I personally have never been to a provincial park that did not allow bikes.
I'm hoping to do Algonquin park this summer - or spring if the weather allows. More for the ride than the camping, but if I can I'll stay for a couple of nights riding the fire roads if I can find them. At the very least I'll camp for a night at Opeongo.
I know the area well from years of tripping so now its all about my bike.

I wanted to go to summerfest, never been before, but ended up camping with some friends.
I am really happy with how much my adv panniers give me, compared to the GS vario panniers. I had my tent, sleeping roll attached to my rear seat. Left pannier had my rain gear, 2 sleeping bags and a pillow. That left the right pannier virtually empty save for one change of cloths, meds, and beer with room to spare.
two mentions of this tent and no names!
can someone let me know the make?
and i wasnt expecting $500...haha
Any suggestions for starter tent $200 or less. 3 Person. To fit on top of tailbag/side bags.
Sport tourning rig...not packing heavy. very basic camping.
I just want to be dry and have enough room for fun in the tent
I have talked to a few people and this is apparently a good tent for the money. http://www.mec.ca/AST/ShopMEC/Tents/3SeasonTents/4Person/PRD~5027-696/mec-camper-4-tent.jsp

Check out the Eureka El Capitan 3 - 3 person, very good tent - bought from Lebaron for well under $200.
I second that!

I'll third that. I have a Eureka 3 man that's perfect for myself and two kids. It's a little bulky and heavy and I'd rather have metal poles than fiberglass but it lasts a long time. Mine even fell off the back of my bike a few years ago, I did some repairs to the floor and she's water tight again.
I picked up a Wanderer 2 from Mec for $250 and use a $5 tarp for the footprint. The tent is a little heavy, but I didn't cause any issues on the bike. It packed into my dry bag with my sleeping bag, sleeping pad and 2 blue tarps. I figured I had spent about $400 on cheap tents in my life and they all failed. The best bet is to buy the best you can afford and it will be with you for life. The Wanderer is more then enough room for 2 people with lot of room under the fly for boots and bags.
