A Membership is not required to browse Algonquin & Beyond. Free content includes Trip Reports, Lake Reports, informational articles, and more. Membership content includes Backcountry Campsite Reports, Frontcountry Campsite Reports, Campground Video Tours, 360-Degree Videos, with more coming soon.

Operating Algonquin & Beyond requires a lot of money and a significant amount of time, and it’s only possible because of the amazing camping community that supports my work by purchasing a Membership. For a detailed explanation of why I’m charging for Memberships, please read this blog post “Why I Started Charging for Algonquin & Beyond Memberships”

There are two Membership options: Annual Memberships, and Lifetime Memberships. The Annual Membership lasts for one full year from the time you sign up. Lifetime Memberships do not expire (they will last for as long as this website and Membership services are being provided).

Annual Memberships will automatically renew after one year from the time you sign up. If you need to change your payment information before the next billing cycle, you can do so on the My Account page. If you cancel your Annual Membership, your Membership will remain active until the end of your subscription period and then it will automatically expire. Lifetime Memberships are not subject to renewal and do not expire.

You may see Membership prices increase over time, but don’t worry, as long as your Membership remains active, your original price that you paid will not change. If your Membership is cancelled or expires, a new Membership will need to be purchased at the current pricing.

No credit card information is stored on Algonquin & Beyond. It may look like the payment is being collected by this website, but it’s actually being securely captured by a third-party payment processor (eg. Stripe) and adheres to the payment processor’s extremely strict security standards. Credit card information is never stored directly on the Algonquin & Beyond website.

Trial periods are not being offered at this time. If there are features you’d like to see introduced in the future (trial periods, or others) feel free to send me an email and let me know.

Memberships can be easily cancelled from the My Account page. After you cancel your Membership, your Membership will remain active until the end of your subscription period and then it will automatically expire.

Due to the seasonal nature of camping in Ontario, Membership refunds are not being offered at this time. If you purchase a Membership and decide that you don’t want to renew your Membership the following year, please make sure you cancel your Membership before the next billing cycle.

If you have any further questions, suggestions, feedback, or if you’d just like to say hi 👋, feel free to fill out my Contact Form. If it takes me a while to respond, don’t worry, it’s probably because I’m somewhere in the bush without cell service. I’ll try to get back to you as soon as possible.
