RRCA staff look forward to welcoming visitors to Charlottenburgh Park this summer.

Ready, set, camp! The Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) is inviting residents to connect with nature during this year’s camping season, as the campground at Charlottenburgh Park - one of the RRCA’s three Conservation Areas - opens its online reservations at 8:30 AM on March 1. 

The popular green space, which welcomed close to 25,000 visitors last year, is located on the St. Lawrence River near Summerstown, just a few kilometres east of Cornwall. It offers a beach, boat launch, nature trails, campground, and more. Surrounded by trees and wildlife, serviced and un-serviced lots offer campers an opportunity to unwind and re-connect with the natural world.  

“We look forward to welcoming campers and day-use visitors when the Park opens for the Victoria Day weekend in May,” says RRCA Administrative Assistant, Josianne Sabourin, who looks after the Park’s administration. “We encourage campers to book their sites early, as we are expecting another busy camping season this summer.”

Returning campers will notice enhancements completed by the RRCA such as the addition of water and electrical service to several lots. Throughout the winter, RRCA staff updated the online booking to a new, user-friendly system which will be available on the RRCA’s website at rrca.on.ca.

Daily, weekend, and monthly campsites can be reserved online. Seasonal campsites have already been reserved for 2022. For online booking support, please contact Josianne Sabourin at Josianne.Sabourin@rrca.on.ca or (613) 938-3611 ext. 221. 

Charlottenburgh Park features a diverse environment with many types of ecosystems, including white pine and spruce plantations, a mixed hardwood forest, and Class 2 Provincially Significant Wetlands. The Park’s nature trail system is open year-round at no cost.
