The Issue

Mooretown Campground has been an integral part of our community for decades. It is a sanctuary where families from Mooretown, Ontario, and beyond, come to enjoy the natural beauty and serenity it offers. Generations have created lasting memories here, bonding over campfires, exploring the nearby trails, and appreciating the starry nights away from the city buzz.

However, there is a looming threat that this beloved campground might be closed permanently. The closure decision comes amidst economic pressures and talks about repurposing the land. But we must not lose sight of the immense value Mooretown Campground provides—not only as a recreational facility but as a cornerstone of our cultural and community heritage.

Every summer, the campground comes alive with the sounds of children playing, families laughing, and nature at its most vibrant. It is more than just a place for recreation; it is a symbol of our community’s unity and resilience, representing a shared past and our hope for the future.

Closing the campground would mean losing a crucial part of what makes Mooretown, Ontario, special. It would take away an affordable, accessible retreat for young families, seniors, and everyone in between who relies on this green space for leisure and relaxation.

Instead of closure, we propose exploring alternative solutions. These could include community fundraising events, partnerships with local businesses, or government grants aimed at maintaining and preserving natural spaces like Mooretown Campground. Investment in this campground is an investment in the community's wellbeing and environmental stewardship.

Help us preserve this cherished landmark. By signing this petition, you are standing up for the countless families who have enjoyed its beauty and advocating for its continued enjoyment by future generations, keeping Mooretown Campground open and thriving. Together, let’s ensure that this treasured space remains a centerpiece of community life in Mooretown for decades to come. Sign this petition to urge our local authorities to find a way to keep Mooretown Campground open.
