My father took us camping every summer for 4-5 week every summer for as long as I can remember up to the age when I was 15.
Since then I camped at a few sites in my early 20's, but since that time it was always in a private spot in the bush.
Not much privacy in most campgrounds, some are more crowded than than the city - and everybody parties outside.
So - put a slide in camper on my 4x4 21 years ago, would pick a route, and en route would buy what they call topographical maps.
These maps are from aerial photographs, show roads, elevation lakes rivers and so on.
On these maps I noticed dotted lines cutting off main roads, and they were called "cart trails" - but in reality they were roads previously visible from above, but grown over so no longer visible from the air.
I would select a "cart trail" that passed close to either a river or a lake
And I discovered some beautiful private spots!
I have a distinct advantage, living in bush country in Northern Ontario.
Most of these trails are old logging roads on crown land from years gone by - rarely used.
When I go camping I don't want to be listening to someone else's music/partying/fighting/ whatever.
One summer, I went for 10 weeks without returning home to my tiny apartment.
It was GREAT!
Oh - here's one of my favorite spots - only an hour away from where I live.
That's my camper way back up above the river
Below, is a pic from above - same spot.
And in the evening . . .
That's camping . . . .
