Algonquin Provincial Park - power access
Was checking out Algonquin park and it seems to say that the power pedestals are 30 meters from the site. Is this right? Do people really need nearly 100 feet of power cable and extensions?

We used to carry a 90 ft. HD contractor's power cord with us as we've hit a few campsites in provincial parks with LONG runs. It restricted us to 15 amps but it's better than no amps, especially since you are paying for it.
We have pretty much given up on Ontario provincial parks except for one or two in the north. We got tired of having our RV scratched up by tree branches that they don't seem to want to trim and and by the unreasonable costs compared to private parks. For instance, we are parked right now in a resort where we have 50 amp power, water, sewer and cable. The daily rate is less than in Ontario provincial parks. They also have daily garbage pick up at your site and if you are out of propane, you put your cylinder on the road at your site, they pick it up, fill it and return it! Each site is cleaned and prepped by volunteer hosts prior to being occupied. Yes, it's less "natural" than a provincial park but the view outside the RV back window isn't bad:
