Under the Stars and Into the Wild: Camping Comes Alive at the Toronto Sportsmen’s Show

For those who believe the best stories begin where the pavement ends, the Camping Area at the Toronto Sportsmen’s Show offers a gateway to adventure. Whether you're a seasoned backcountry explorer or a family planning your first weekend under the stars, this newly expanded zone brings the full spectrum of camping life to the heart of the show. 

From the moment you step into the space, the scent of pine and the glow of lantern light set the tone. Visitors can explore a wide range of camping gear—from portable stoves and rugged coolers to all-weather tents and sleeping bags designed for Canadian nights. The latest innovations in outdoor living are on full display, making it easier than ever to embrace the wild with comfort and confidence. 

Beyond the gear, the Camping Area is a place to learn and connect. Experts offer tips on campsite setup, fire safety, and meal planning, while interactive displays let visitors test equipment and explore new technologies. Families can gather around mock campfires, kids can try hands-on activities, and newcomers can discover how simple it is to start their own camping journey. 

The area also highlights Ontario’s vast network of parks and campgrounds, with representatives from provincial and private sites sharing maps, booking tips, and hidden gems. Whether you're looking for a quiet lakeside retreat or a trailhead to adventure, the Camping Area helps you plan your next escape with confidence. 

In a world that moves fast, camping reminds us to slow down, breathe deep, and reconnect—with nature, with each other, and with ourselves. At the Toronto Sportsmen’s Show, that spirit is alive and well, waiting to be discovered one tent peg at a time.
