Notable Campgrounds
- Best for ravine exploring: It’s easy to dip your toes into the creek from nearby Woodland and Ravine campgrounds. Ravine sites also have more privacy than the rest.
- Best for groups: If you’re here for a large family gathering, the Prairie Campground is closest to the group camping, as well as the camp store and off-leash dog trail.
- Best for larger RVs: The Prairie loop is created to fit larger RVs but is suitable for tents and smaller RVs as well.
Tips for Snagging a Campsite Reservation
- Mid-week is less busy during the summer months.
- Holiday weekends are busy, so book on shoulder season or midweek for less competition.
- Online bookings open five months in advance at 7am. Have alternate sites ready in case yours are taken.
When to Go
Located near apple orchards, Bronte Creek is great to visit in fall for the colours and quieter off-season. Spring is a great time to catch sight of the hundreds of owls, merlin, and hawks in the park, and even better, springtime is when most of the farmstead’s baby animals are born. The large day-use area opposite of the campground is open year-round.
Know Before You Go
- RV electrical outlets can be far from the RV—bring a long extension cord.
- If planning to hike, bring some water-resistant boots and rain gear, as trails are notoriously muddy and slippery in spring. The ravine is deep at points (up to 50 metres straight down) so wear proper shoes and tread carefully.
- Bring bikes to zoom around the campground on the crushed gravel road.
- Bronte has two leash-free dog areas: one half-kilometre loop in the day-use area and a two-kilometre loop at the north section of the campground.
Bronte Creek Provincial Park
With a barn and farm animals, this feels like a kids’ camp just 30 minutes from downtown Toronto.
With many interpretive programs and amenities near ravines and marshland, Bronte Creek Provincial Park combines convenience with the outdoors. Separated by Bronte Creek, the day-use areas and campground are separate—the east site has a huge day-use area with a 1.8-acre pool, playground, and playbarn, while the campground side, open from April to October, has 400+ roomy sites. Visitors can enjoy disc golf or hiking one of the four hiking trails through the Bronte Creek Valley in summer and tobogganing, cross-country-skiing, and snowshoeing near the ravine in winter. The Spruce Lane Farm House is a living history museum demonstrating early farm life including live farm animals.
