Minimize the risk of tick bites, be prepared. Cover exposed skin and your scalp/hair. Apply a DEET-based insect repellent to your skin. Apply an insect repellent with permethrin to your clothes, but never on your skin. After the hike, wipe your whole out with medium size towel to remove any bugs left sticking on your clothes, skin, hair, scalp, socks, shoes. Wash/rinse your skin and scalp to get rid of any loosely attached ticks.

This was once upon a time a beautiful little National park, I used to come here as a kid and have many fond memories of this place. It baffles me and bothers me to this day thinking about and wondering what is really going on behind that fence. Who's back there? Why has the park been "UNDER CONSTRUCTION" for 5 or 6 years yet with no contractors ever going in and out and no work ever being done. This is the only national park with campground that was actually accessible to people who lived in the city and did not drive or could not manage long commutes. Something needs to be done about this. I think it's about time that we find out what's really going on here and get some answers.

I am very happy with Rouge Camp. My daughter says it's the best camp in the world. I agree. Her head coucelor is a grade 1 teacher and she has 2 other counselors as well. It is well organized and fun!

The place itself is good and kids like it. The problem is that parking spaces are limited compare to visitors. Many people try to cut lines for parking space. It seems that fewer polite people here, but a lot of rude uneducated people.

What a gorgeous hike we had today. So much more to discover as we only went in 3km and back out due to the time we started our walk. We will be back for sure earlier in the day for a longer journey.

Very beautiful fall colours in town. Gives a feel of somewhere quite far. The stairs at the trail at glen rouge campground are also very beautiful. Have been here both in summer and fall and this place never lets you down. Glen Rouge campground is closed for 2020 but the parking lot is open for the trail. Beautiful place in GTA for hike lovers!! Parking space can surely be increased as people had to wait for someone to leave to find a space. Since this place is so beautiful, additional parking would definitely be plus.

What a nice small campground in the city. Glen Rouge is a national park which is under the care of the federal government. You will find Trailers, tents and camp cabins in the campground. There is one comfort station for the whole campground. It was decent place - clean and quiet.

Not bad for 'camping in the city'. Very gracious customer service at front desk, but not very personable park rangers. Rouge River has very easy hiking trails and the water is calm and not too deep. Community facilities are minimal, but includes firewood for sale, public washing sinks, playground, and showers.

On the border of Toronto & Pickering. A fantastic place to get outdoors & hike. All the trails intertwine with one another. And your GPS on phone shows the trails so you can't get lost. Saw a mother deer ones. From the Rouge Valley entrance to Meadowvalve road is a 2 hr hike one way. Lots of paths to turn around if you want a short hike. Highly recommend. Much Love. Bless
