With all the camping I do, I can use all the savings I can find. Even if its just a few dollars here and there! I always bring firestarter with me on every trip. It is a small item that can sometimes make or break your camping trip. Sometimes you are in the backcountry and all the good wood has been used up, or, you just arrived after several days of rain. Sometimes the wood [...]

While staying in a yurt at Mew Lake with my mom, we met a park ranger who had just come from working at Silent Lake. He told us all about the park and that he highly recommended us paying it a visit. I had heard a lot about Silent Lake but had never been there so I was appreciative of the information and decided to look into it further when I got home. A few weeks [...]

While camping at Mew Lake during Winter in the Wild, my sitemates and myself decided to go for a hike to Starling Lookout. We packed up our backpacks and ourselves as it was a balmy -22 (better than the -42 we'd been through already) and headed out on the trail. We didn't take our snowshoes as we'd been told all the trails were well packed and they weren't needed. I was bummed but no point [...]

Family day weekend boasted record low temperatures in Ontario. I decided to go camping at Mew Lake in Algonquin Park, in a summer tent, and at -42, it was a rough but surprisingly fun weekend. There were many circumstances that brought me to the Winter in the Wild Festival in Algonquin Park, as I was expected at Macgregor Point Provincial Park. Unfortunately, neither of my camping partners could make the trip, leaving me with two [...]

Several people who walked past the site I was staying on at Mew Lake, Family Day Weekend, said that it looked like a little village. This got me to thinking about it, and the differences betwen winter camping vs the remaining seasons. When you're camping in winter it really is just like we are all part of a small village. There is a great feeling of community among all of the campers. We are all temporarily living in [...]

Things at CamperChristina.com have been going great! So much so, I decided to ask my good friend Stacey Fox to help me design my logo! The logo is comprised of my favourite things and symbols for them. The tent, obviously represents camping, the campfire within, the social aspect of camping, people gathering around the fire and also included the food element, the log font for the word 'camper' because I love trees and the wave [...]

Judging by my name, Camper Christina, it's safe to say I love camping. What my name doesn't say is that I hate the cold and am not a huge fan of snow! As I have been strictly a 3 season camper, I have never had the need for a winter tent, which in addition to cold and snow, is a big reason I didn't think I would ever go winter camping. Regardless of that, I [...]
