Hi: My scout (actually venturer) troop is planning a summer kayaking trip in Georgian Bay. The goal is to go all the way down the eastern shore of Georgian Bay. Does anyone have good suggestions for camping spots on the way? Peter F.

The north end is good, but the number of cottages and private land increases to the south. There are lots of spots to camp - any Crown land is a potential camping area. Just avoid the First Nations reserves and obvious private land. The topo maps and the small craft charts are both good references. If you go as far south as The Massassauga Prov Park and Georgian Bay National Park, you'll need to have made reservations in advance or paddle in to book a site on the day you arrive (the latter is not a good plan in peak summer).

Peter: The massassaga provincial park near parry sound has excellent kayaking and canoe camping spots. There are two access points. Information regarding this park is obtained through the Oastler lake park office. The Pete's Place access point has access to Georgian bay without any portages. White squall is a kayak outfitter in parry sound, and has gear and further information. The honey harbour area (beausoleil island) is nice but has a great amount of power boat traffic. Hope this of some help. Also, swift canoe in waubaushene also rents kayaks. Good luck. Let me know if I can help with more information as I live in the area. Bart J.

Peter Don't know much about Georgian Bay itself but there are multiple beautiful and protected islands for camping just off the mouth of the Key River. We spent a glorious week there last summer.
