Visiting Ontario PArks
Get the best Ontario Parks experience during your stay by reserving your daily vehicle permit to skip the line and the worry!
Imagine packing your family into your car to have a beach day at one of the Ontario Parks, taking the time to drive there, and then getting turned away because the park is at capacity...
We offer one Ontario Parks Pass for each suite, that you can use to reserve your spot for the day at Sandbanks or any other local provincial park up to five days in advance.
Reserving your spot in the park will ensure you aren't turned away, and it speeds up the line to get in.

Sandbanks and North Beach are both about 35 minutes away by car, mostly through the beautiful Prince Edward County, and the place comes with a complimentary pass to the beaches. Make sure you reserve your parking spots in advance of your trips to the beach or you will be turned away. Information to reserve your parking spots can be found on the Ontario Provincial parks website. Sharon is a great host. She responded within minutes of any query we had, and is really friendly -- and helpful.

Are the Provincial Parks usually busy enough to turn you away if you don't have an advanced reservation?
During the busy summer months when it's hot and sunny, the park is usually at capacity very early, so the best thing you can do is to book in advance, and with the passes we offer, you don't have to pay to access the park.
Is there anything I need to know about the Parks Pass?
We offer the use of our park passes as a perk of staying with us. It's important to us that our guests enjoy their time in the area, so we encourage everyone to make use of all that we have to offer.
Please leave the park pass in the suite where you found it when you leave, to avoid being charged a replacement fee.
