I can hardly wait to get out again. Discovering your videos comes at the perfect time as I begin planning this summer's schedule. Charleston Lake is on our list as recommended by a friend, your video seals the deal. We discovered Rondeau's beauty in 2020 where the beaches are (still) amazing and have it booked again for this summer. Our absolute favourite park in the province is Killarney which we discovered years ago as backcountry trippers. I'd love to try it with our new trailer but have to convince my husband into boondocking it. We honeymooned in Algonquin many moons ago on a 10 day circuitous canoe trip and so it holds a special place in our hearts, but a recent trip revealed it's become just too busy for us. Still, it was good to see it so well used. And all of our parks, Ontario really does it so well!

Great video. Before we bought our RV we were tenting. Been to pinery a couple of times and loved it. Also liked presquile. But our favourite was when we went north to pancake bay. Absolutely beautiful. Lots of Lakeview sites. And the beach is stunning. Almost Caribbean like. This summer we're going to pog lake for our holidays. Already booked at Darlington for may 24. Getting excited for the summer.

That's pretty awesome that my All-time favorite park made ur top 5..👍👍
Our favorite park is Restoule PP.
Now perhaps I'm bias because this is the park I essentially took my family to for 20+ years, and although we've tried other parks Arrowhead, Martin River etc... There was always something about Restoule that called to us. It's likely the memories ...lol. but it truly is a Great park. I love the privacy of some of the "Belle's site" sites. Those sites are non electrical, so obviously that needs to be up your alley.
But love the channel guys... And enjoy the camping😊😊👍
