Challenge. Solitude. Discovery. Landscapes of unparalleled beauty. These things await the long distance backpacker, canoeist and backcountry camper in Ontario's provincial parks.

Whether this is your first backcountry experience or simply your most recent rendezvous with the great outdoors, Ontario Parks can offer you a wilderness adventure that is quite simply second to none.

Backcountry sites
Ontario has more than 6,500 backcountry campsites - accessible only by canoe or on foot - tucked away in 21 different provincial parks. Veteran backcountry campers know to expect spartan facilities, typically a pit privy, a few tent sites and fire ring, and they plan their adventures accordingly.
