Campsites are bare-bones, no frills camping. Many provide a tenting area, pit toilets and food caches. Some provide huts and cabins. All supplies are packed in and must be packed out leaving no trace behind. Most of the wilderness Canada campgrounds are located in remote national and provincial parks. Paid and free admission for wilderness camping.
Canada Recreation Campsites
