Accommodation that Suits Your Nature: Imagine enjoying all the beauty and nature of an Ontario Park without having to bring much gear or sleep in a tent. Maybe you are new to camping and want to stay at a park without having to invest in equipment or perhaps you used to be a camper and no longer want to sleep on the ground. Dedicated summer campers who want to try visiting in the colder months might prefer the warmth of a yurt. Whatever your preference, Ontario Parks has many styles of roofed accommodation to suit every taste.
