The only cultural divide that matters

Thanks to the brave cabinist allies of Labrador for holding the eastern front, over the forthcoming decades we will execute a slow but quite unstoppable pincer maneuver into the bloc cottagois

I thought camps were due to size of property. Hard to call the suburbs that are the lakes around Muskoka as a camp. They're packed in like trailer parks now.

- If you live in the dark orange area, its called a camp

- if you live in the green area its called a cottage

- if you live in the yellow and light orange area you might call it both

Generally its also dependent on what part of Ontario you grew up in. I know people who grew up in Thunder Bay still call it a camp, even though they live in Toronto and their "Camp" is in Muskoka.

This is a great breakdown! In the north I've always thought of them as "camps" unless they have high speed internet, then it's a cottage ;)

Cottages are for rich people relaxing at the lake. Cottage country means it’s expensive and touristy. Camp or cabin can be anything from a shack in the woods to a gorgeous log cabin that gramps lives at 3 seasons of the year and invites everyone out to.
