You can have them in camp unlocked as "they are in use". However, the bottom line is you are the one who is responsible for your firearms. If someone drops by the camp with their kids or a non-gun person shows up, you have to take the necessary precautions to protect your firearms from them.
Nope.
If some-ones kid shows up & attempts to touch the guns..THEY'LL BE TOLD!
If a non-gun person shows up & attempts to touchs the guns...THEY'LL BE TOLD TO!
guns go on the rack, unloaded, no locks. .338 hangin in the bunk room J.I.C.

STORAGE OF NON-RESTRICTED FIREARMS
5. (1) An individual may store a non-restricted firearm only if
(a) it is unloaded;
(b) it is
(i) rendered inoperable by means of a secure locking device,
(ii) rendered inoperable by the removal of the bolt or bolt-carrier, or
(iii) stored in a container, receptacle or room that is kept securely locked and that is constructed so that it cannot readily be broken open or into; and
(c) it is not readily accessible to ammunition, unless the ammunition is stored, together with or separately from the firearm, in a container or receptacle that is kept securely locked and that is constructed so that it cannot readily be broken open or into.
(2) Paragraph (1)(b) does not apply to any individual who stores a non-restricted firearm temporarily if the individual reasonably requires it for the control of predators or other animals in a place where it may be discharged in accordance with all applicable Acts of Parliament and of the legislature of a province, regulations made under such Acts, and municipal by-laws.
(3) Paragraphs (1)(b) and (c) do not apply to an individual who stores a non-restricted firearm in a location that is in a remote wilderness area that is not subject to any visible or otherwise reasonably ascertainable use incompatible with hunting.

i have pairs of rubber coated hooks screwed into one wall as a makeshift gun rack.
they can also be used to hang gear.
but even if it were yes, would you really want to? its pretty much a guarantee that if you leave a gun laying out with unlicensed people around, sooner or later theyre going to pick it up and start f$%king with it. do you really want to wake up to a loud bang?

im pretty sure the legal answer is no.

In my humble opinion, mvarley hit the nail square on the head. In use, or in storage is basically irrelevant in a remote wilderness area, with the exception that it must be unloaded in storage.
In Ontario, you must also comply with the provincial encasing requirement.
I keep a gunsock in my bag in case I get caught out a little late.

That's the rules for storage not when a gun is in use
If your rifle is in your turck its in transport. Diffrent rules again .

Ontario laws make me hate Ontario lawmakers just a little more each time I'm exposed to the crap they spew! Thank God we don't have such ridiculous laws in the
West!

I'm pretty confident that my dad(who is unlicenced) isn't going to do something stupid with my guns.
A)He had army training which involved weapons training.
B)He's always telling me to make sure guns are unloaded and locked up to the point where it gets irritating(I'm very safety conscious)
I have in the past when camping always locked up my guns around my dad, but it was more because I was concerned about the tiny chance of a LEO giving me trouble.
