We were at the Toronto Spring Camping & RV Show and Sale this past weekend. It ran from February 27th to March 2nd, 2025. We checked out a lot of new RVs, gear and services. It was exhausting. We held a meet & greet at the Lifestyle Magazine booth from Friday to Sunday and met so many wonderful people. There was a great turnout for our seminar "What we wish we knew when we first started RVing." A big thank you to all our camping friends and supporters who stopped by to say hi. We really appreciate all the kind words and support. Check out the video here: https://youtu.be/4YW6OGlwI6Y

We visited Bruce Peninsula National Park from October 18th to the 21st, 2024. This is an amazing and scenic National Park in Southern Ontario near Tobermory. We checked out the park including Indian Head Cove, the Grotto, Singing Sands and the Visitor Centre. We also explored Little Tub Harbour in Tobermory. This is the last park review video of Season 6 and it was a great way to close out the season.

We camped at Sharbot Lake Provincial Park from September 6th to the 8th, 2024. This is a nice park that they've done a lot of upgrades on recently. There are many beautiful waterfront sites on Black Lake and Sharbot Lake with excellent paddling on both lakes. Along with exploring the campground we checked out the town of Sharbot Lake. We had a great time here. It's worth checking out.

We camped at Silver Lake Provincial Park from September 2nd to the 5th, 2024. This park is along Hwy 7 near Perth, between Kingston and Ottawa. The labour day weekend had just ended, so we got to enjoy a very quiet park. We paddled on Silver Lake and Ben tested out a kayak that fit him and Jax together. We visited a brewery and distillery in Perth and enjoyed some down time at the park.
