Thanks for this! Some 50 years ago, we went tent camping in Bon Echo. I launched my canoe and paddled across the lake. Did not know the pictographs were there - until I "discovered" them. Eerie!
Thanks so much Cheryl, thats pretty high praise! We’re really glad you’re enjoying our videos. We’re currently working on a new series on RVing to Newfoundland…hope you enjoy them too!
Bon Echo holds a special place in our hearts. We got married on top of the Rock in 2002. When we do go there we always go to the Hardwood Hills campgrounds and love the trails on that side of the highway as well as Joeperry Lake We are tenters now having just gotten rid of our tent trailer this year and gone bak to tenting year round but we do enjoy your videos.
Not too far from Ottawa, I think the park itself is about 100 years old? Mazinaw Rock is the big draw of course since it seems kind of incongruous with the surrounding area. Very nice Ontario woods, water, and rocks.
Hi territ - the answer to your question is difficult as Canada is a huge country geographically and not every province's parks are going to be as busy as others. Generally speaking, parks in the north are less likely to be busy as they are further from major population centres, but even these can fill up. And almost all parks will be MUCH busier in July and August, when kids are out of school. Shoulder seasons (may-June and Sept-Oct) will likely be less busy. Having said that, I would recommend reservations if possible. In Ontario, they can be made up to 5 months before you arrival date. Here's a link to the reservation site: www.ontarioparks.com/reservations Four of our personal favourites in Ontario are: Killbear, Lake Superior - Agawa Bay Campground, Algonquin and Bon Echo. Each province will have its own website. Also note, Canada has National Parks that also offer great camping and amazing attractions, A couple of very popular ones are Banff and Jasper in Alberta in the Canadian Rockies. Hope this helps!

Thanks Richard - and what a great ‘discovery’ - that would have been very cool to happen upon if you didn’t know they were there!

Married atop the rock! What a unique and wonderful experience! Thanks for sharing!

It is kind of incongruous….well put.
Tank for informations verry good video
Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed it.
I would love to travel through much of Canada and stay at some of the provincial parks. Do most require reservations?
