The Tottenham Conservation Area is closed for the season.
NOTICE: Camping at the Tottenham Conservation Area
Upon assessment by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP), the Tottenham Conservation Area (TCA) campgrounds do not meet compliance with the current sanitary collection system.
The Town of New Tecumseth is currently working with a consultant to determine required improvements to bring the collection system in compliance. A report detailing various options for improving the collection system will be presented to Council during a regular Council meeting in March 2025. This report will consider upgrades to the sanitary system, utilizing the Tottenham Wastewater Treatment Facility, and the feasibility of continuing camping services.
As we continue to work with the MECP and consultant to achieve compliance, we appreciate your patience and understanding. Upon Council’s review of recommendations and their direction, the Town will be able to provide an update on camping at the TCA. Until then, we will be unable to book daily or seasonal camping for summer 2025.
Future updates will be provided on this page.
