Winter Camping

Camp in comfort in a yurt or trailer or rough it in a tent – it’s up to you!  Or perhaps a tipi’s more your style?  Choose your favourite or try them all this winter in BruceGreySimcoe.  
 

MacGregor Point Provincial Park

MacGregor Point Provincial Park, just outside of Port Elgin has ten cabins and two yurts - roofed, heated structures all set up for an easy camping experience with plans to build an additional five yurts in the spring of 2024.  Serviced with electricity, BBQ and bunk beds, sleeping bags and food are pretty much all that’s required.  Bonus:  they’re located close to a heated comfort station with flush toilets and showers. In addition, the park has four rustic cabins open year round. Reservations are required for both the yurts and the cabins.
 
For transient campers, there are sites available – be sure to reserve your site ahead of time.

Reminder - pack your ice skates, snowshoes and cross-country skis, as there’s a skating loop (lit up for night skating) and plenty of trails for winter sports.   Love to snowmobile?  Travel the park roads for a tour of beautiful scenery in a peaceful setting.

Bruce Peninsula National Park

The 10 yurts at this rugged park at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula are open for winter camping. Cozy and snug, each yurt is equipped with a woodstove, beds, propane BBQ and more. Washrooms are no problem  -  heated comfort stations are a short distance away, with flush toiles, individual showers and potable water. Staying in this roofed accommodation means there is no tent to set up - you just need to bring personal items and all the supplies required for cooking, sleeping and starting your fire and BBQ. Reservations are a must for these popular structures, so you may want to try a mid-week camping trip rather than the busier weekends.  Reserve online or by calling 1-877-737-3783.
