Welcome to Willow Lake Campground and RV Park! We are your owners and hosts, Mark and Melanie, and we are glad to see you here! We have had a love and passion for camping for years, and whether it was just the two of us and our dog Chewbacca, or we had our son James along with us, on Monday's, it wasn't uncommon for us to be doing laundry that smelled like a campfire. And over the years, we always talked about packing up the city and corporate life and doing something on our own, and it was common for us to have these discussions about our dream while we were by a campfire at various campgrounds across Ontario. Then, like a lightbulb that went off, we said, 'well, why wouldn't we do this, own a campground!' And that began our search for the perfect campground, and guess what... in 2017 we found it! So pull up a camp-chair next to the fire, and let us tell you all about Willow Lake Campground and RV Park in Woodstock Ontario!

Situated at the top of the campground there are four cabins, the Purple, Blue, Red and Orange cabins. Think of them as a wooden tent, except that unlike a normal tent, they keep you dry and warm, have real beds and electric lights. Each cabin sleeps three to four persons and are equipped with a set of bunk beds with a double on the bottom and single on top. The Purple Cabin can also fit a single cot as well, let us know if you need the cot. Propane BBQ at each cabin, as well as a fire pit located just outside your cabin to cook over a wood fire. Clean washrooms are just a short walk away. And as linens aren't supplied, don't forget to bring your linens or sleeping bags from home! And unfortunately pets are not permitted in the cabins, sorry to our 4 legged friends!

Please read this Code of Conduct (the Code) and review it with all family members. The rules in this Code must be followed to ensure we all stay safe and do not engage in activities that contravene any Provincial or Federal Government and Health regulations.
The Code is over and above our normal campground rules, which still apply. Strict enforcement of all rules will be in place for all registered names on your occupancy agreement. Any camper, regardless of age who breaches this Code will be asked to leave the campground immediately and your Reservation or License of Occupation will be cancelled immediately.
If you have a fever or flu-type symptoms, stay home. If you have tested positive for COVID-19, are a presumptive case, or have been in contact with anyone who has tested positive or is a presumptive case, we request that you do not attempt to enter the campground. Please remain at your residence until you have been cleared by your local health department and/or you have finished your self-isolation of 14 days.
If you are returning from travel from outside of the Province of Ontario, do not plan to visit the campground for a period of 14 days and please remain home.
At this time, we will be operating under the following rules. These rules may change as the Ontario Government amends legislation.

FAQ's
This year being so unique, we are getting a number of calls for very specific questions, so we thought we would also post them on our website to answer some of the more commonly asked questions.
-Is your pool and playground open? Yes, we were able to open it as soon as the government allowed.
-Do you have tenting? No, unfortunately there is no tenting occurring this year.
-Are your washrooms open? No, during this time, we are not opening our public washrooms.
-Do you have Seasonal spots for next year? At this point, all our seasonal sites are sold out for next year unfortunately. We do it by invitation based on families that have camped with us through the season, that way we get to know the campers a little bit, and they get to know our park a little bit. We usually choose our seasonal campers through the previous season so at this time we have already selected the seasonals that will be filling the vacancies we have for the 2021 season.
-Do you have any year-round homes/trailers for sale? At this point, none of our year-round park models are for sale. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for any new listings that come up.
-Do you have space to put in a year-round trailer? Our overnight section of our campground is not winterized, so unfortunately we don’t have any spots where a year round trailer can be placed. And we have no additional or vacant lots for new park-models.
-Are you a Good Sam park? We are no longer a Good Sam park, as quite honestly, the cost for us to participate and be a member was very expensive for a small park to be part of, thats even prior to any discounts given. Sorry.
