Can_38 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Unfortunately my inlaws have found themselves in a rough patch and need to sell their farm. To eliminate any potential issues they need to remove their older (1980 something) but in great shape trailer off the property. I thought to help them out I'd take it off there hands if I could find a park that will accept an older model trailer. Anyone know or recommend a park? I'd prefer for maximum value to not travel any further then 2 hours from Whitby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Tons of trailer parks here in Quinte. I would start Googling and making calls. A lot of resorts also have permanent/semi permanent trailer sections... Perfectvu immediately comes to mind. I know there are several here in the Brighton area around Barcovan... Names escape me however.... As I don't visit them.... But they are there, well within your 2 hours of Whitby and some great fishing to be had.

bigbuck Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Most parks do not accept a trailer more than 10 years old. That said, it does not hurt to ask. You have all of the Kawarthas within an hour and a half of you. Quinte is about two hours away as well. Honey Harbour, the Muskokas, etc.... your bigest issue is the age of it. But it never hurts to call around and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can_38 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I know the age will narrow my search, hence the help from fellow board members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense to have an year limit G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky or Specks Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Meaning I looked all over in Southern Ontario didn't find any. Lots of crown land to squat one on up north like everybody else does though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Not to take away from the thread, But if you "squat" as you call it, do you have to move the trailer everyso often? Like a shack Hope it all works out for ya's Edited March 2, 2015 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can_38 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Squat on doesn't sound appealing with two young ones who would prefer the company of other wee ones to play with. Actually it doesn't sound appealing at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanD Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Maybe check out Provincial Parks or conservation areas? They may not have all the amenities as a private park; but I don't think there's a trailer age restriction? Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister G Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I know the age will narrow my search, hence the help from fellow board members. Although many trailer parks will have that 10 year age restriction, most will allow a real nice older trailer in. Always contact the park your interested in and tell them it's in new like condition. They will probably ask you to send them a photo of said trailer. This 10 year rule is to keep the JUNK trailers from taking over the park, not to actually prevent older trailer owners from enjoying their park.

MisterG, Another point on this matter is that some trailer parks are also heavily into the "New" trailer sales business. Hence, the restriction on age. They prefer to keep their precious sites to sell new trailers to put on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davew3 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 If you are looking for a basic spot, no power, no water, then try Snookies in Shannonville. On the BOQ, has a canteen, showers, great people. Been there for years now. Just set up a water tank, a sewage storage and set to go.

Good point, but I'm sure that is the exception as most if not all the places I have been to are not in the trailer business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
