  Shannan S. asked:

  Need some help please : my son is going to whitefish group camping with his scout troop. He has autism /ADHD and anxiety disorders. Because of this I have to camp at Algonquin. I have never camped there before. Can anyone recommend a site in pog or another area close by? I have a 10' tent trailer so electric site is needed. We also have kayaks and smaller children so closer to comfort station would be great. Also how are the vault toilets? Stinky? Lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance :)

  

  Carl S. replied:

  Shannan, Whitefish is a great camping location and is safe. Bathrooms in the Park is very good - actually excellently maintained. POG is closeby so no need to worry. There are showers and they are well maintained as well. http://www.algonquinpark.on.ca/.../pog-lake-campground.php

  IP Z. asked:

  Hi. I was thinking of an early spring weekend backpacking trip around Provoking. Probably in two to three weeks from now. I'm usually a fair season backpacker but I just can't wait this year... Anyone here have ideas how may people are backpacking around that time of year? I rarely run into people while in the park during its regular season, so the question is probably a little pointless... Also, any recommendations for areas to camp, since I understand designated sites are off limits off season. Thanks

  Shannon S. asked:

  Hello friends! I am a new member to this FB site but a life long member to the large community of Algonquin Park lovers. I have a question....My husband and I are wanting to go on a canoe trip for 5 days. We are wanting advice and ideas on where to go from HWY 60. Where are nice paddle up sites? Privacy? Portage routes? We are both enthusiasts and experienced, but over the years with kids we have had a few years of not venturing far. lol Any ideas or thoughts we would greatly appreciate. If you could private message me. Thanks :)

  

  The P. replied:

  Shannon Stevens - Algonquin Park backcountry travel varies a great deal with experience level, time of the year, your interests, etc., so it is hard to give generalizations. Give the experts at Park Information a phone call (705 633 5572) and they can assist in planning a custom developed backcountry trip just for you. Don't forget to have the official Algonquin Park Canoe Routes Map available (http://www.algonquinpark.on.ca/virtual/canoe_routes_map/index.php) so you can discuss various trip options. Enjoy your trip!
