Frequently Asked Questions

What truck camper is best for Ontario?

Ontario's mix of developed campgrounds and remote Crown land roads calls for a versatile camper. Pop-ups and wedge models navigate the narrower access roads to lakeside spots well. For the long camping season desired by hunters and ice fishers, a 4-season camper with a solid furnace pays for itself. Good screen systems are essential for bug season in the north.

Can I camp for free on Crown land in Ontario?

Yes, Canadian residents can camp for free on Crown land in Ontario for up to 21 days at a single location. Non-residents need a camping permit from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. Crown land camping is most abundant north of the French River and Mattawa River corridor, with excellent access throughout the Algoma, Sudbury, and Thunder Bay districts.

When is the best time to truck camp in Ontario?

The prime season is mid-June through mid-October. Late June through August offers warm weather and the best swimming, though bug pressure can be intense in the north through early July. September and early October bring stunning fall color and cooler nights with far fewer bugs. Spring camping (May) is possible but roads can be muddy and bugs are at their worst.
