Algonquin Park is an awesome natural resource! I have hiked on some of the trails [one Thanksgiving weekend in the snow!]; attended a number of Social Justice Retreats at Camp Arowhon [a wonderful facility about an hour from Whitney and the East Gate of the park!]; and enjoyed restful long weekends at another Algonquin Park jewel ~ Kiillarny Lodge! I can’t wait to return to the pristine trails, vistas, rivers, lakes, and abundant wildlife the park encompasses.

The photo’s inspire me to try camping…and a tent trailer makes it even more appealing.

It is a beautiful spot. We camped here last summer, but rented the yurt instead. It was heavenly … and it’s a great option for those who want to camp, but don’t like a lot of what comes with camping.

You rock Jules!

Glad you had a great time camping. Such a great way to spend time with the family! Keep on updating all of us with your exploits!

Hubby and I used to canoe camp in Algonquin before kids too. We loved it. We tried it two years ago with our girls, then aged 4 and 6, and it was successful, but it was an awful lot of work. I did not feel the old zen that I used to get.
I am completely sold on the car camping idea for a few years to come. And a cottage is even better!

Wow, that is so beautiful. I have to say, this story is tempting even for me and my life-long hatred of the outdoors. The whole tent-trailer thing seems like a possibility. I’m mulling it over.

En route to the park you would have passed through my hometown (Barry’s Bay, the place with the HUGE stop sign, and the replica of the Avro Arrow). Since I grew, up so close to the park, we used to go there in the summers to hike and occasionally camp. I love it, too, and look forward to introducing my own children to all the park has to offer.
