News and Updates
Water Conservation in effect beginning July 1st
The lack of rain is no good for our wells. Please do not pressure wash trailers/vehicles or water your lawns until we get some rain.
Also, please keep garden watering to a minimum.
Fire Ban in effect beginning July 1st
Due to the extreme dryness of the park we have come to the decision to place a fire ban on our property starting July 1st.
We understand that the township is not putting on a ban but we have decided this is what is best for our property.
We have had a few instances already with fires within the last week and we don’t want to have anymore.
***Propane fire tables are still permitted***
Thank you for understanding and hopefully we will get some rain soon.

We have received information from the Health Department that as of June 12th, visitors will be allowed back to Green Acres. We will have restrictions in place. There is an absolute maximum of 4 visitors per site. No exceptions. Please do not ask for an exception. They must be immediate family members only. (Grandchildren, common lawn partners, your children over the age of 19 are allowed)
Cousins, nieces/nephews, friends etc are not allowed at this time.
If anyone is showing any symptoms- do not bring them here please.
Everyone must register upon arrival at a cost of $4.00 per day
There will be rules in regards to your 4 immediate family guest regarding social distancing. The health department has expressed that all visitors- if not from the same address as you must still practice social distancing. This means your immediate family are welcome to come here but you still must stay 6ft apart at all times... including inside the trailer. If the trailer is not large enough to accommodate this- then 4 guests might be too many at this time. An alternative to this issue would be to wear a mask when social distancing is difficult as per the suggestions of the Ontario government.
We understand that this is not an ideal situation for some... but we have decided as a business that this is how we want to begin allowing people in to our park- slowly.
We really do appreciate all your patience and understanding. We have to start somewhere.

Covid 19 update
On Friday June 12, our beach will be open with all social distancing rules still in effect. Gatherings of 10 people will also be allowed following the same guidelines for social distancing. We ask that if you do go down to the beach and it is busy, to please consider sitting somewhere else until others leave. Our no visitors policy continues.
We have also decided as a family and a business that we will not be opening our transient site to outside campers this season. Our primary goal is to keep our family and customers safe. We feel that the best way to do this it by limiting the amount of outside customers that come into the park.
