Are there hookups at Provencial Parks?
I have been trying to find out of there is electric hookups at the Provencial Campgrounds along the TransCanada Highway. There appear to be a great many places to stop overnight. We are going from NH...

We use the Ontario Provincial Parks quite often. I have 3, 25ft, 30A extension cables and had to use all of them on a couple of occasions. The power posts are situated between sites and the sites are generally separated by a 50 to 60ft green space, thus the need for extensions. If you are intending to travel along Highway 17, here are number campgrounds that I would recommend for consideration. From east to west, Samuel De Champlain PP, about 5 miles west of Mattawa ON., Chutes PP on the north end of the village of Massey ON, Pancake Bay PP, about 40 miles of Sault Ste Marie ON., Neys PP, about 15 west of Marathon ON., and Kakabeka Falls PP., about 15 miles west of Thunder Bay ON. The Kakabeka Falls PP is about 10 miles out of your way from Highway 61 to Duluth MN.
In all likelihood, you'll need to reserve ahead of time for a campsite and you can do it online. The only problem with that is that the Ontario Parks don't have any wifi service. You can get free wifi at any Tim Horton's Donut shop. Cellphone service is spotty along the north shore of Lake Superior but 3G is available in the towns along the way.
Another issue about the Lake Superior route is the weather. The Lake Superior region has a Sub-Arctic climate. The weather can change very quickly, so have some appropriate warm clothing just in case.
Here's the link to ONTARIO PARKS in case you don't have it.
Have a safe and enjoyable holiday.
