Ontario is full of incredible camping spots. Aside from the obvious choices like Algonquin and Bruce Peninsula, there are some destinations that are considered hidden gem campsites in Ontario.
Scouts Canada interviewed 46,704 members to find out which campsites are worth the hype and the lesser-known spots that are equally as incredible.
When it comes to hidden gems, the Scouters that were surveyed named Bon Echo Provincial Park as the best in the province.
