Camping

With 2,200 campsites in eight Grand River Conservation Areas, it is easy to find the perfect place for your camping vacation. Both individual sites and group camping sites are available from May 1 to October 15. 

You can find our conservation areas throughout the Grand River watershed - an area larger than Prince Edward Island. Whatever you are looking for in your camping vacation, you will find it: an afternoon at the beach, a hike through green forests, canoeing on a pond or dropping a line to catch a trophy-sized fish.

Our conservation areas are just a short drive away from home, whether you live in Toronto, Hamilton, Kitchener, Guelph, Brantford, London or anywhere in between.
