While many of us think of camping as a warm weather pursuit, here in Northwestern Ontario we don’t let a little thing like the cold come between us and our favourite activities. Turn your day trip into a unique adventure and give winter camping a try. With magnificent scenery, peaceful seclusion and a wonderfully soft sleeping surface, it’s everything you want from camping, just colder.
