As part of our ongoing review of campground policies and common areas, we are updating the use of the Seasonal Community Fire Pit.
Since opening the Seasonal Community Fire Pit, we have been operating based on our understanding of the applicable requirements. Following a further review of our legal obligations, insurance requirements, and the terms of our License of Occupation, we have determined that additional restrictions are necessary to ensure the area is operated appropriately.
Effective immediately, the Seasonal Community Fire Pit is not available for general use and will be opened only for campground-organized events or during a Restricted Fire Zone (fire ban) for seasonal guests whose campsite fire pits cannot be used due to the restrictions in effect.
We would also like to remind everyone that, in accordance with our Park Rules, License of Occupation, and applicable Ontario legislation, alcohol is prohibited in all communal areas of the campground. As a result, the Seasonal Community Fire Pit is an alcohol-free area at all times, including during campground-organized events and while it is available for use during a Restricted Fire Zone.
Guests wishing to consume alcohol may continue to do so only at their own registered campsite or while visiting another registered campsite as an invited guest, in accordance with the Park Rules and License of Occupation. When transporting alcohol between registered campsites, all alcoholic beverages must remain closed and unopened while travelling through roads or other common areas. Open alcoholic beverages may not be carried or consumed outside a registered campsite.
After carefully reviewing our legal obligations, insurance requirements, and operating policies, these changes are necessary to protect both our guests and the campground while ensuring our policies remain consistent and enforceable.
We appreciate everyone’s patience, understanding, and cooperation as we move forward with these updates. Thank you for helping us keep Lazy Rock a safe and enjoyable place for everyone.
