Singletrack cuts into second-growth hardwood on the hillside above the Humber River at Albion Hills, in Caledon north of Brampton. You are in the trees almost immediately, riding that hillside with the river downslope the whole time. A full day on that dirt still ends inside the conservation park, at a campground along the river. The next morning the same trails are waiting.
The riding keeps going past the campground loop into wooded Caledon countryside, which is the extra you get for sleeping on site. Elmview and Meadowvale are the named trail sections out that way, beyond the core loop. As of September 2026 the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority has a construction restriction on both. The rest of the mountain-bike trails stay open, so you still come for a ride, and you check those two sections before you follow a line into the countryside.
The campground is along the river, at the bottom of the hillside you just rode, in the same conservation park. Albion Hills Campground has pull-through sites for RVs, serviced sites, and serviced sites with sewer, plus a dumping station. If you need more sleeping space than a campervan, look at Brampton RV rentals. The operator describes the park as about 40 minutes from Toronto.
Reservations open ahead of the summer season. Summer and the shoulder-season weekends are when hookup and serviced sites go first, so lock the overnight before you book the van. The van is the second booking. The campground runs spring through mid-fall, then it closes.
The Forks of the Credit is another Caledon day, in the same hills as Albion Hills, and a Mississauga trip.
Heart Lake Conservation Park
Heart Lake is a small lake inside Brampton, and you can do it on an afternoon without building a trip around it. A swim beach and a splash pad are on the shore, and a zip line spans the water. Fishing, boat rentals, and hiking fill the same day, and a mountain-bike trailhead is on site if you want a shorter dirt loop than Albion Hills. You can stay on the lake until evening and still be back in town.
The conservation authority lists those as day-use activities and does not offer camping. A Heart Lake afternoon sends you to Albion Hills for the night. If the trip is pointing farther, Toronto is the start for Algonquin.
