4.0 out of 5 stars
Very informitive book,
This review is from: A Camper's Guide to Ontario's Best Parks (Paperback)
This book is a must if you are planning a trip to any of Ontario's Provincial Parks! It is well organized into regions with a map of each region. It gives honest opinions about the what the park has or doesn't have to offer. There are ratings on Natural Environment, Activities, and Camping conditions that will give you a quick overview of any park. If you like private, quiet campsites, she recommends specific site numbers at each park along with a good description of the campground as a whole. For each park she describes what it's renowned for, natural environment, wildlife, activities, campgrounds, history, etc., and gives a concise summary. The only thing I would add is a map of the campgrounds or the individual parks. This is a must have!
