Does anyone know if it's legal to still camp on public and crown land in Ontario because of covid-19? I read awhile ago in March it was gonna be banned for abit, but I'm seeing online that public campgrounds/RV parking lots are still gonna rent it out to the public? I would like to do some camping with a tent on Ontario crown land? Do some backpacking, swimming in the lakes, berry-picking, fishing, get my man to teach me how to hunt little animals of course like rabbits, etc if that's legal of course. He's Ojibway and a good hunter, I'm Metis, and polish. I'm really hunting we can do begining. month of June. Thanx 😄 People.

So far the news isn't great. It seems like regular campsites in Ontario might reopen for overnight stays, but Crown land is still closed as far as i can gather. My friends in Ontario are still hunkering down at home with a good supply of beer in the fridge.

Here is the official roadmap to reopen, although it doesn't mention Crown land specifically: Ontario Newsroom - https://news.ontario.ca/en/backgrounder/1000159/roadmap-to-reopen

CBC did an article on Sudbury area situation yesterday: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sudbury/may-long-weekend-northern-ontario-covid-19-1.6032491

All we can do at the moment is wait. Get vaccinated and try encourage friends and family to vaccinate too - the reopening in Ontario is hinging on 60% or 70% of province having gotten the shot.

Keep on eye on this site too, they seem to be updating a bit: COVID-19 at Ontario Parks - https://www.ontarioparks.com/covid19
