Lake Fever Wilderness Ontario Camping

    At Lake Fever, we thrive on planning “full-service” overnight nature experiences for our guests, meaning stress-free, fun adventures where no guest preparation is needed

    Lake Fever Wilderness Ontario Camping - Vegan-friendly 

    Lake Fever tours turn Ontario into your very own playground for camping, hiking, swimming, and paddling fun. Stand tall at the edge of the world, ride the rapids in an inner tube, cycle a historic former railway line, or discover sunken shipwrecks aboard a glass bottom boat - the choice is yours to make.

    At Lake Fever, we thrive on planning “full-service” overnight nature experiences for our guests, meaning stress-free, fun adventures where no guest preparation is needed (no equipment, not even a sleeping bag/pad, or pillow). Just pack a bag and go! Budget travellers can enjoy free transportation from Toronto, camp-cooked meals, and good old fashioned campfires - all while the first-timers in the group learn the basics of camping. Rest easy in the hands of your Toronto camping experts, and cross the great Canadian road trip off your bucket list. Who knows, it may be your once-in-a-lifetime experience.
