Where is a good place for camping?
Jake
I want to know of a good place for camping perferably not too cold or hot, with lots of trees and maybe even some mountains. It needs to have some sort of fresh water supply such as a giant fresh water lake or waterfall, and the wildlife must not be too dangerous, like venomous snakes and wolves everywhere is a no no. And the location of the place shouldn't be too far, I live in Toronto, Ontario - Canada. nowhere further than the USA please. I'm planning on staying probably for a while ( maybe a few months) so there should be edible vegetation, fish, or animals in the location.
Like, for reference, a place similar to the place where Yogi bear lives, for those of you who know, and if you don't, then google it.
I believe such a place does exist? cuz saying it doesn't is like saying bears are extinct, bears need forestry, food(fish) and fresh water to drink, does that not sound like the place I was describing?????
Answer
No such place exists anymore, as for campgrounds http://woodalls.com/ lists all that there is
