I went to an industry workshop in April, where we were actually helping the workshop leaders build a packaging workshop. As participants we were expected to form affiliations with other businesses, to build packages for tourism. Interesting, however, the other businesses are all from a tight geographic location, far from here. Due to the nature of tourism organizations, there is nothing local representing this armpit of Algonquin Park directly.
In a roleplaying exercise, I was handed $600 hypothetical $$s, then subjected to a list of requirements that cannot be fulfilled in this area. The workshop leader was stunned when I turned the money back, and suggested that he approach a much more expensive business with more resources in a more populated area.
Some people will promise anything to get as much of your money as possible. At Red Deer in Madawaska, there is little to spend money on besides the roof over your head (or a place to pitch your tent).
One of the reasons a lot of other campgrounds are crowded and suburbanized is for capitalization, i.e. so that every square foot of the place has been monetized (otherwise known as dedicated to the God of Currency).
I leave room to breathe. Of course, I'm not getting rich this way, but my clients' experiences have great quality.
Why would you leave the city to be crammed in next to your neighbours?
I go to the city if I want to be in a crowd. It's expensive there.
If you want to give your wallet a rest, this place is a good choice. However, if your identity is tied to swiping plastic during your leisure hours, I don't have a lot to offer.
The closest WalMart is over an hour away...
