Nestled deep within the heart of Carolinian Canada lies Ontario's second oldest Provincial Park. Formed in 1894, Rondeau Provincial Park remains one of the crown jewels of the Ontario Parks system. Rondeau's Carolinian forests are home to such southern species as Tulip-tree, Sassafras, Virginia Oppossum, Yellow-breasted Chat and the endangered Prothonotary Warbler. Rondeau is unique in the amount of this rare habitat that it protects - no other provincial park in Ontario holds as much.

Formed by the erosion and deposition of sand and gravel, the Rondeau peninsula constitutes one of North America's best examples of a Cuspate Sandspit. The resulting peninsula is now a 3254 ha Natural Environment park, and extends almost 8 km out into Lake Erie, and forms a protected bay. The Rondeau peninsula combined with Rondeau bay, attract migrating birds throughout the spring and fall, resulting in some of the best bird watching in Ontario! Beginning with Tundra Swans in March and continuing through May with waves of Warblers, this is truly a birders paradise!

Rondeau offers campers their choice of 262 campsites (152 electrical), all of which are just a short walk from extensive sand beaches and great swimming. There are six hiking trails to explore (one which is wheel-chair accessible), a protected bay for canoeing and boating and excellent fishing opportunities. Join a park naturalist for a hike or evening program, and explore the Visitor Centre which is open year-round. No matter what your interests, Rondeau has something for you. Campground facilities include comfort stations, showers, picnic tables, and a laundry room.

Visit us for a camping weekend, a day of bird watching or your summer vacation. The park is open year-round for day use activities including hiking, skiing, bird watching, canoeing and many other activities; and for camping from April 1st to the last Sunday in October.
