  • In this video we venture our on our second camping trip of the season and visit Emily Provincial Park in Omemee, Ontario. We stayed for 2 nights in our Clipper Cadet 16CFB in the Circle Campground on site 253. But we were there with some other couples and families, so I've also shared a quick look at sites 252, 254, 255, and 245.
    I hope you enjoy the tour of the park and get some inspiration for activities or things you can do while you're there!

    Very cool that you are getting used to camping! The more trips you take, the more you will become a pro. Good to know the trail is pretty accessible in most parts. But thanks for pointing which trails weren't accessible. Oh gosh, mosquitoes love me so good warning on that too. I love the beach area to watch the boats launch off.

    Wayne says to get an electric crank if ya can! 😀 "Polly Pocket", lol! Yay for ice cream! Wayne loves himself a breakfast sandwich; he makes them almost every day! It looks too pretty to be buggy, haha! Nice looking beach area. We wouldn't want to be that close or "open" to our neighbors unless we were with them, like y'all were 😇

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před rokem +1

      We think we will upgrade to an electric crank next year now that we've given the arm-strong one a good go 🤣 we don't need to do arm work outs if we go camping every weekend.

    This looks like such a peaceful spot to camp. You really had amazing weather for your time there. Handy that they had a store there and the boat rentals look like a great activity to take part in. Mmm your breakfast looked great! The brewery is a great day out - trying local beers, what more could you want? 😋

    • @TheAverageTourist

    I actually like your reviews..you ACTUALLY show the facilities...which is what I wanna see . Maybe some of the local attractions would be nice...breweries...restaurants other things. What I don't want to see is a long boring car ride..or what you are making for breakfast or supper ..if I wanted a cooking lesson I would go else where..I wanna see the park ..which is what you do...thank you

    I live pretty near here - there is a beautiful hike just 5 mins from the park (Emily Tract - just put it in GPS). It's about 45 mins, a good workout, and really, really pretty. Thanks for the park tour! I've been wanting to go and now I will for sure. :)

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před rokem +1

      Oh that's good to know - we will probably go back to Emily this summer so I'll add that to our things to do while we are there! It's a nice quiet park - not "wild camping" by any means, but there are some nice private sites.

    The provincial park looks really clean and peaceful. And glad that they have complete amenities for RV (water refilling, etc). I remember when we rented a campervan here in New Zealand, and you have to refill water too. But it was a fun experience. The toilet looks descent as well. I love the tour you gave us on the park, the place seems like a huge place as well. A good place to be with nature. I reckon the beach would be better on summer too.

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 2 lety

      It was a great park and definitely a nice one for families and kids. Refilling water is very essential - don't want to run out!

  • @campkayakadventures
    @campkayakadventures Před rokem

    I seen you guys struggling to get your water hose out. You need to toss that big hose and get a Zero G 25ft 1/2 diameter hose available on Amazon. It's just folds up you might see it on a few of my videos. Also when you pack your bulkheads put your water filter and hose in last for easy access when you arrive.
    It seems like we are doing a few of the same places this year, Grundy Lake, Lake St. Peter and I'm doing Emily this weekend. I still need to do Lake St. Peter, Bonnechere and Oastler Lake this year.

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před rokem

      That's a great tip, I'll definitely share that with my husband to check out on Amazon. We have had a few times where the hose just wasn't cooperating. And since then we've started to put the water filter in last to make it easier... we're still beginners 🤣. Hope you enjoy Emily and Lake St. Peter. We really enjoyed both parks.
      And I'd love to get to Oastler and Bonecchere... hopefully next summer!

    Is that a GMC Canyon you're towing with? If so how well does it do the job for a trailer that size?

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 4 měsíci

      Yes, it's a diesel and does great. With the trailer and truck fully loaded, it's only half of our payload and towing capacity. And we added after-market towing mirrors, which makes it even better for towing the trailer.

    • @jimdent351
      @jimdent351 Před 4 měsíci

      @@TheAverageTourist Thanks for the reply. If only I'd bought the diesel version your answer would have helped me out. We're looking at Emily Park for August. We usually take 3 camping trips per year but have never been to Emily before. Right now we're using a pop-up but considering something like your camper there or a little bigger. It's nice hearing testimonials so I thought I'd ask. I think the rated capacity of the gasoline Canyon is 7,500. Do you know the weight of your camper there? Thanks and happy camping

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Před 4 měsíci

      Our camper is ~2800 unloaded and ~3400 loaded. It's 18.5 feet bumper to hitch so pretty small.
