Ontario Crown Land

According to the regulations found here, we can camp anywhere on most crown land for 21 days at a stretch before moving to another location. Another location is defined as somewhere not less than 100m away. So, we may have to shuffle 100m every three weeks.
Crown Lands
In Ontario, travel for recreational purposes on Crown landsand waters is generally free and unrestricted. Generally, camping is allowed free on Crown lands up to 21 days at one site (to qualify as a separate site which can be occupied for an additional 21 days, a second camp site must be at least 100 metres from the first location by that camper) or unless otherwise posted under the Public Lands Act. However, some Crown lands may have restricted-travel zones for forest fire prevention, officially closed forest-access roads or specific areas posted with signs to prohibit all or certain kinds of uses or travel. Some Crown lands may also be posted against hunting and possession of firearms to protect forest workers or other resource users. Contact the local MNR office for the area in which you wish to hunt for further information.
