Long weekend camping question

[icefisherman]

I know I am a bit late but am hoping someone could suggest something useful.

I want to take my wife and 2 year old son for couple days camping over this coming long weekend. I'd like to fish Lake Simcoe and instead of traveling 2-3 times back and forth round trips it'll be nice to set up the tent and stay there, launch the boat, fish, relax etc. This way I could save on the gas cost.

Called Sibbald Park...full...called few cabins/motels...everyone wants $100+/night.

Is there not a crown land in the area I could just go and set up my tent for free? Doesn't have to be right on the lake...it's fine in the close proximity.

Might be to naive but who knows...it's worth asking.

Appreciate any and all ideas.

 

Cheers,

Mara and McRae P.P. have sites available still. Might be hard pressed to find crown land around those parts, others may chime in though.

Yes I just saw McRae P.P. has few open spots but they are too far from Jacksons Point/fishing action. It'll be quite a drive by car or by boat to get there daily.

Hope to find something closer.

Thanks.

This place is about 10 minutes from me - never stayed there, but the park looks ok. You'd be about 30 min from Sibbald.
