When I was in my late teens/early twenties, I used to camp and canoe trip in Algonquin a lot. Even then I found the park to be on the crowded side, today I'd image it would be by reservation only. Even though I enjoyed Algonquin a lot, I can think of a lot of other places to go that are less crowded and more affordable to spend my time at. In my opinion, Algonquin has become a zoo. When I plan to go camping or take a canoe trip, I'd rather spend my time in a more relaxed environment otherwise I'd feel like I'm still in the city..
