Communication #3: We are pleased to advise that seasonal camping will resume on June 15 at 8 a.m. Seasonal campers will receive an email directly from their parks with further details. Should you not receive an email, please contact your park directly for further information.

Seasonal camping is offered at seven Grand River Parks: Brant, Byng Island, Conestogo Lake, Elora Gorge, Guelph Lake, Laurel Creek and Pinehurst Lake.

 Interested in a seasonal campsite?

Please note the lottery for the 2021 season has now closed. 

There is high demand for seasonal campsites. As a result, seasonal campsites are offered annually via a lottery system. 

If you would like the chance to book a seasonal campsite, lottery applications are made available in the early fall. 

 

Application process

Applications are only accepted between November 1 and November 15. If you are interested in more than one conservation area, separate applications must be submitted -- one for each conservation area of interest.

Applications must be emailed to these addresses:

Alternatively you may also hand-deliver or mail in your application directly to the conservation area of interest. Applications must be received no later than November 15. Applicants who submit complete applications before the deadline will be contacted in November with the date the lottery will take place.

Note: Seasonal site availability changes year to year. Not all parks may have seasonal sites available each year.
