Camping and RV

Harrison Park

There aren't many cities with campgrounds, but Owen Sound is an exception. The campground is located within Harrison Park, offering boat rentals, a heated pool, mini-golf, tennis and basketball courts, a bird sanctuary and Black history cairn. It also has a licensed restaurant.

For 2018, the campground will open on Monday, May 14 and close on Monday, September 24 to serve you better in 2019. During this early closure, from September 24 to Thanksgiving weekend, we will have the Kelso Beach Campground available for guests who enjoy late season camping.

Registrations for campsites in Harrison Park Campground for the 2018 Camping Season will be accepted commencing at 8:00 am on Tuesday, May 1, 2018 and will be booked on a first come/call basis. Registrations for Summerfolk 2018 will commence at 8:00 am on Monday, May 14, 2018 and will be booked on a first come/call basis. The campground office can be reached by calling 519-371-9734.

The City of Owen Sound is excited to continue the improvements to the Harrison Park Campground this fall with significant upgrades to the electrical and water services to each site with all new systems, adding 50-amp sites and realigning several sites to improve access for larger vehicles and trailers.

Replacing the water and electrical services to every site is a major infrastructure project that will take a few months to build. In order to have this work completed before the ground freezes and the snow returns we have decided to move up the Harrison Park Campground closing date to September 24, 2018 from our traditional Thanksgiving weekend closing.

You don't have to wait until next year to take advantage of improvements at Harrison Park! We have been busy over the winter.

• Each washroom at Harrison Park has been fully renovated since last fall.
• The pool has been improved for recreational swimming including accessible entry and four spray nozzles for water play fun.
• The bath house at the pool has been renovated, including the addition of an accessible change room.
• The "Mile Drive" trail surface has been improved.

We recognize that the early closure this fall will pose an inconvenience for some campers, however; we trust that you will find these upgrades to be beneficial and we look forward to your return throughout the summer season and again in 2019. We are excited to be investing in the Harrison Park campground so we can offer an upgraded experience for many years to come
