Camping around Toronto, Ontario for the new year weekend
I live in Toronto by the lakeshore. I had a long yearning to spend new years eve by myself out in the middle of nowhere, under the stars, in a tent. Now I have 3 days off - 31st Dec, 1st Jan and 2nd Jan.
Where can I go for a nice solo camping trip? Not too difficult since my camping level is beginner. All I plan to do is hike a bit and basically stay inside and read or something. No fishing/hunting/skiing.
Because of the weather, maybe living in a tent is not a good idea, so any small private lodges (cheap) are a welcome option too. I just don't want to end up sitting in my condo and going out to a pub to celebrate 31st.

If you are looking for something that is a bit more outdoorsy than a 'private lodge', then may I suggest a yurt? These are wooden huts, usually designed for six or eight and with a stove, perfectly suited to winter camping. There are yurts at Mew Lake campground in Algonquin Park, The Pinery on Lake Huron, and Killarney - all several hours from Toronto.
All of these places have real winter camping as well.

I used to live in a town called Penetanguishene, Ontario. This is about 1 hour and 45 minutes away from toronto. There; There is a beautiful, easy going, campground called Awenda Provincial Park. It's a great place to go camping by yourself. The link below is where it is on google maps.
Also, if you want an even more beautiful place, thats away from everything, (if you have your own boat or canoe, or willing to rent one) there is an amazing place to camp called Massasauga Provincial Park. It's about an hour north of Penetanguishene The most amazing times I have ever gone camping were here. The link below is where it is on google maps.
