Province Building and Upgrading More than 1,000 Ontario Parks Campsites

September 18, 2025

The government is investing nearly $60 million to create more camping opportunities for families and outdoor enthusiasts at some of the province’s most popular provincial parks, adding up to 300 new campsites and upgrading 800 campsites with electrical service over the next three years. As part of the government’s plan to protect Ontario, this historic investment 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.

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.
