Ready cash
a couple questions for those that have done this before: How much ready cash is recommended? How much Canadian cash is recommended? Or do we rely on debit/credit cards with minimal cash on hand?

After we cross the border, our first stop is a Canadian bank. We get $300 Canadian. We use public campgrounds and the majority take only cash in their drop box. Some small restaurants only take cash. Also, laundramats, small grocery items, emergency fuel if no credit card option, etc. If you have any left before crossing back into the U.S., spend it on fuel or a restaurant. $300 will be plenty for the whole summer.
We didn't carry more than $300 in U.S. cash either. You can always get more at an ATM.
