If you’ve visited us recently, you may have noticed we have a new gate system!
 
Here’s how to use our New Gate System:
 
➡️ The Right Lane is our “Express Lane” and can be used if you have:
 
• A swipe card
 
• A mirror hanger with a barcode*
 
• A printed barcode
 
*if you have a mirror hanger without a barcode, please stop at the customer service lane for your new barcode✨
 
⬅️ The Left Lane is our “Customer Service Lane” and can be used if you:
 
• Do not have a pass and would like to purchase a day pass or membership pass
 
• Are coming to camp and do not have your barcode yet
 
• Need to speak to a Customer Service Representative
 
• Have any questions
 
During the camping season, the gatehouse is open between 6:00 am to 10:00 pm Sunday - Thursday and 6:00 am - 12:00 am Friday and Saturday, unless otherwise posted.
 
If you are unsure of which lane to use, please use the left lane and we’d be happy to assist!😊
 
To Exit:

* Drive all the way up to the gate and it will automatically open. 
 
* If there is a vehicle in front of you, you do not need to wait for the gate to fully close before you leave (exit only)
 
Please use caution when entering and exiting our parks.
 
Thank you for your patience as we role this new system out.

We hope to see you back soon! 👋

🎉 Happy National Leave Work Early Day! 🎉 The annual holiday was founded to raise awareness of the benefits of increased productivity in the workplace and demonstrate how making small adjustments in the way we approach our work dramatically improve our work results, allowing workers to be more productive while in the office and spend fewer hours in the office. Who are we to argue with that?! Wildwood CA is here to help you celebrate accordingly 😉

Who knew?! June is Canadian RV & Camping Month - a nationwide celebration dedicated to the RV and camping lifestyle — encouraging Canadians to get outside, explore, and experience everything the great outdoors has to offer. 😃✨⛺

Throughout June, the campaign shines a spotlight on camping culture, outdoor travel, and the communities built around it, from coast to coast. Celebrate with us by camping for a couple nights OR joining us as a Seasonal Camper! We love a reason to celebrate! 🎉

The moment we've been waiting for....the Safety Boom has been installed! We installed the safety boom in the reservoir in accordance with the Canadian Dam Association guidelines.

🚣This new safety feature creates a visible barrier, preventing reservoir users from getting too close to the dam and turbulent water zones. Safety booms are intended to reduce the risk of accidents, protect recreational users like boaters and swimmers, and increase awareness of the potential dangers associated with dam operations. Booms are an integral part of a comprehensive public safety program, as outlined in the CDA’s guidelines for managing risks around dams. 🚧

Visitors enjoying the reservoir are asked to respect the safety boom and accompanying signage. Thank you for your cooperation!
