Itinerary:

As part of our winter camping series, the Pinery will be our second stop. Located near Grand Bend on the shores of Lake Huron, The Pinery is a popular place to camp in the summer and has many winter activities. We'll only book one night, but be sure to get there early on Saturday morning to take full advantage of all the day's activities.

Pinery offers a full range of activities during the winter months. Visitors can camp on electrically serviced sites, ski on the 38 kilometres of cross-country trails or walk along one of the trails. In the centre of the park there is a heated chalet and toboggan hill. Cross-country ski rentals and light lunches are available at the park store and snack-bar on weekends.

As usual, there will be a MANDATORY preliminary meeting to ensure that everyone has the right equipment, or access to that equipment.

reservations have not yet been made for this campsite so we will eventually book for 2- 3 sites, or 12 -18 people.
