Near the very charming town of Almonte. This is a small flat spot tucked behind some trees off of a four-wheel drive track. Not a proper campsite. Good privacy and very hidden. Very muddy and sloppy after first pass. Possibility of getting stuck. This site might not be your best option due to wet terrain, but there are plenty of other good candidates in the immediate vicinity. Sparsely forested area. Old railroad bed. Pooled water. Some trash along route. Good cell service. Enough room for one or two vehicles. If visiting Almonte, THIS is your area for boondocking!

An unremarkable clearing at the end of a forest road spur a relatively short drive from the city of Pembroke. Recommended for a quiet night of sleep close to town. Military base nearby. Heard training and firing in the far distance. Poor cell service. Wooded area near ATV track. Enough room for one or two vehicles. A lot of roads to explore here, but this site is only recommended for privacy and proximity to town.

Very nice fee campground in Algonquin Provincial Park at Mew Lake. The only vehicle accessible campground open year round in park. Directly on lake. Clean. Fire ring. Bathrooms. Showers. Picnic tables. Enough room for two vehicles per campsite. Coniferous wooded area with good cell service and good hiking nearby. Also good destinations for kayak and canoe. Recommended for park experience.

A small lakeside primitive campsite with a stone fire ring at the side of the road. Near small lakeside cabin and ATV play area. Spot was dead quiet during my stay in the middle of the week. No other vehicles or people or ATVs. Summer or weekends may be busy. No cell service. Enough room for single vehicle. Next to lovely birch trees that line lake and wooded area.

A horrible lakeside campsite in a densely populated area. Behind a restaurant there is a short two track that leads to the beach. Tucked behind some trees and brush, so it does offer a little privacy, however, apartment buildings look on both sides and in the middle of town so there is plenty of noise and traffic. Good cell service. Spot for ground tent. Barely room for single vehicle. Be wary of soft sand. Not recommended. Good mozzarella sticks at restaurant.

A gravel pit at the end of a lightly traveled spur that intersects with a hiking trail. The gravel pit itself isn't glamorous but it is flat, private, and quiet with good cell service. Nearby hiking trail has bridge out and is incomplete but lovely wooded area just next to gravel pit. Enough room for several vehicles. Close to Algonquin and road devolves into fun four-week drive track. Recommended.

A discreet flat spot in a brushy clearing just off an ATV track. Not a proper campsite. This is just a secluded place for a single vehicle to spend the evening not far from the town of Almonte. Good cell service. Not much room. Near residential. There is better camping if you go further in, but this was close to town. Not recommended.

This is an arbitrary clearing along the side of a backcountry road that looks like it might be actively logged or developed. No fire ring or amenities. Enough room for one or two vehicles. Some cell service. Wooded area. The road itself is a long spur that terminates at an ATV trailhead. Spent the night here out of necessity. It was quiet, private, and felt safe, but unremarkable.

Primitive clearing off of railroad bed with makeshift toilet and fire ring. Enough room for multiple vehicles. Next to beautiful river and near backcountry steel truss bridge formerly likely used by logging trucks. Very remote, surrounded by woods, and no cell service. This is a lovely site and strongly recommended.

Beautiful lakeside campsite. Designated camping area on Crown Land. Wooded area. No cell service. Enough room for three or four vehicles. Two hour drive to pavement. This is very remote and feels like a best kept secret. A lot of logging roads and narrow ATV routes. Fire rings and a rustic pit toilet. Way out there if you want to be off grid. Recommended.

A designated, lakeside camping area on the edge of a Provincial Park. Spacious clearing and lake access for numerous vehicles. Very remote. No cell service. Rustic pit toilets. Wooded area near very active logging operation during my stay. Beautiful wilderness and a lot of lakes and roads to explore in the area. Resort lodge nearby. Recommended.

A designated camping spot in protected wilderness next to river and picturesque Lower Goose Falls. There is a makeshift pit toilet here and a couple of fire rings. Wooded area with no cell service and very remote. Beautiful spot that likely sees more traffic during warm season. A rustic bridge spans the river at the top of the falls. Enough room for two or three vehicles. Recommended.
