Tents set up at Pinehurst Lake Park

With 2,200 campsites in eight Grand River Parks, it is easy to find the perfect place for your camping vacation.

Whatever you are looking for, you will find it in Grand River Parks: 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 parks are just a short drive away from home, whether you live in Toronto, Hamilton, Kitchener, Guelph, Brantford or London or surrounding areas.

The parks are scattered across the Grand River watershed - an area larger than Prince Edward Island - and offer a huge variety of camping experiences. Whether you stay put in the parks and enjoy their many activities, or get out and explore the surrounding countryside and communities, there's plenty to keep you busy.
