In Canada, wild camping, also known as dispersed or primitive camping, is generally allowed on Crown land, which is public land managed by the government. However, the rules and regulations for wild camping vary depending on the province or territory, and it's important to check the specific regulations for the area you plan to visit. In some cases, you may need to obtain a permit or pay a fee to camp on Crown land. Additionally, wild camping is not allowed in national parks and provincial parks unless it's in designated backcountry campsites or areas. Always practice Leave No Trace principles and follow local guidelines when wild camping in Canada.
