EDMONTON — Some outdoorsy Canadians are planning to build their tents with elbows up this summer as the season unofficially kicks off this long weekend.
That’s a very interesting idea. I camped on crown land (hike in) as a teen, but havn’t since then. I do both inland camping by canoe, and trailer camping on serviced sites. I hadn’t thought of boondocking on crown land - that is just a combination I didn’t realize was possible in Ontario (I know it’s common out west where you have open land). I guess it makes sense. I think it would definitely take some careful scouting to find places safe and well-graded enough to pull a camper trailer into.
I would do it, but I still think we need more serviced provincial parks because that’s what a lot of people are comfortable with, and with our land, why the hell not?
