These Ontario Parks have rustic cabins & cottages available to book this summer

Do you dream of spending a weekend away from the city at one of Ontario’s most beloved parks? Well, you still can! Ontario Parks offers a number of roof accommodations such as rustic cabins and cottages. And some are still available for booking.

Though you’ll have to do some digging, we’ve gone ahead and put together a breakdown of which parks have which accommodations and how many of each.

Since summer is inching closer and closer to its end, you may find it tedious to come across available cottages and cabins but there are definitely a few available across the province.

Before we dive in, there are some things to note.
