Camping
Reservations are definitely a must for popular camping destinations like Bruce Peninsula National Park and MacGregor Point Provincial Park. These and other campsites fill up fast for the summer months, so consider a spring or fall camping getaway when the parks may be less busy. Private campgrounds fill up quickly, too, so it's a good idea to book your campsite as soon as possible. For tips on how to travel and camp respectfully, check out our "Visit Responsibly" page.
