Hi NFPL Campers!

This is a friendly reminder that campsite bookings will be opening on November 3 at 9:00 am EST for the 2026 season!

With site openings for next year fast approaching, we want to make sure that bookings go smoothly with as little Internet traffic as possible. That is why we are asking campers to AVOID going to the booking website through NorthFrontenacParklands.com for the first couple days this year, and instead log onto the booking website directly using the below QR code! (If you are unable to use the QR code, you can also access the booking website directly here.)

Please make sure to save this link and/or QR code for the day of!!

If you still wish to go onto NorthFrontenacParklands.com on opening day for anything OTHER than booking (ex. reading about the lakes, getting fishing resources, etc.) you are still welcome to do so.

Thank you for understanding, and happy camping! 🙂
