Deluxe Food-Only Outfitting

For those who have their camping gear, this package provides all the food needed for an Algonquin Park canoe trip. People who have gear for backpacking, for example, can simply book a food-only package and rent a canoe. This food package is also ideal for long canoe trips where food preservation is essential or for those first-time trippers who aren’t sure what food they should pack for an Algonquin Park backcountry canoe trip.

Deluxe Food-Only Outfitting consists of high-quality camping foods packaged to meet the requirements of the Algonquin Park food container rules. In general, the meals will weigh under 500 grams (about one pound) per person per day. All menu plans offer fresh food items for the first few days, varying with your selections and seasonal availability. You’ll find our menu items are easy to prepare, with instructions provided where necessary. Typically, the outfitting menu provides meals from lunch on the first day of your trip to lunch on the last day. Outfitting groups using the tent cabins or campsites at our Oxtongue Lake location for the night preceding their trip can request a continental breakfast on their first morning.

If you need to rent a canoe or some camping gear but don’t need our full equipment package, you can simply add the items you need to your Deluxe Food-Only Outfitting reservation! You can see the options available and their rates by visiting our Rentals section on the website

More about Canoe Trip Planning

Algonquin Outfitters has produced a handy canoe trip planning guide that will make your vacation planning a little easier. The guide is primarily intended as an aid for those using our outfitting services, especially first-time visitors to Algonquin Park, youth group leaders and complete outfitting customers. (see our full Canoe Trip Planning Guide here)

Route Planning Tips

We recommend making camping permit reservations with the Ontario Parks reservation service before making outfitting reservations. You can make a reservation up to five months ahead of your trip start date. Reservations for Algonquin Park interior trips can be made by calling toll free: 1-888-668-7275 (outside of North America: 1-519-826-5290). Interior camping reservations can also be made online: https://reservations.ontarioparks.com/

To reserve a camping permit, you will need to know what access point you are starting at and the names of the lakes you intend to camp on each night of your trip. To check campsite availability in advance of making a reservation or get route advice, call the Algonquin Park information line at 1-705-633-5572. We can also assist you with the route planning and reservation process – please call for details, with a map handy.

What is a “tent cabin?”

We offer rustic overnight tent cabins and camping facilities for our canoe trip outfitting customers only at our Oxtongue Lake base. The tent cabins are large canvas wall tents with cots inside. Each one sleeps up to five people. We have six tent cabins and showers and washrooms are available. Reservations are required. This accommodation is handy if you decide to drive up to the area the day before your trip starts. We can also send a list of other local accommodation options if you are interested. Please note that other than paddling to a campsite on Lake Opeongo, there is no overnight accommodation at our Opeongo Store.
