Boondocking in Canada

[ramboj]

Hi to everyone here. My wife and I have been travelling quite a bit in the states as she is American and we visit relatives quite often along interstate 80 on our way west. We have enjoyed overnight stops at Flying J, WalMarts, and the odd rest stops in the wee hours of the morning for a sleep as the truckers are on their way out.
As we live here in Southwestern Ontario... Is there any places where you can catch some sleep on the Trans Canada Highway or the 401 corridor while travelling long distance in Canada? Seems the states are so much ahead of us when it comes to having cheaper stop-overs when you just want to catch sleep and NOT be paying the high prices for pools/ hut tubs and some of the other overhead costs associated with parks.
Thanks for taking time to read and reply in advance... John :p

I can't tell you where you are but from the Peace Bridge at Buffalo NY to the QEW to 401 to Montreal, you will find rest stops, Walmarts, etc.. If you have a GPS, it will show Walmarts, Home Depots etc..

John we used to travel via motorbikes and I towed a camper. Last year we were in British Columbia as well as in Alberta and we saw several places were
overnighting would be possible. I have friends in Ontario and traveled through that area east and saw plenty of rest stops as well, weather it is legal or not to overnight in rest areas I don't know that you would have to check with the province I don't live in Canada so I don't know the rules, but I would suspect if you see a trucker pulled over in a rest area or an on ramp i would imagine it's OK. But getting old so we bought a Toy hauler so we can haul our bikes most of the time, specially during hot weather.Good luck and enjoy your travels both our countries are beautiful and everyone should travel, but i'm glad they don't as it would get a bit crowded. The fuel prices also deter a lot of long distance travel at the moment.
