Seasonal camping

Seasonal camping is offered at the following conservation areas. Please note seasonal sites may not be available in each of these conservation areas every year. 

Our Seasonal Camping Guide provides a complete overview of the rules and regulations for seasonal camping. We ask that all seasonal campers and applicants be familiar with the information in the guide, as well as Schedule "A" Licence Agreement Terms and Conditions, which contains terms and conditions.

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

Annual application process

  • Applications are submitted through our online application system between September 15 and September 30. 
  • If you are interested in more than one conservation area, separate applications must be submitted – one for each conservation area. Only one application per household, per conservation area can be drawn.
  • Applications must be received no later than September 30. 
  • For those who participate in the lottery, the draw will take place between October 1 and October 15, 2024, and successful applicants will be notified shortly after. Please be sure to check your junk mail folder.
  • A deposit of $1000 will be due between October 1 and October 22 to secure your site. 
  • Previously evicted campers will not be considered in the lottery. 

Note: Seasonal site availability changes year to year. Not all conservation areas have seasonal site availability every year.
