67 new campsites are opening at MacGregor Point, Killarney and Driftwood Provincial Parks.
The province says the expansion will create nearly 5,000 new reservable camping nights between June 26 and Labour Day. Reservations open June 15, 2026, at 7 a.m. Eastern Time through the Ontario Parks Reservation Service, with arrivals beginning June 26.
The new sites include 17 campsites at MacGregor Point Provincial Park, 25 at Killarney Provincial Park and 25 electrical campsites at Driftwood Provincial Park.
Todd McCarthy, Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, said camping remains a major part of summer for many Ontario families. He said the new sites are meant to give more people a chance to visit Ontario Parks while also supporting local businesses.
The project is part of the first phase of a nearly $60-million, multi-year campground expansion and modernization plan. Over the life of the investment, Ontario Parks plans to add about 300 new campsites and upgrade 800 existing campsites with electrical service.
The province says this is the largest campground expansion Ontario has seen in more than 50 years.
More sites are also planned for the 2027 summer season, including 65 new campsites at Bon Echo and Presqu’ile Provincial Parks.
Ontario Parks has already completed electrical upgrades at 285 campsites across several parks, including Sandbanks, Arrowhead and Turkey Point. Those upgraded sites are currently available for reservation, with arrival dates depending on the park and site.
Per the news release, Ontario Parks recorded nearly 14 million visits in 2025.
