We Camped at Wildwood Conservation Area in a Backcountry Site!

Are you new to backcountry camping? Never done it but would like to give it a whirl? I suggest trying out a local conservation area or provincial park that offers backcountry campsites. Wildwood Conservation Area near St.Mary's, Ontario has a few paddle-in sites (also accessible by hiking trails) where you can get your feet wet and get the feel for the backcountry experience. I recommend going for two nights to start, and see if this is something you'd really enjoy doing on a larger scale. I was planning on doing a solo backcountry experience here but my daughter wanted to join me on this little overnight excursion. This was her first time canoeing to a site and camping out in the woods. I visited Wildwood back in October of 2021 and had already checked out site 501. A very nice site surrounded by a dense maple forest. Hard to believe there are farmer's fields that are not so far over the hill from the site. This video gives you a glimpse of our short time on the site. For more seasoned backcountry campers, I know this isn't "real" backcountry, but it's a decent starting point for many that have never had that experience. I highly recommend visiting Wildwood Conservation Area for your first time! Thanks for watching and safe paddling! #wildwoodconservation #hiddenGems #naturelovers #exploreontario #canadianwildlife #discoverontario #getoutside #hikingadventures #naturephotography #conservationarea #ontariotourism #wanderlust #outdooradventures #scenicviews #hikingtrails #travelontario #wildernessculture #conservationism #ecotourism #explorecanada
