Tents set up at Pinehurst Lake Park

COVID-19 Alert

The GRCA continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 situation in Ontario. The health, safety and well-being of our staff, volunteers and the community remain our highest priority. Please visit our COVID-19 Update page where you will find the most up-to-date information on impacts to GRCA programs and services.

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.

Reservations

Reservations can be made through our online reservation system only. Conestogo Lake and Laurel Creek conservation areas will not offer overnight camping in 2020. 

Group camping

Due to changes related to the COVID-19 pandemic, group camping will not be available this season.

Seasonal camping

Seasonal campsites are offered at seven Grand River Parks. Please visit our Seasonal Camping page for information.
