Important: While we make every reasonable effort to fill the various requests of our camp families, there is NO GUARANTEE that you will receive the services, area, site or camp week of your preference. Site allocation is determined by the date that the Registrar initially receives your registration payment and proof of CPF membership, the limitations of the campground, and the speed in which each week's program fills. Please note that caps are in place for all programs and families may be required to camp in their second week preference. Your application number must be recorded on both of your registration payment cheques.
Camp families should be prepared to camp in any area of the campground that may be available. Your campsite number will be included in the May information notice that will be sent to your email address you provided when completing your registration application.
No spots can be held or reserved by phone or e-mail under any circumstances.
