Quetico Park Information
Canada Travel Permits & Camping Regulations
A Travel Permit must be reserved for the Quetico Park. Party size restriction for a Travel Permit is 10 people in the Quetico. Bottles and cans for food and beverages are not allowed in the canoe areas. Firearms are illegal in the Quetico Park. Dogs are permitted in the Quetico Park (but requires a rabies certificate).
The per night camping fee is $21.47 (Canadian funds) per person 18 years of age and older. The per night youth fee of 17 years & under is $8.48.
A $100.00 deposit plus the $11.00 reservation fee (nonrefundable) will be requested at the time of the reservation. This fee is to discourage speculative bookings and to encourage those canceling permits to do so early and therefore free up quota. If you go on your trip, the $100.00 deposit gets applied towards your camping fees. If you cancel or change a reservation, the cancellation percentage will apply, based on how long your reservation has been held. This does not include the $11.00 non-refundable reservation fee. Following is a chart explaining the reservation cancellation/change and refund policy for applicable percentages.
