Sleeping in a tent, sitting around a campfire, swimming, canoeing, hiking. All makings of the good old-fashioned camping vacations I enjoyed regularly as a child. But with three young kids and a canine in tow, the lure of being able to step into civilization when need arises was something I wanted to check out.

We decided to introduce our third generation of campers — six-month-old Jadzia, two-and a half-year-old William and nine-year-old Hunter — to two nights at a full-service KOA site, followed by four at the more traditional Algonquin Park a week later. Read on for how our experiences play out.
