Hamilton Wentworth
Area council has
operated Camp Nemo for over 50 years. The camp consists of over 150
acres of varied landscape including fields, valleys, wooded and
wilderness areas. Located in North Burlington at the foot of the
Niagara Escarpment the camp is just minutes away from the Bruce
Trail.
The Bronte Creek and the much smaller Nemo Creek both pass
through the camp.
Facilities include 9 buildings, 8 Adirondack shelters (in 3
pods), and numerous campsites (ranging from wilderness sites
stressing zero impact on the environment to large group campsite
with car parking located nearby).
Drinking water is from the Region of Halton, trucked in, stored
in holding tanks and further treated prior to distribution to
buildings and water stations.
Numerous hiking trails are on site (including the perimeter trail
that takes in just about every corner of the camp).
As mentioned above the Bruce Trail is just minutes away. After
joining the trail at #2 Sideroad and Walkers Line the trail climbs
the escarpment through a fissure. Once on top of the escarpment the
trial continues over fairly level terrain criss-crossed with
fissures, some of which lead into a system of vertical caves. The
trail continues on to Mt. Nemo Conservation area. The view from the
top of the escarpment is spectacular.
A short distance away is Rattlesnake Point Conservation area (one
of Ontario best spots for rock climbing) and Crawford Lake
Conservation area (rare meromictic lake). See
