Booking for the 2024 season at the Victoria Park Campground in Cobourg will open Tuesday at 9 a.m.

The new online reservation system provides a modernized approach to booking, where visitors can select their preferred campsite and pay online via credit card. It is also more equitable for visitors, as previously staff manually approved each booking and had to go through a waiting list.

Once on the website, users will follow these steps:

• If you have not done so already, create an account with an email address and a

password.

• Once logged in, select “Make a Reservation” from the main menu.

• Ensure your arrival and departure dates are correct and click “Check Availability.”

• Using the digital map, click on your campsite of choice, then click “Add to Cart.”

• Sites that show up green on the map are available, yellow are pending (meaning they are currently in another user’s cart), and red is unavailable.

• Visit your Cart to checkout and input your credit card or Google Pay information.

• Click “Pay” to complete your order. After processing, a confirmation will be sent to your email.

• Users will be given 15 minutes to complete their booking. Once that time has lapsed, all items in their digital shopping cart will be released.

The Victoria Park Campground will open on May 17 for the summer season. Reservations are accepted up to five months (plus seven days) in advance of your arrival date. Therefore, those who register on January 23 can book dates from May 17 (Opening Day) up until June 30 but will not have access to any dates later in the summer at this time.

To ensure fair access to the campground, a maximum of seven days can be reserved at one time. Additional dates can be booked throughout the summer, however, must be reserved through separate transactions. A total of four bookings can be added to the digital shopping cart. (e.g. Four consecutive seven day bookings, or four separate camping sites).

Check in and check out time is 11 a.m. for all sites. There is a reservation fee of $14.37 including tax for each booking, which is non-refundable but will be held on account if a reservation is modified.
