Camping in Algonquin Park

Camping in Algonquin Park

Algonquin Park is a premier recreational area within the province of Ontario, Canada and it is a popular camping site that is visited by many people. Algonquin Park was first established a provincial park in 1893 and since that time many people have been visiting the area to enjoy the great outdoors. This recreational park is located off of highway 60 and it is bordered by highway 17 in the east and highway 11 on the west side. Each of these highways provide entry points into the park's area.

There are two major areas that are used for camping within Algonquin Park and they include the developed camping grounds and the undeveloped back country. The developed camping ground have been specifically designed by the park's personnel to provide an easy and friendly camping experience. Visitors who choose to camp out on the developed section of the park will have access to electricity, toilets, running water, laundry services, shower areas and comfort stations. People can also drive their vehicles to and from their campsites when they use the developed section.

Campers that decide that they want to go to the undeveloped side must be prepared because they're going to be on their own roughing it in the back country of Algonquin Park. There isn't any kind of modern services available in the back country and campers cannot drive their vehicles into the back country territory. It is strongly recommended that the back country be utilized by experienced campers because the untamed environment of Algonquin Park could be hazardous to inexperienced campers and thrill seekers.

Yurts are eight-sided mini-structures that can hold up to six people and they come outfitted with electrical heat. Campers can use a yurt for their camping experience if they choose to camp out on the developed side of the park. Yurts also come with bunk beds, florescent lighting, tables, chairs, shelves, propane and grilling equipment and some even have cooking utensils for guests. Ranger cabins offer another type of shelter for individuals who choose to camp out at the park. They have running water and heat. Keep in mind that Yurts are only available on developed camp grounds.

One good thing about the cabins is that some of them are located in the back country and if a person who decides to go into this region of the park can find out exactly where they're located; they can sleep inside of comfortable wooden structure as opposed to a tent outdoors. Unfortunately there is a catch, the cabins that are located in the back country can only be reached by a canoe. Since canoeing might not be a realistic option for most campers who decide to rough it, sleeping in a tent will probably be their only option. RV camping is also available for the developed side of Algonquin Park.

Regardless which side of the park that visitor decides to camp out in Algonquin Park they must have a permit to do so. Permits are required to enter the park and they are used to establish that a person or a party has the right to be on park grounds. Permits also  establishes which side of the park a person or group can attend. Permits can be obtained from the east or west visitors office  and they're also needed to identify the type of shelter where a person (or group) has chosen to stay. Fees are accessed for shelters with electricity and they vary in cost. Algonquin Park is open everyday of the year from 7 a.m. and it closes at 10 p.m.
