Camping

Overnight camping was eliminated due to cuts in 2012 and park is no longer listed on the Ontario Parks website.[5]

As of 2015 Tidewater is again listed on the Ontario Parks website and pamphlets are displayed at Provincial Parks promoting Tidewater as a destination. Though the park is operational, it only consists of 20 tent sites that are available on a first-come-first-served basis.

gollark: Multiplatform access is hardly an amazing thing given that open platforms tend to have perfectly good web clients. There are ones for XMPP and IRC.
