We have some exciting news; recreational parks have received directive from the Ontario Government that they will be able to open their doors starting Saturday May 16th.  We are excited to finally get our 50th season started and to welcome our campers back into the park. However, to ensure the safe...

Dear Ravine Family,

We hope that everyone is remaining safe and well during this time.

We have received numerous e-mails and calls about the opening date of the campground, as of right now the park will NOT BE OPENING on May 1st, 2020. This means that Ravine Cottages will NOT be starting the new season this upcoming Friday and will REMAIN CLOSED. We understand that this is disappointing to many of our valued campers; we were excited to get the season started as well. We do not have a date for when the campground will be able to be open as of yet, but will continue to monitor the situation and listen to government directives.

To our snowbirds with no other Canadian residency, on April 16th the Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing released a directive stating that seasonal campgrounds that are in compliance with section 3.1 of Schedule 3 can be open to individuals who do not have another residence or accommodation. To be allowed entry into the park, snowbirds must have a self-sufficient trailer (i.e. water, hydro, septic) as well as documents demonstrating that they have of no other permanent residence. We ask that you contact management by phone or e-mail before entering the park to ensure that everything is set up prior to your arrival. If you are coming in from out of country, please follow the government mandated 14 day quarantine and remain in your trailer.

For the rest of you we hope that the emergency directive is lifted soon. In the meantime, we are busy preparing the campground so that when we receive the green light from the government we are ready to open our doors.

Dear Ravine Family,

We hope that everyone is continuing to stay well and safe. We understand that you are all looking forward to the upcoming 2020 season, and we are too. Importantly, we would like to remind our valued campers that Ravine Cottages is not yet open. In the meantime, we are working hard to ensure that we are able to open the campground safely. To do this, we need your cooperation.

As per government guidelines, we are asking everyone to please stay at home and not visit the campground. We are doing this to align with the Ontario government's mandate to close public spaces and non-essential businesses, including seasonal campgrounds. If there is something that you need from your trailer/RV/mobile before the campground opens, we are asking that you please contact management to assist you. We are focused on preparing the park for the upcoming season, however, our first priority is the safety and wellbeing of our campers as well as doing our part in slowing the spread of COVID-19.

We are hoping to be able to open the campground by May 1st, however, it is not clear at this time when the government mandated closure of non-essential businesses will be lifted. We will continue to monitor the situation, and we look forward to welcoming all of you when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.

Dear Ravine Family,

We hope that everyone is well and staying safe during these uncertain times.

With our season quickly approaching, we are sure that there are lots of questions as to the opening date of the park. As of today, the park opening remains May 1, 2020. However since the situation with the COVID-19 virus is fluid this may change. For our Snowbirds without another home in the vicinity, we are hoping to have the park ready for you a week to two weeks early if needed. This however remains weather permitting and dependent on when we are able to turn on the water. At this time we will be following the directives of federal, provincial and municipal authorities in our decisions i.e. closure of public areas. Social distancing is required and if you have recently returned from out of country please maintain a 14 day quarantine period. The health and wellbeing of all of our residents remains our top priority.

Please keep checking back to our page https://www.facebook.com/ravinecottages/ or our website www.ravinecottages.com for weekly updates. If you have any further questions feel free to contact us at [email protected] or at (519) 738-2620 .

We look forward to another great season. See you in May.

Stay safe and well.
