You’re in luck! The Jack Pine Conservation Estate is the only location permitted for camping within the Kaladar Jack Pine Barren Reserve! Conservation reserves have a different management focus than areas with designated camping, and general camping is prohibited in conservation reserves that do not have specific campsites or management plans allowing it. The area is managed for limited recreational activities like hunting, and general camping is restricted to protect its natural values.
The Jack Pine Conservation Estate has prepared designated campsites for our guests who have a special interest in experiencing the landscape through our 188-acre parcel. Please refer to our Campsite Management Plan here which will expand on our rules and regulations for visitors.

Smoking & Vaping - Smoking and vaping are prohibited in all roofed accommodations. Cigarette must be properly disposed of or a littering fine will be issued.
Alcohol - Alcohol is prohibited in all day use facilities.
Parking - Parking for one vehicle is included with your campsite permit. Additional vehicle permits must be purchased for all other vehicles when you check-in. They may need to be parked in a separate designated parking area away from your roofed accommodation.
Washrooms – There are currently only outhouses on the premise until construction is completed. All waste must be properly disposed of and not left behind. Digging a hole for fecal matter is not permitted and is a fineable offence. Sewage for trailers must be taken to a nearby facility and cannot be disposed of on the premise.
Deposits - Bookings are non-refundable if dates are incorrectly picked or if you are unable to attend for any reason. A deposit may be held until departure and returned for damages.
Age Requirements - The campsite permit holder must be sixteen years of age or older.
Foraging - Foraging is prohibited in Jack Pine Conservation Estate to protect their ecological integrity unless by special event through our staff. This includes picking plants, mushrooms, or other natural objects, and carries a minimum fine of $155 for removing or harming a plant. You can forage in other areas, such as Crown Land, but with restriction.
Removing Natural Objects - Don’t: collect rocks, shells, flowers, etc. to keep as souvenirs. It is important to leave these natural objects where they are so that others can enjoy them
Wildlife - Don’t: approach wildlife. They may react defensively and they also gradually lose their natural fear of people. This creates a dangerous situation for you, the animal, and other visitors that it encounters.
