Drinking Anywhere In Ontario Parks
Episode 37
Monday, 8 June, 2026
Send us Fan MailOntario just opened the door to drinking throughout provincial parks, not only at your own campsite, and we can’t stop thinking about what that changes on the ground. We’re Pamela and Tim from Supergoodcamping.com, and while we understand the appeal of relaxing outdoors, we’re worried the new Ontario Parks alcohol rules will bring more than “summer vibes.” When alcohol shows up on trails, at busy beaches, and around launch points, it can shift a park from peaceful to unpredictable, especially for families who come for quiet, nature, and a sense of shared respect. We dig into the government’s stated reasons like boosting tourism and supporting the economy, then pressure-test that logic against a reality most campers know well: Ontario Parks reservations are already hard to get and many parks are sold out months ahead. We also talk about what the old campsite restriction meant in practice, what “responsible consumption” looks like in a provincial park setting, and why permission structures matter even if many people already bend the rules. From broken glass and litter to swimming and paddling while impaired, we lay out the safety risks that can show up fast in day-use areas. Then we get into the part that really worries us: enforcement and emergency response. Park rangers are already stretched, some park offices are closing, and rural EMS and hospitals can be far away. If drinking expands but resources don’t, who keeps people safe and who cleans up the mess? Listen through, then tell us where you land on this change.
