4-Day Canadian Camping Road Trip ("Moose On The Loose")

Toronto, Canada

Get Planning! →

Loaded with classic routes and itineraries, ‘Moose On The Loose’ turns Ontario into your very own playground for camping, hiking, swimming, and paddling fun. Stand tall at the edge of the world, visit the Flowerpots, and discover sunken shipwrecks aboard a glass bottom boat.

No guest preparation is needed, no equipment, not even a sleeping bag/ pad, or pillow. Lake Fever offers budget travelers free transportation, camp-cooked meals, and good old fashioned campfires, but please be advised, on this particular tour guests will be expected to share in cooking/dishes duties at least once. Sightseers can enjoy access to the Canadian wilderness for a unique opportunity that would otherwise take a lot of planning and money to arrange (not to worry, first-timers will learn the basics of camping).

Cross the great Canadian road trip off your bucket list. Who knows, it may be your once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Description

Itinerary

Day 1: Welcome To Algonquin!

Stop At: Huntsville, Huntsville, Muskoka District, Ontario
Lunch stop at a lakeside restaurant in cottage country. On a hot day, Huntsville's marina patios are the place to be. If there's time, guests can explore the quaint little shops of this beautiful small town or hop in the lake. Huntsville hosts many summer festivals, so if something exciting is happening, we'll be sure to take a peek before heading out. *Lunch not included*
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Algonquin Provincial Park, Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario
With 7,653 square kilometres of space, world famous Algonquin Provincial Park is larger than some countries! Perhaps that's why it's one of the best places in North America for moose spotting. Upon arriving at camp, the group is introduced to their home with a short tent setup demo, after which there's plenty of time to enjoy the sun & the crisp, refreshing water. We recommend a game of beach bocce ball with our regulation set. As a special treat, your chef (& guide) will have dinner prepared on your return. We end the night chatting around a group campfire, where we'll teach first-timers how to make world famous S'mores!
