The sun is still high for summertime in Ontario, but that doesn’t mean you should wait to start planning your next adventure for the colder months.
Winter camping is a fun and exciting way to enjoy the season’s best, and now a beautiful provincial park is turning the heat up on some new and special campsites.
Sleeping Giant Provincial Park is set to open electrical campsites for the first time ever! From Nov. 28 to March 23, book a cold-weather getaway across five new campsites at this beautiful park on the Sibley Peninsula.
Electric campsites provide electrical hookups for devices, allowing you to plug in your essentials and keep the fun (and warmth) going all night long. Items like cooking stoves, lights, charging stations, and even electric kettles can be used at your campsite.
Just picture it: your glowing fire will light up the crystal-like snow covering your camping site, as the wind whips through the picturesque landscape, and the air is crisp and fresh. Talk about a winter wonderland!
With your sleep spot secured, now is the time to figure out what you’ll do at Sleeping Giant. The winter months offer a variety of activities, such as cross-country skiing through winter trails and ice skating on the park’s new skate trail.
It’s not just Sleeping Giant that offers exciting winter camping adventures. Fourteen Ontario parks offer overnight stays throughout the winter, running the gamut from heated accommodations to tents.
Find heated roof accommodations at Alongquin, Arrowhead, Killarney, MacGregor Point, Pinery, Quetico, Silent Lake, Sleeping Giant, and Windy Lake. These structures will either be soft-sided shelters, rustic cabins, or cottages.
Winter trailer and tent camping is also available at Quetico, Silent Lake, Killbear Provincial, Killarney Provincial, MacGregor Point, Pinery, Arrowhead, and Algonquin parks.
For a bit of a more challenging winter camping adventure, try backcountry camping in Algonquin, Killarney, Wabakimi, Woodland Caribou, Kawartha Highlands, Quetico, and Sleeping Giant parks. Frontenac Park also offers backcountry camping and is known for its tranquil atmosphere with over 100 kms of hiking trails that can be traversed with snowshoes or cross-country skis.
It’s never too early to start looking forward to winter.
