Pinery

About Pinery

Pinery protects rare oak savanna, freshwater dunes, the Old Ausable Channel, and a long Lake Huron beach. Shortlist it when you want beach days, sunsets, paddling, and one of Ontario's most distinctive ecosystems, especially if the setting itself matters as much as the available date. Pinery sits in southwestern Ontario and is managed through Ontario Parks. With 986 indexed sites, it has a large camping inventory, so date flexibility can matter a lot during peak weekends and school-holiday windows. The best trip fit is usually decided by the landscape first: water, trails, beaches, cliffs, quiet forest, or simple proximity to the region you already want to explore. Because it is part of the Ontario Parks system, the final booking rules, fees, alerts, and permit details still belong on the official Ontario Parks side. For planning, scan the setting and current availability here first, then confirm final details with the operator once the park feels like the right match.
