Algonquin vs Arrowhead? hmm...

The nice part of staying in Arrowhead, you can easily take a day trip into Algonquin (45 minutes away) and your Arrowhead pass lets you into all other provincial parks so there's no extra cost.
There are lots of other options as you make your way through... you may want to take Hwy 69 route and check out Killbear, Killarney or Grundy along that route.  Absolutely beautiful parks as well! 

Wow! Now you have me looking deeper into that area. It's just loaded with Provincials' or Conservation Land. 

What's the deal with the conservation land? Is it Queensland? Can you camp on it? 

Well worth checking out... Ontario's provincial parks all follow the same mode; electrical sites, no running water, good comfort stations and a main dumping station.  They are well used, but there are usually some non-reservable sites.  The further north you go, the easier it is to get a site!

As far as conservation areas, those are simply local municipalities "park land".  They are similar to provincial parks but typically not as well funded.   They are usually a result of water conservation measures (dams, reservoirs, rivers, etc).  Most have seasonal camping where people are using their trailer as a "summer cottage" and you might get a few sites that are travel sites... 

Hope that helps

My wife and I are headed to a family reunion in the southern Colorado Rockies in July. I haven't seen two of my three brothers and families in 10 years (we visited by other brother on our previous Colorado trip) and we'll have three generations (at least) there. This will be our second trip to Colorado with our 179.]]> Mon, 09 Mar 2020 12:06:49 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13393&PID=129768#129768 Upcoming planned trips!

If you like Civil War history also try Antietam Battlefield (Sharpsburg MD) and Harpers Ferry, in the same general area. The Appalachian Trail goes through Harpers Ferry and the C&O canal towpath is right across the river in MD and makes a great (level) bike ride. And, if you do want to spend a day in DC without having to drive in and mess with the traffic, you can take the MARC commuter train either from Frederick MD or Harper's Ferry WV. ]]> Mon, 09 Mar 2020 07:50:58 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13393&PID=129760#129760 Upcoming planned trips!

I came back that way from New Mexico, wanted to see Gettysburg. I guess I just forgot about how much history there is in the region.. As we drove up through I kept saying; "We need to come back here."

Sounds like a great run!

Well now.. just south west of Algonquin Provincial. It's just that small that it didn't show up until I zoomed way in! I like that!

I drive through that area as we go to my Sisters in SD (I love the run through Canada). I was looking to stay Algonquin next time through. Have you been there as well?

I've been getting ours ready to leave Monday for a visit to Florida to see my parents and (hopefully) my uncle who has cancer and is pretty bad off. Mom recently had another stroke, so this visit will be good. I'll be able to test things like the new LiFePO4 battery and the recently completed furnace diverter. I'm not sure if I will have a chance to really test the solar project (also just completed) since we will have one night on the road each way and won't be sitting during the day. Once we get there, we have reservations at Happy Days RV Park in Zephyrhills. We have stayed there before and it is nice. Good Sam members get a discount. ]]> Sat, 07 Mar 2020 18:19:16 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13393&PID=129717#129717 Upcoming planned trips!

Not necessarily bombed. Traffic here has been a bit slow of late. I have been working on our RPod to get it ready for an anticipated long trip to Alaska. Most likely, we will leave here around mid-May and get back here by the end of June. It will be a lot of miles in a short period, but it will take us through what I anticipate to be some really awesome landscapes.]]> Sun, 16 Feb 2020 15:10:07 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13393&PID=129325#129325 Upcoming planned trips!

One of the things that keeps 'me' on a site is trips planned and in progress!

It's the off-season for most of us and planning the next adventure.

I know where I'm headed for next season... Do you all? How about sharing destinations? Then we can contact like and talk about how..

I know, another silly thread about camping...
