Backcountry CampingCanoe CampingThe park is world renown for its canoe camping. There are thousands of sites available in the park, with some a few minutes paddle from a launch point, while others are deep in the interior and could take you a week to reach. You can easily customize your trip to match your skill and fitness level, since most lakes have lots of sites, but be sure you plan carefully, since you have to book all your sites in advance. Make allowance for changing weather conditions and give yourself plenty of time to reach each new campsite. If you need guiding, instruction, gear rentals or shuttle services see our Guides, Outfitters and Instructors section. Take note that the park has a complete ban on cans and bottles in the backcountry - and they enforce it. See our Paddling section for more information. Have a look at the online map to get your bearings and be sure to pick up the canoe map from The Friends of Algonquin for detailed planning and to take along on your trip. Contact the park through Parks Ontario for further information and reservations. For information on outdoor guiding, instruction or canoe rentals for the park have a look at our Guides and Outfitters section.
Backpack CampingMost outdoor enthusiasts are surprised by Algonquin's excellent hiking and backpacking trails. In fact lots of repeat visitors aren't even aware that you can reach backcountry sites without a canoe. Have a look at our Backpacking section for details and be sure to contact The Friends of Algonquin to get a hold of the great trail map before you do any planning. Contact the park through Parks Ontario for further information and reservations. Winter camping enthusiasts should have a look at our Winter In Algonquin section.
