Building and Upgrading More than 1,000 Ontario Parks Campsites

September 24, 2025

Big news for Ontario campers!

As part of the government’s plan to protect Ontario, we’re investing nearly $60 million to create more camping opportunities for families and outdoor enthusiasts at some of the province’s most popular provincial parks.

More people than ever before are looking to vacation in Ontario and across Canada to support our local communities, with many of Ontario Parks now reaching full capacity during peak seasons.

This investment will add up to 300 new campsites and upgrade 800 campsites with electrical service over the next three years, representing the largest expansion of Ontario Parks in 50 years.

As part of this expansion, new campsites will be added at Driftwood, MacGregor Point, Bon Echo and Killarney provincial parks, with more parks to follow.

At the same time, existing campsites at Sandbanks, Arrowhead and Bon Echo provincial parks will be upgraded with electrical service, with additional parks receiving electrified campsites in the future.

This expansion will make it easier for more people to camp at world-class Ontario Parks destinations while boosting domestic and international tourism that supports local businesses and jobs.
