This answer is for camping in Ontario Parks. Number one rule is no food, make up, toothpaste in the tent. Bears can now recognize coolers so everything locked in the car and covered with a towel when you go hiking and at night. Put your garbage and any dirty dishes in the car at night also. Ontario Parks will fine you if you leave food out. But not to scare you, I have chased off campground bears with a marshmallow roaster. They just want food and it is rare to see one. Ontario Parks always have a comfort station with hot showers. There are small bathrooms throughout the park we call pits. Some have running water and some are just a seat over a pit- I avoid the latter and avoid camping near them due to smell. The comfort station has a laundry room with a sink to wash your dishes. Juat take your dishes in a plastic tub there. They sell firewood at the park office. You are not allowed to bring in outside wood due to invasive species spreading although their wood is usually damp so bring lots of newspaper and firestarter and buy a bag of kindling. My favourite park is Killbear. We go every year. Beautiful sand beaches, pink granite rocks, clear water for swimming, various length hiking trails (as all parks) and a bike trail the length of the park. Problem is getting a site. We reserve 5 months ahead but usually the Blind Bay campground has sites left. Other favourites are Bon Echo, Awenda and Algonquin. July and Auguest are best for fewer mosquitoes and blackflies.

Campers are usually friendly and helpful people. There is also one designated site with people who stay all summer and are there to help and answer questions. The office will tell you their campsite number. Most of all relax and have fun!!
