That reminds me of the place I used to like camping up in Algonquin Park.

I selected for many reasons; One it wasn't too far off of the highway, was on 
the water and best of all, there was NO cell phone service.  It was my way of 
ensuring I wouldn't be bothered while on vacation.

This was before mobile data was really a thing, so no email on my phone, just 
calls & voicemail.  Imagine my surprise one year when I heard my phone 
ringing from my car & saw my office number on caller id.  It was a sad 
year...  ;)

Seems that there aren't many spots now-a-days when you can camp at a 
provincial park without either LTE or even park provided wifi being 
available.
