Introducing Ontario Parks’ first solar-powered camp cabin!
This month, Kettle Lakes Provincial Park unveiled its new cabin, nestled on the shores of a secluded park lake.
Inverhuron Provincial Park is prized for its sandy beach, diverse habitats, and glorious sunsets. Visitors enjoy outstanding swimming, shady campsites and a full-range of facilities, including a laundromat and Park Store.
This year, we’re delighted to announce the park’s newest feature: four new camp cabins, which will be available on our reservation system as of June 15, 2017.
Today’s post comes from Mackenzie Green, an Operations Technician at Silent Lake Provincial Park. We’re delighted to announce the opening of 10 new cabins, which will be available on our reservation system as of June 2, 2017.
The jack-of-all trades. The problem-solver. These monikers are often used to describe the hard-working staff of Ontario Parks!
The broad scope of tasks that Ontario Parks employees undertake has resulted in a large work-force of creative problem solvers. Our remote work locations often require us to be independent, allowing us to acquire and demonstrate a wide variety of skills. As individuals, each of us brings unique experiences and skill-sets to our parks, and when a problem presents itself, we revel in the opportunity to put our special skills to work!
Recently, at Silent Lake Provincial Park, one of these unique challenges presented itself, and park staff were more than happy to rise to the occasion!
Recently, Bon Echo Provincial Park took advantage of the bending and dampening properties of trees in order to save a number of them from removal during a construction project. Park Superintendent Clark Richards shares the story.
The challenge? Transporting a prefabricated cabin on a transport truck and trailer to the park.
The cabin had to be navigated through the narrow, single lane campground roads, eventually to be placed on an existing campsite.
Spring temperatures can be tough to predict, which is what makes April a great month to stay in a cabin or yurt! Whether it rains, snows or shines, you’ll have a cozy homebase for your outdoor adventures.
Don’t see your favourite park? Reminder that many parks, such as Arrowhead, Silent Lake and Windy Lake, close after March Break to prepare for the spring camping season.
Accommodations featured below were available as of 12:00 pm, March 23, 2017.

March temperatures can be tough to predict, which is what makes this the perfect month to stay in a cabin or yurt!

Our yurts and cabins are very busy over March Break, but after March 19, almost every park has great availability! March is also your last chance to visit parks like Silent Lake and Windy Lake before they re-open for spring.
