This hasn’t gotten as much attention as the one at the baseball stadium or the one briefly at Confederation Park, but there is a base camp located 30 minutes outside Ottawa in a farm field near Embrun.

This morning, there were 50 or so vehicles at the Embrun base camp.

For those unfamiliar with the Ottawa Valley and Eastern Ontario, this is where it is located on a map:

Here is the aft-view of the Embrun base camp as of this morning:

It’s pretty hard to miss from the highway, thanks to this giant sign:

They are even putting up their own helpful road signs.

This is the view that greets motorists after they get off the 417 near Vars:

There is another camp site I haven’t seen anyone identify previously located next to the 417 near Vars.

It is not that big, but there are about 10 vehicles boondocking in an empty lot across from the Esso with a pretty large tent and half a dozen portapotties.
