Heidi's Campground

There may already be activities planned for the high season, but if you’re looking for some evening entertainment away from base you won’t have to go far – catch a show at the Burl’s Creek concert venue or snuggle up with your honey at the Barrie Triple Drive-In Theatre, both 10 minutes’ drive from Heidi’s Campground. The waterfront cities of Barrie and Orillia are certainly worth visiting. In Orillia, poke around museums and galleries, grab the best produce at the farmers’ markets and explore the street art exhibits in the downtown area. Barrie’s a top spot for antiquing and brewing, and Heritage Estate Winery and Cidery should definitely be on your list. For a taste of Canadian history, you should be making your way to Base Borden Military Museum, the Sir Frederick Banting Museum at Banting House (the home of insulin), or the Bygone Days Heritage Village to get a feel for Canadian heritage through the decades. If you’ve got the kids with you (or even if you don’t), head to Big Curve Acres Farm – a minute’s drive from Heidi's – to spend some time at the petting zoo and to learn about horses and other farm animals, or travel the 30 minutes to Elmvale Jungle Zoo for something a little more exotic.
