APRIL 4,2020
Dear Campers,
Following the restrictions set forth from the Ontario Government and Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health, River Place Campground Ltd. will remain closed until April 30, at which time we will re-assess based on the direction from the government and health officials.
This was not our choice to make. The updated list of essential businesses that can remain open in response to COVID-19 was released April 3, 2020 [SOURCE]. Seasonal Campgrounds are not considered an essential service and so we must keep the facility closed to the public. The restrictions are aimed at further reducing contact between people and stopping the spread of COVID-19.
As per your camping contract, please remember the camping season is from May 15 to October 15. Right now, all the buildings on the property including all the offices are closed until April 30 and the entrance has been blocked. If you need to check your trailer or pick something up, you can do so and then leave but note that you will have to park your car and walk in from the main office. We are not allowing anyone to stay at their trailers for an extended period or overnight (River Place will monitor this)
As things change we will provide further updates. We suggest that you keep checking our web page going forward for the most up-to-date information.
At this time:
1. Practise social and physical distancing by staying home and planning your camping season from the comfort of your couch
2. Campground is closed (we are discouraging you from coming up to your trailers)
3. Washrooms & Laundry rooms are closed
4. Water is off

MARCH 25, 2020
Dear Campers,
In our previous letter (sent March 23) we shared with you that we are deferring the April 15 camping payment until July 2020. This would mean the April payment would be doubled up with July.
We have had some campers contact us that do not wish to defer the payment and continue with their monthly Direct Deposit. If you do not want to defer your April payment (and have not already contacted us) please email Michelle at info@pikelake.com at your earliest convenience. As it stands right now, unless you contact us, your April 15 payment will be deferred.
As direction and regulations from the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Government of Canada changes regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19), we will continue to re-assess our next moves. Our most recent decision is to remain closed.
We really do not know what is going to happen as we navigate this uncharted territory. We continue to monitor the situation as closely as we can and as information comes in, we will provide further updates regarding May payment and going forward. We appreciated everyone's understanding.
