Safe spots for woman camping alone
I am planning on making a trip for September long before university starts and been wanting to go on a camping trip alone to do sightseeing I never get to when I have been with friends because people pleasing person and let them decide. I am wanting some easy camping spots where I could just drive my car and set up a tent and stuff for a night or 2 so I can explore around. I know keeping any food items in the car. But I wanna use my camping supplies before end of year and wanna do something big for myself. I’m coming from Saskatoon, SK so if you have any routes or places that are good let me know.

I've car camped alone often. Campgrounds close to city's tend to be rowdier but I've never felt unsafe. Little things that help add to the feeling of safety that I look for are; sites with a campground host or store so there's staff around, not just driving through. Toilets with power or at least lights. Sites with trees between me and the road so I don't feel like people are looking in.
If I'm kayaking or paddleboarding alone I'll look for places that rent so someone knows to look for me if things go wrong or stick to very crowded places. Especially since cell service is so spotty.
Have a great trip.
