On some parts of Crown Land, yeah. That's what I said. :)
Here's a recap of my original post on this topic:
- In certain situations permits are required for camping on Crown Land.
- Ontario Provincial Parks require permits for camping, even interior camping, such as at Algonquin Provincial Park.
- Private campgrounds and conservation areas often require permits.

No.
Anyone who wishes to camp in a provincial park or in most private campgrounds requires a permit.
Camping on Crown Land in most areas is free for up to 21 days, for Canadian residents and non-resident landowners. |

There are many sites on Algonquin.
They have some camp sites where you can actually park your car on site and just setup a tent next to it. You are walking distance to hiking trails, a lake, etc.
If you are looking for an adventure, there are many camp sites along the hiking trails, some are up to 10km inside a trail and offer seclusion and usually they are right on a clean lake.
There are parking spots at the access points for every hiking trail.
I just did the Highland hiking trail, and it was very scenic, but was quite steep at some points. We stayed at two different camp sites and they were both BEAUTIFUL and 2 seconds from clean water. |
Woah, that sounds awesome! Is there some sort of a detailed map of the park, trails, parking spots, etc, that can be downloaded online? Or perhaps purchased at the entrance? And where IS the entrance? Also, are you sure that i can just park my car anywhere? Won't i get towed if i don't have a permit or something? Thanks!!

If you want something closer in the same region, I can refer you to a campground in the Haliburton Highlands (just south of Algonquin Provincial Park). 3 hour drive to Toronto and still most of the amenities in the area, including excellent restaurants. Mike Myers often dines at the Thai restaurant in Minden when he's up here during the summer.
The campground is under new management and from my experience dealing with them, are great people. Full service (showers, meals, etc.) available. I spoke to them yesterday and they still had many nice sites free for the weekend. PM me. |
Thanks a lot for the offer, but i actually spent the last long weekend in a cottage in that same area, so i'd like to go someplace new this time around. |

Alright, but what about what MarkT and cap have said about not needing one if i go to Algonquin? Will i be able to park and just find a spot for my tent somewhere? I don't wanna drive up 3 hours and get kicked out :D |

| quote: | Camping Fees
Ontario Parks offers everything from tent and trailer camping in organized campgrounds to wilderness campsites
accessible only by canoe. Fees for camping vary according to the facilities and services provided.
Ontario Parks has three levels of fees for camping – premium, middle and low. Each fee level reflects the popularity of a campsite and the availability of facilities such as flush toilets and showers, and personal services such as educational programs. Page 42 outlines your Internet and phone reservation payment options.
When registering in person at the park you may use your debit card, cash, VISA, MasterCard or American Express credit cards to pay for your camping fees. GST is included. Sorry, but personal cheques are not accepted for in-person payments. |
