For instance, I live not too far from the Pinery Pro. Park. If you have not visited there, it is worth the trip. Beautiful golden sand beaches, trails for walking and biking or skiing and snow-shoeing, a good intrepretive centre and store. Also a restaurant, many camping sites, both electrical and rustic. All areas have good washrooms and laundry facilities. Great wild life viewing opportunities, birding and fishing. The sunsets from a beach in the Pinery is matchless!
O.K. Now it's your turn ------------

Mare29, you are not too far from Point Pelee Provincail Park. Although you can't camp at Point Pelee, it is a wonderful day use park. Starting at this time of year the interpetive centre there has all kinds of educational and fun things to do. There are some swimming beaches at P.P. but you have to be careful re. the currents, but the wardens are always helpful with information. If you have young children or g-children, the boardwalk and canoe area is always interesting. They also have a snackbar in that area. Check it out.
Londen, I camped in Algonquin Park 3 years ago. I just stopped there on my way to another place and they gave me a spot. I was on the motorcycle so had just a tent to put up so I did not need any specific requirements. It is a lovely area.
Don't forget about the Pinery, it's not far away and it has very good camping.

Yes, I've been there quite a few times but it is a bit of a drive. I thought you meant in or around town.

You can hear the wolves at certain times, there is even a wolf listening crowd that gathers near algonguin park to listen to thier sounds, the moose graze, the bears graze, the beavers play in teams, drive up and camp that is cool, or portage in a while and becareful to put your food up in the trees so the bears dont go after it, racoons will scavage the campsites, the stars are so close you can almost touch them, the only sounds will be the cracking of a branch as an animal, as all kinds of animals move around at night, maybe you will hear the call of a moose echo across the early misty lake, or see chipmunks play tag amoungst the brush. fishing for dinner, watching the loons, bathing in a stream or a lake, cooking over a fire, even in the rain, rising to fresh air and clear minds, selecting your spot for toiletries... just liek other animals. being conscious of your garbage disposal, hiking for the sake of hiking and spotting the signs of nature, moose trails, deer trails, the difference between moose poop and bear poop. oh, hearing that warning from a bear who is telling you he is there, .... go the other way. never wanting to leave, ever. and always wanting to go back when you do. nothing like the smell of morning, of earth, of the water.... love our creator, love his creation all so awesome
