Gordon's Park

Top choice


More than 80 hectares of land makes for plenty of room for campsites, tipis, and simple cabins with psychedelic murals. Walking trails and activities like bird-watching, fishing and archery are offered, plus there's a pool. Designated a Dark Sky Preserve, Gordon's also is one of the best places in Ontario to view meteor showers and even see the northern lights.
