No future Campgrounds?

While we are on the topic of the Sports Park, here is a great idea. I’m guessing sometime in the next twenty years, the camp grounds along Main Street will be replaced by Brian’s downtown condos. So, why not create a municipal campground with lots along the river?

There is plenty of land out there. I’m guessing we could put together a campground similar in size to Craigleith. Perhaps a second entrance separate from the campers with a canoe launch and river front picnic areas.

Wasaga Beach has a lot of potential as a camping destination. Maybe the party planning corporation could plan it and operate it.

Food for thought.

The lack of plans for future campgrounds supports the theory that this council (mayor) wants to kill tourism.

Those expensive retirement condos aren’t going to sell for top dollar with throngs of sticky tourists hanging around the beach just in front. Take away the parking, take away the cottage courts (through recent tighter bylaws) and build on all the campgrounds. not to mention FRAM’s history of promising tourist commercial and deliberately not delivering (Collingwood).
