Sometimes you are better to just keep your mouth shut and walk away from the keyboard.

Rob - I hope you know I was being facetious.

Bob - that's some low-effort trolling. Do better.

I'll trade you a hydro long weekend in Killbear with a Ranger Rick rookie card for a week in Killarney.

Hi Pete, sorry got nothing in Killarney right now, just gave a few long weekends away doesn't seem like a popular spot. Will take that Killbear off you for a couple weeks at Grundy and a Trudeau mania tshirt medium sized if you think it'll fit.

Re: booking camp sites and selling them off at a profit

Dear Reservation Holder,

The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks takes concerns raised by visitors to Ontario Parks very seriously. We’re committed to ensuring that as many Ontarians as possible can enjoy the benefits of provincial parks and greenspaces and that they are accessible to all. We’re currently looking at new ways to make more campsites available for reservation to help address the growing demand.

The ministry has become aware that there are instances where individuals are attempting to sell reservations with the intention to make a profit. The ministry does not condone transferring and re-selling Ontario Parks reservations for a profit (i.e. more than the original cost of the reservation).

Effective April 24, 2021, reservation holders are not permitted to resell any reservation for profit. If we become aware that anyone has attempted to sell a reservation for profit, for example, if they have listed a reservation on social media or buy-and-sell websites for re-sale for profit, the reservation may be cancelled and all applicable penalty fees will apply.

If you have any questions about this policy, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page. See here for full reservation rules, including how to transfer a reservation.

We continue to monitor feedback from our visitors to ensure a fair and transparent reservation system is provided for everyone.

Sincerely,

Ontario Parks

Re: booking camp sites and selling them off at a profit

Some good news on this front. Who knows how much impact it will make though, but it's effort at least.

Re: booking camp sites and selling them off at a profit

This is great that the Ministry has changed their policy and it would be better if they could put more teeth behind it with a fine but as a first step goes...nice!

Re: booking camp sites and selling them off at a profit

A nice start, but honestly this is nothing more than posturing... It's just not heavy handed enough... The practice of transferring permits needs to be completely eliminated to stop this.
