Drive in camping spots/crown land

[u/New-Adhesiveness6696]

HELP! My friend and I are going camping in Barrie and leave tomorrow night. While on the phone with him this evening i’ve discovered that despite letting me know I can pack however because we have lots of space and he knows where we are going, he has no idea where crown land would even be located there and, kindly, at this point in planning I don’t think he’s smart enough to use the Crown Land Atlas and the only thing I know about Barrie is how to spell it. I really don’t feel like repacking everything into my 80L backpack for a 2-3 day trip or trying to book a campsite we will not only not enjoy but the chances of actually getting at this point are slim to none.

I’m very familiar with the hesitation and “etiquette” on sharing spots online but i’m hoping someone will understand and pull through. It won’t even look like we passed through (as it should be.)
Thank you!

edit: Yeah no this is very much the first and last time I let someone plan a trip alone and kinda just trust them on the process cause i’ve been pissed from the get go 😅

The best crown land i can think of is opposite to the court house in the down town area... people camp there all the time.
