Bear Policy

Campers Shall Not:

• leave garbage and recyclables at camp sites. All garbage and recyclables shall be disposed of immediately in the appropriate bins near the campground office;
• leave coolers and food out at campsite or in tents.  Food and coolers shall be stored in a vehicle, locked with the windows up at all times or in designated food storage lockers if available;
• leave pet food outdoors;
• burn food scraps in their fire pit;
• possess bird feeders (seasonal campers); or
• neglect to clean BBQ’s regularly including the grill and emptying and cleaning the grease trap.

A breach of a campground policy will result in a warning.  If a camper/patron must be addressed a second time for breaching a campground policy, the camper/patron will be dismissed from the campground without any financial compensation. This is in accordance with a Garrison Petawawa Administrative Order (BAI 6.007 Annex G, Appendix 6A).
