Residents of Canada can camp on crown land in Ontario for up to 21 days. In Northern Ontario you will find lots of places. Some areas may be restricted but will be posted.
Non residents can also camp on crown land. There are some restrictions and permits may be required.
.... In Ontario contact Ministry of Natural Resources
1 800 667 1940 or
a Service Ontario Centre in Northern Ontario
If you camp on Crown Land in Northern Ontario, I would suggest that you are well educated about the area you are in and that you have experience in a natural, remote area with dangerous wildlife. Some people still think that a moose is just a big dumb animal and a bear at a dump is not going to attack you.
There is no Crown land in the US. They went & tossed out the Queen & her family 250 years ago. They were not thinking of cheap or free camping back then for their Winnebagos. See what you get for a lack of forward planning:).
