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 [...]

Longpoint Provincial Park is the fourth oldest park in Ontario, boasting over 1.5 km's of sandy beach! It is one of my favourite beaches in Ontario and I have been camping at Longpoint for about 8 years straight now. The tradition was started by my friend Cynthia, who used to have a group of her friends join her there annually, and has continued on with our volleyball group, spending a few days of fun in [...]

The Marsh Trail is one of the many trails you can visit when at Rondeau Provincial Park. I camped at Rondeau from July 24th to July 26th, and the day of our departure, we headed to the Marsh Trail for a hike to stretch our legs before our 4 hour drive back home. Here is the description of the trail from the @ontarioparks website : http://www.ontarioparks.com/park/rondeau (I hope it's okay that I quote this? ) "Marsh Trail – 7.2 [...]

On saturday July 18th at 4am my friend Steph and I headed up the Trans Canada highway to Killarney Provincial park for a highly anticipated backcountry trip on Carlyle Lake. En route we saw two deers along the highway and then two moose! So totally exciting and I hoped a sign of things to come! Not by any means the best picture, but I love it anyways! Upon arrival we were greeted by enthusiastic park [...]

At 4am on Canada Day, 2015, on a cloudy drizzly morning, I headed out, car packed, kayak on top, and mom in the passenger seat, to Grundy Lake Provincial Park in Britt, ON. I was really excited to see this park as I had joined Twitter a few months ago and someone tweeted some photos from their trip there. Once I did some research on it I was convinced it was a park I wanted [...]
