Last Trip of 2019 - Parks of the St Lawrence - Upper Canada Bird Sanctuary

We were up early and hit the road for our last camping trip of 2019.  We headed east down the 401 to Ingleside to the Parks of the St Lawrence Upper Canada Bird Sanctuary Campground.

This was the last weekend the park was open but it filled up fast come Friday night.  Our mission for this last camping weekend was some epic bass fishing for Pete and I was pumped to head to the Pumpkin Inferno at  Upper Canada Village.

The weather was certainly fall like.  For a couple days prior to arriving it had rained - massive puddles greeted us a we turned into the campground - fortunately our site was dry.  We were fortunate in having one of the few sites there with full hook ups.

We headed out Friday night for the late entrance for Pumpkin Inferno - so worth going too...you must pre buy your tickets and be prepared for crowds, but the later entrance in is the better time to go ..less people than the early one.  So incredible to see so many pumpkins in different designs.

The night was chilly (a toque and mitten one) so we decided to forgo a fire and watch a movie with the furnace on!

Am came early and Pete had a friend come and join him for a early am fish on the St Lawrence while Fenwick and I waited till the sun warmed things up and went on a 5km hike through the park.

The Parks of the St Lawrence don't offer as private of sites as some of the Ontario Parks but have some different features and things to do.

Fishing wasn't successful and the guys were of the water early afternoon so we  toured around town and then came back to enjoy the last camping meal of 2019 and a campfire where we were starting to plan our 2020 camping adventures!
