As of November 1, 2025, the Township of Selwyn has assumed management of the Lakefield Campground, following a successful transition from Otonabee Conservation (ORCA).
The Township is excited to take on the stewardship of these beautiful grounds. In preparation for the changeover, staff have been hard at work developing new marketing materials, launching an online booking system, and updating seasonal agreements, rates, and campground rules and regulations to enhance the experience for all campers.
