Friday night

We will camp out the forest visited on my previous trip. Be advised there are no washrooms/thunderbox at this location.

Saturday

We will visit Bruce Peninsula National Park for some hiking and exploring - The park was named the #5 best park for natural science by explore magazine.

"This park lies at the northern end of Ontario’s “Great Wall” - the Niagara Escarpment - which is itself a geological wonder and a World Biosphere Reserve. But in addition to its fascinating limestone formations, the park also hosts some of the least-known treasures in Canada. A number of our showiest flowers, including the Calypso Lady’s Slipper and 42 species of orchid, grow here. And the limestone cliff edges are home to some of the oldest trees in the province - tiny Easter White Cedars that have been known to live for more than 1,300 years. The trees have survived so long because their cliffside locations has kept them safe from fire and logging." - Explore magazine, June 2007 issue

If we're lucky there may be some last minute campsite cancellations and we can camp overnight. If not, we will look elsewhere.

Sunday

We will wind down the trip by visiting Sauble beach, and Sauble Falls Provincial Park and/or canoe the Sauble River or one of two nearby lakes (Chesley and Gould Lakes near the Friday night campsite).

Wait list and payment dates:If you really want to come camping but are on the waiting list, you can send in money prior to the payment cutoff date. If everyone has paid and there are no extra spots, we'll refund your money, however, if an extra spot opens up on the cut off date, you'll get that spot.


Car pools and arrival times:We can show up any time on Friday. Car pool arrangements will be made with the help of the coordinator. In the case of waiting lists, a driver may replace a non-driver (or someone who chooses to meet at the site) if we have a lack of car space. Carpool drivers will make accommodations to pick up people and equipment at a convenient place and time.
Never been camping? Do not worry - I have access to all the equipment and information you need! Car camping is a fun and easy way to introduce yourself to camping in Ontario.
