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

The Grand River Parks Seasonal Camping Guide provides a complete overview of the rules and regulations for full season camping. We ask that all seasonal campers and applicants be familiar with the information in this guide.

If you have seasonal campsite reserved for the upcoming camping season, download and complete the Seasonal Campsite Licence Application and submit it by March 15, 2020 directly to the conservation area you've booked. Submission of a completed licence application is your agreement to Schedule "A" Licence Agreement Terms and Conditions.

Interested in a seasonal campsite?
There is high demand for seasonal campsites. As a result, seasonal campsites are offered annually via a lottery system. Please note that seasonal campsites are now full for the 2020 season. If you would like the chance to book a seasonal campsite, lottery applications will be made available in the early fall. Applications will only be accepted between November 1 and November 15. If you are interested in more than one conservation area, submit separate applications -- one for each conservation area of interest. Applications must be emailed to these addresses: Brant - Brantpark@grandriver.ca Byng Island - Byngislandpark@grandriver.ca Conestogo Lake - Conestogolakepark@grandriver.ca Elora Gorge - Eloragorgepark@grandriver.ca Guelph Lake - Guelphlakepark@grandriver.ca Laurel Creek - Laurelcreekpark@grandriver.ca Pinehurst Lake - Pinehurstlakepark@grandriver.ca 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. A list of available sites is posted prior to November 1.
