The Park will open for campers on 11 May, 2012.  However, our trails are still open to the public. Park at the Visitor Centre lot, and walk Quiddity or the West Side Trail, or walk down the main road to other trailheads.

The Park has built 4 yurts on sites #313, 315A,B,C in Shady Ridge. (See the map in the 2011 Information Guide, p.16.)  The Bayside Campground comfort station has been completely replaced.  New facilities include a family shower and solar panels to heat the water. The comfort stations in Meadowlands were renovated over the winter in 2012.

Don’t forget to buy your tickets on one or both of the friends’ fund-raising raffles – for a Scott Kevlar canoe with ash gunnels and thwarts, or a framed print of Sheila Ballantyne’s beautiful painting “Tomahawk Rock” (a Charleston Lake landmark on Big Bluff Island). Tickets for each raffle are $2.00 apiece or $5.00. You can pick your winning ticket up at the Friends' store, the gatehouse, or at a number of summer events in the district, and of course from any Friends Board member.  We will be selling tickets at the Craft Fair in Gananoque, at Lansdowne Harvest Day, and at Lyndhurst Turkey Fair.  The lucky winner of the canoe and the other great camping gifts will be drawn on Thanksgiving weekend, when the Park gates close.
