Reel Man Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hey folks, family is looking for a year-round trailer park close to Hamilton. Is anyone familiar with one? One that isn't a retirement community! Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb4me Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Near Hamilton? Don't know of any that stay open..If you don't mind a 2 hour drive Coles Point Resort allows off season camping..You have a hydro meter on your lot that you pay your own hydro. so winter camping is int an issue.. http://www.colespoint.ca/en/ check it out and give Scott a call..He has open lots this spring that wont last long..Trent and Crow rivers intersect fishing doesnt get any better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky or Specks Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 In southern ont its getting harder and harder to find 4 season trailer parks because the municipalities can't collect as much tax. So they are rezoning and bylawing them out of existence so they can feed their greedy troughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reel Man Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Ya, god forbid someone should be able to live a simpler existence and pay a little bit less for the privilege! So far I'm looking at about 40 minutes to River Bend in Guelph or 50 minutes to Steve's on Lundy's Lane in Niagara Falls. Pretty sure I don't want to live on Lundy's Lane! lol...but then it is right across from the Sundowner...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishindevil Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 It's been tried before and the insurance costs alone for the park are huge !!!! And usually no water access for the fire dept !!! To just name a few !!!! Water freeze ups sewage freeze ups the infrasctucture is not set up to work that aY !!!! Most municipal by laws have all that in place so that they can't ...... I don't even know if there is any left that do it ?? Please advise if there is !!!! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reel Man Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 I have found a few, not very many! Apparently Olympia Village has limited year-round sites too. That one is only about a 20 minute commute and I do that now to live in a crappy apartment building in the east end. So far River Bend seems to be the best bet. A 40 minute commute but it's on the water - huge selling point! I can definitely handle an extra commute if it means going home to wet a line in my backyard, fire up the grill and sit around a campfire at night!

Reel Man Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Thanks sofabed! Surprised that one didn't come up on any of my searches. Looks great, think it's my number 1 pick so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
