Group Camping at Killbear

Please note the only way to register for this adventure is on our website.

Join us for a fall camping trip at the famous Killbear Provincial Park!

We're spending one night during peak fall colours at Killbear's group sites, tucked into the pines a short walk from Georgian Bay's beaches. This site offers all of the conveniences of front country camping. It's a good entry point if you've never spent a night outside the city, and a good reset if you have.

Day one will include a short hike along the beach in Parry Sound, arrival at camp, camp setup and exploration. Once tents are up and the site is sorted, the afternoon is easy: a walk down to the beach to take in the shoreline, a few camp skills to pick up around the site, and time to just hang out before dinner. As the sun starts to drop, and if the weather smiles down upon us, we will head to Sunset Rock together, where Killbear's famous windswept pine has been holding its ground on bare granite for decades. It's one of the most photographed sunsets on the peninsula, and it's even better in person.

Day two starts with the Lookout Point Trail, a moderate ~6km climb through hardwood forest of ash, beech, oak, and maple to a granite lookout with sweeping views across the Bay's 30,000 Islands.From there it's back to camp to pack up and head back to Toronto.

You'll leave with sand in your shoes and a crew you didn't have two days ago.

About Wilderness Union
Wilderness Union is deliberate about building an outdoors community that connects you to the life-changing magic of the outdoors and helps you find your people.

Members range from 20-40 years old. The group is a mix of GTA locals and newcomers to Toronto from within Canada and abroad.

Attendance numbers on Meetup don't reflect our actual event attendance - we typically have 15-20 community members at each event. Large enough that there's someone new to meet but small enough that it's not overwhelming!
