That's what I'm finding in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. although the former, it's remote enough you can probably just pitch your tent wherever. But in proper parks, you have to take a whole site. I don't mind so much, but a few things. It's hard to plan exactly where you'll be in advance, so you risk not getting a site, and even if you did get a site, I would feel bad that a whole family would have to make other plans, or deprive other campers with a greater need of all that space, which is essentially wasted on a single bike tourer. I think in those cases, I'd just see if I could enter the camp areas, and ask a large site if I could grab a small spot on their site. but I'd way prefer to pay my way for a reasonably priced Hiker/Biker site.
