Pets are absolutely loved at the Brighton KOA.  We have a large fenced in Kamp K9, dog park area with toys and doggie bags to help make play with your pet fun and clean.  We ask that dogs must be on leash at all times anywhere on the campground unless inside your cabin, tent or trailer or within the Kamp K9 dog park.  There is a fee for pets which varies by site.  Accomodations are a higher amount due to more cleaning requirements.  We do not have any restrictions on breed, but we do ask if you feel your dog is less friendly or even agressive that you find alternative arrangements while your family comes camping.  If you have any questions, please call the campground 613-475-2186.

We know that gas is expensive and towing a trailer around can often be the most expensive part of your camping trips.  We've set up a program for campers who wish to camp back to back weekends to help save on the gas and the time of set up and tear down.

Book back to back camping trips.... 2 or more weekends in a row, and then for an additional fee you can leave your trailer parked and plugged in for the week in between each of the weekends you will be camping.  

The Leave your Rig program is only available for weekends in May, June, September and October.

Call for more details 613-475-2186

We request that you do not bring your own wood onto the campground as we'd like to avoid the transportation of Bugs. 

We have firewood available for purchase at the campground.

Every site is allowed one vehicle in addition to the Motorhome or Trailer.  The base rate for each site is 4 people with the exception of the cabins that sleep 6 in which case the base rate for those is 6.

For a visitor's day pass it is $15/person over the age of 5. If there is an extra vehicle there is a $20 charge - which includes the car and 1 adult.

Our mission is that you will never hear "Mom I'm bored".

Hi! It's Jackie. I bought this KOA with Jason back in 2015. I had grown up camping with my
family – at least once a year – almost always at Sandbanks Provincial Park. So this region
is very dear to my heart. Jason had never been camping in his life, but was very willing to
jump into an exciting new venture. We moved here when our sons Caleb and Isaac were
only 3 and 1 years old. Year one was a tremendous challenge learning how to manage a
campground infrastructure and how the software worked and still take care of two toddlers.
We had to take water treatment courses and learn so much about how electricity works and
don't even ask me to talk about how much I know about poop now!

Watching our kids grow up here has truly helped us to be aware when things need to
change. The new Basketball court that we added in 2023 for example was something one
of our sons had been asking for because as he aged he wanted an activity that felt suitable
for a “preteen”. Just playing grounders on the playground wasn't cutting it anymore. Caleb is now 14 and Isaac is 11.
They have very different entertainment needs than they did when they were very little. WIFI Upgrades being another
thing we invested a great deal of money in to – even though so many people think that wifi shouldn't be necessary
at a campground. It IS according to my boys! I'm grateful for all the additional feedback we have received from our
regular campers over the years as well – helping us to know what their kids are asking for as they grow. All while still
remembering our families that are camping with new kids – we haven't forgotten about them which is why we keep the
pool heated slightly warmer so the tiny swimmers don't get too cold too fast. We employ several activities staff to help
keep the kids happy and entertained with a variety of different activities tailored to different age groups. We hope we
have something for everyone – but we are always open to more suggestions!

Jason helped me run this KOA for 10 seasons and worked incredibly hard to help me take this KOA that was aging and
in need of repair to the KOA we have today, one in which we are very proud. We have since gotten a divorce and Jason
has moved away, but Jason's hard work and dedication will continue to be remembered by all the staff and campers
that return every year. And he is still a very dear friend to me so willing to take any call when I need help. I will work
extremely hard over the next 10 years and beyond to keep this KOA improving. I am very grateful to our campers and I
thank you for trusting us with your cherished family time. If you see me out and about, please say hi.
