Book Before You Go

Parks can get busy, and we have a limited number of spots available each day. To guarantee your spot for the day, booking in advance is required.

• Planning a day trip? You can purchase daily vehicle permits for most parks up to five days before your visit through our online reservation service. This guarantees access and reduces wait time upon arrival.
• Seasonal permit holder? A seasonal permit alone does not guarantee entry. Please secure your day use spot in advance at no extra charge using your seasonal permit's serial number.
• At all other parks, daily vehicle permits are available on a first come, first served basis upon arrival.

We strongly recommend visitors obtain an advance daily vehicle permit to guarantee your day use spot at Wasaga Beach Provincial Park. Visit the Ontario Parks day use page to learn more.

For clarity, a vehicle is considered to interfere with snow clearing if its presence causes a snowplow or other snow-clearing equipment to alter its path, or prevents it from accessing areas it would otherwise clear of snow or ice.
• Parking is prohibited in any parking lot or on any highway between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. daily, in locations where signs stating “No Parking 2:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.” have been posted and are clearly visible.
• No person shall park a vehicle, on a highway or part of a highway as listed below, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. one day to 2:00 a.m. the next day, daily, unless the driver of such vehicle deposits on the Parking Ticket Dispenser provided for the parking space.
