Park yourself under the stars at one of several full-service campsites in the Owen Sound area, where you can enjoy nature's amenities in surround sound. Tents, trailers and RVs are equally welcome, as are pets. Our campgrounds cater to families, offering bike-friendly trails, shady areas, and promises of s'mores by the fire. Some offer direct access to the Bruce Trail, which forms a ribbon around the city, through forests and parkland, linking waterfalls and rivers along the Niagara Escarpment.
