Camping at Murphys Point Provincial Park

Murphys Point Provincial Park is about 3 hours from Toronto, located 20 minutes south of Perth, Ontario on Big Rideau Lake. This is part of the historic Rideau Waterway. As we spent 3 days and 2 nights at this park, we really enjoyed the camping site and the many hiking trails.

Learning to Camp graduate program at Sibbald Point

Camping is a lot of fun because it breaks our everyday routine. However, if you haven't gone camping before it can be intimidating! We became comfortable with car camping and investing in camping gear only after our session with Ontario Parks Learn to Camp few years ago. Since then we have gone on numerous camping trips at different Ontario Parks to enjoy the beauty of nature and to connect with each other.

Camping Road Trip in the Hyundai Santa Fe to explore Point Pelee

We love the spacious comfort of the 2017 Santa Fe Sport 2.4 SE AWD, which made our camping road trip to Pelee Island and the Point Pelee National Park a memorable experience. We were able to load all our camping gear and everything else we needed for the road trip. 

Essential MSR Camping Cooking and Eating Tools

When we go on road trips and camping, we find having convenient tools are a big help along the way. The variety of functional, compact MSR Gear cookware are easier to take along because they do not take up space. MSR Gear cookware are available at camping and outdoor gear stores in Canada and USA and are useful for all types of outdoor adventures. 

Carefree Camping at the KOA Deluxe Cabin

We loved our two-night weekend stay at the Toronto West KOA in Campbellville, Ontario. There are more than 485 Kampgrounds of America (KOA) locations in the U.S.A. and Canada since founder Dave Drum constructed a campground on the banks of Yellowstone River in Billings, Montana in 1962. The campgrounds are conveniently located close to the highways and byways so we can stay overnight and relax during road trips without detouring before proceeding with long journeys. 

Must Have Travel Products For Our Outdoor Adventures

This iPod or iPhone 5 sleek E-Case with access to the headphone jack allowed me to experience complete functionality even when it was raining outside because of its waterproof protection. The waterproof SealLock zipper guarantees protection from all the elements. This e-case allows the phone to withstand for 30 minutes when it is submersed into 1 meter of water.

Learning to Camp with Ontario Parks

Camping is a fun getaway to do with the family and take a break from life’s stress and pace. My family and I loved experiencing the fun Learn to Camp program hosted by Ontario Parks. We got to know about this program through a community information session that Ontario Parks hosted. We learned everything we need to know about camping without harming the environment. Camping with knowledge encourages us to do this recreational activity more often, and learn to relax in nature and appreciate it more. 

Win Passes and Visit Santa @SantasVillageON This Summer

We had the pleasure of spending time at Santa's Village last summer, which everyone in my family enjoyed. I am excited this year to partner with Santa's Village and host a giveaway so you can visit Santa's Village with your family and enjoy everything they offer.

Our Stay at Santa's Whispering Pines Campground Cabin

When we went to Santa's Village, we decided to stay over one night at Santa's Whispering Pines Campground so we didn't have to drive back on the same day. This being our first overnight camping trip with the kids, we were very excited. Santa's Whispering Pines Campground has been voted to be the Best Campground in Muskoka for the last two years, so we knew we were going to be in good hands. Except for a few mosquito bites, thank God everything was smooth and we loved our experience.

An Easy Meal We Made During Our Camping Trip

When we went on our camping trip we made hotdog buns and other goodies for a meal. This delicious hotdog bun was fun and easy to make.
