General Guidelines

  • Firewood may NOT be brought into Black River Wilderness Park. Help protect our forests. The movement of firewood poses a substantial risk to our park and the Rama First Nation economy and environment. Transporting firewood may seem harmless but can lead to the spread of pests such as insects, plants and diseases. We do not use any chemical pesticides making an invasive species a true threat to our park and First Nation lands. Attention: Be aware of movement restrictions. Moving firewood from places where regulated pests have been found can be a violation of the Plant Protection Act, with penalties of up to $50,000 and/or prosecution.
  • All persons entering the campgrounds and using the facilities do so at their own risk.
  • Registered guests are personally responsible for the conduct of their children and visitors. Children under the age of 8 must be accompanied to the washrooms.
  • Children under the age of 18 have an 11pm curfew and no riding bikes after dusk. Helmets must be worn when cycling.
  • Pets are allowed throughout the park.  Pets must be kept on-leash at all times.  Please clean up after your pet.  Leaving your pet unattended is unacceptable.  Zero tolerance policy for dogs off-leash.    
  • No pets allowed in the Yurts or Tipis.

  • Be responsible with your garbage – Reduce – Reuse – Recycle:  Please help to keep the park clean. Put your garbage in a bag and take it to the dumpster behind the office. Do not allow children to dispose of garbage in the dumpster as the lid is heavy and children cannot reach.  Whenever possible, use refillable containers for food and water bottles.  Please deposit recyclables in the appropriate bins near the washrooms and pavilion.

Music and voice levels, etc. should be kept at a reasonable level at all times of the day and night. There is an 11pm curfew on music.  Violation of the above will result in your camping privileges being revoked.
