Located in the heart of the GTA, Bronte Creek Provincial Park is located on the western border of Oakville, Ontario, bordering the nearby city of Burlington. This 6.4 square-kilometre park packs a punch in terms of amenities including a children’s farm, turn of the century house/museum with costumed interpreters, over 10km in woodland and ravine hiking trails and one of Canada’s biggest pools. There is an abundance of scheduled programming (though some are interrupted in 2020, due to covid-19) but Bronte Creek Provincial Park remains an oasis in the city as well as the perfect home base when visiting Toronto or Niagara Falls both within an easy hour by car.

This episode is short, sweet, and super important because it all revolves around a piece of listener mail we received asking if someone who was not mechanically inclined could even join the RV community.

Our answer is a resounding YES!! The RV community is a great bunch of folks who are ALL former newbies and we want the best for everyone who wants to give this lifestyle a try.

In this episode, we'll go through why you can still have fulfilling RV adventures even if you don't know your way around a fuse panel, a black water tank or a propane system.

Group camping with friends or family can be such a rewarding experience and can build memories and relationships that last a lifetime...or they can go horribly wrong, and cause hurt feelings and vows to NEVER do that again.

In an effort to promote the former, we've rounded up all the little tips we've collected over the years on how to successfully road trip and camp with a large group of people while respecting boundaries and having fun.

Today we’re diving into a park review which will hopefully be of interest to both our Canadian and American listeners – because we’re reviewing the KOA Holiday Niagara Falls in - you guessed it – Niagara Falls Canada!

Since landing a reservation at State, National and Provincial Parks is proving very difficult this year with increased demand for camping, we thought we should review some private parks that have proven to exceed our expectations both as base camps for day exploring, and as places to stay in their own right.

If you are interested in trying to land a reservation at an Ontario Park this year, Melina created a short YouTube Video to give you the best chance. Go check it out.

And, be sure to check out Episode 11 of the podcast where we review the difference between campgrounds and RV resorts and let you know our opinion on whether the latter is worth the extra fees.
