We're going for a mid-week, 2 night front-country camping trip at Bruce Peninsula National Park, one of the most in demand campsites in Canada. The park is completely sold out for '24 already so, if you've wanted to visit - this is your chance!
The Bruce Peninsula is famous for its gorgeous limestone landscapes and crystal clear turquoise water. There's really nowhere else quite like it in Ontario. Nearby is one of Canada's most iconic hikes to the Grotto, a ridiculously pretty natural cave and swimming spot.
This trip is car-camping so it's an easy way to get comfortable spending a night outside in a tent. We'll be leaving first thing on Tuesday morning with a first stop in Tobermory to tour the famous town and eat their legendary fish & chips.
We'll then move on Cyprus Lake Campground where we'll set up camp and explore the trails. At night we'll all have dinner together and roast smores over a campfire.
Bruce Peninsula is a Dark Sky Preserve meaning that if the clouds are clear we'll be in for some truly incredible stargazing.
The morning after, we'll hike to The Grotto, those who want to brave the cold can jump in for a swim. Later in the day, you can explore the Bruce Peninsula or hang around the campsite to learn camp craft like starting a fire and hanging a tarp.
For our final day, we'll have a lazy morning at the campsite then check into nearby Lionshead for lunch on the beach.
Space is limited to 16 people so you'll want to reserve this adventure quickly. We've got spots for 12 people in the van for those who need lifts and another 6 people will be able to self drive.
This trip is suitable for all members and super affordable.
What's included
This trip is professionally guided and includes all camp meals and cooking equipment along with tents. We have cheap equipment rental for those who need a sleeping bag and sleeping pad. Tell us what you need to rent here.
Before the trip we'll be sharing a detailed packing list telling you absolutely everything you need to think about and pack, as well as an info session to ask any outstanding questions so you can turn up feeling totally prepared, ready to have an amazing time with the WU crew.
