Municipal Burn Bans

There are currently full burn bans in place in the Municipality of Trent Lakes (where the fairground and trailer park is located) and in the neighbouring City of Kawartha Lakes and County of Haliburton. All open-air burning is prohibited. The burn ban includes (per trentlakes.ca):

  • Burning of clean wood, leaves, and brush
  • Outdoor campfires
  • Charcoal BBQs, charcoal smokers, wood smokers
  • All outdoor wood burning appliances
  • Patio torches
  • Outdoor candles
  • Fireworks and flying lanterns (prohibited on the fairgrounds)

Propane and electric cooking appliances are permitted during the burn ban.

We ask all campers to use extreme caution around your campsite, especially when using any propane appliances or generators. Do not leave any of this equipment unattended while in use. Consider keeping a fire extinguisher and bucket of water accessible in case a fire starts. Call 911 immediately if a fire is detected.

The Trent Lakes Grass and Forest Fire Index is monitored daily and is posted at the Trailer Park Office. Remember that even if the full burn ban is lifted, a daytime burn ban will still be in place between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Alcohol Policy

You and anyone else in your party must follow our rules, including those related to alcohol.

Open alcohol is permitted only on your registered campsite. Alcohol is prohibited outside of the trailer park and must not be taken onto the fairgrounds. Anyone spotted with alcohol will be directed to return to a campsite or to pour it out.

Smoke and CO Detectors

A reminder that under the Ontario Fire Code, trailers and RVs must have working smoke alarms installed, and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors are required if the trailer or RV is equipped with a fuel-burning appliance.

Ensure that you have these devices installed in your trailer or RV and that they have been tested and are working before you arrive at the trailer park.

Campsite Decorating Contest

New this year is our first ever Campsite Decorating Contest!

Decorate your campsite according to the theme "A True North Tradition - Proud to be Canadian". Visit our website (linked below) for the full details and enter online with AssistExpo.

The winner will receive a voucher for their trailer park lot fee for 2026 (a regular size lot fee) and a banner to commemorate their win. Judging to take place on Friday August 29th, weather permitting. Entries will be accepted until the end of the day on Thursday August 28th.

Program of Events and Thursday Night Special Event
