COVID-19 pandemic restrictions

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of restrictions will be in place at GRCA conservation areas this season. Conservation areas will be operating with a reduced capacity once again this season and not all campsites will be available. Day-use areas will also have reduced capacities and guests will be asked to follow all local public health guidelines. Most washroom facilities will be open, however showers will remain closed. Boat rentals and food concessions will be closed for the season, as will swimming pools at Brant and Byng Island conservation areas and the splash pad at Elora Gorge Conservation Area.

To stay up-to-date on park and activity status, visit www.grandriver.ca/parkstatus for real-time information about whether a park is open or has reached its operating capacity for the day.

The GRCA is the second largest campground operator in Ontario, providing up to 2,200 campsites throughout the Grand River watershed. Of the GRCA’s 11 conservation areas, eight offer nightly, monthly, or seasonal camping opportunities.
