Ontario CANADA, FROG Chapter

That'll give some of us a better chance to join if we can spread a few around. After all, Ontario's a big province. For example, that one you referred is twice the distance from here than it was to get to Goshen.

Absolutely! I just wanted to make sure that everyone is aware of the one coming in June. There's no problem with doing multiple events (there are two coming up in Ohio) just so they're not so close in date or location that they're fighting each other for attendance.

2015 Ontario FROG Rendez-vous
June 4, 2015 - June 7, 2015
Ferris Provincial Park
Campbellford, ON Canada

Join hosts David & Liz Wray in spacious, leafy sites, unspoiled expanses of woods, and riverbanks waiting to be explored.

Experience Ferris Provincial Park's 300-foot Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge.

Enjoy a BBQ dinner sponsored by Forest River & FROG.

Make reservations at www.reservations.ontarioparks.com or (888) ONT-PARK. Reservations open 1/4/2015. $40/night electric, $35 primitive.
To confirm or for more info, contact David & Liz at (613) 233-1322 or
Email: rpod@wray-canada.com

That is also the same weekend as the Great Lakes FMCA Area Rally.
FMCA members will have to decide between the two.
It is a lot better to many rally's then none at all.

We are in Guelph and Interested if timing works

definitely interested here too, Brantford

Now that it's the new year, I thought I'd revive this topic. I'm still interested in seeing if we can get something going in SW Ontario. I can recommend Camper's Cove (camperscove.ca) as an option, but that might be a little too far south for some of you. However it would meet most of the wants for a FROG location (fair number of sites, pavilion, etc...) I haven't tried contacting them yet, nor looked at dates as I'd rather gauge the interest first.

Or, alternatively, any other sites you all might recommend.

depending on the dates , we will be interested. it all comes down to the availability

We have been to two different rallies at the fair grounds in Blyth ON. They have a lot of room there, perhaps larger than Frog would need for the first rally in south western Ontario. I also know that some other groups have had rallies at Drayton ON. Also Green Acre park in Waterloo has many rallies. They are a full service park and are more expensive and may be hard to get into in the peak season.

Good morning Kaadak. I will be at the Toronto RV show at the International Centre, by the airport, this weekend. I will b e representing FROG at the Camp Out RV Stratford site. Any FROGS attending should stop by and visit and we can further explore your ideas. Old Guys (Brian and Joanne)

Being on the opposite side of Toronto, (from my point of reference down here in Windsor) you should definitely look into the existing Frog Campout. There's details about it on the FROG page (FROG - Forest River Owners Group). Since you're already up that way it wouldn't be a far jump for you. I wish I could make it myself, but that's too far for a weekend trip for us. That's why I'd like to see about getting a second one going, possibly late fall, maybe next spring, that's closer to the south side.

Hello, being from Western NY, I would be interested in attending.

[Catman86]

Definitely interested seeing we live about an hour from there!

Hi Brian. We would possibly be interested but we are so close it might be counter productive to take a site from a distant visitor for such a great event. That being said we may be able to help out behind the scenes if you need us. Keep us in the loop and we will see what we can do to help if we can. Good work guys. Nice to have some great Canadian FROGS to put themselves out there to try to get something like this organized. Old Guys (Brian and Joanne)

This works for me. (Not sure about DW yet though.)

Given the existing one in June, and if we're doing this one in October, maybe I'll look into the other Southwestern Ontario one in Spring of '16. I was thinking if we did it just before Victoria Day, say May 13-14-15 looking at the 2016 calendar than we can call it something like: "SW Ontario FROG Season Opener" or even better "Annual SW Ontario FROG Season Opener".

If there's interest I can try setting something up with the one site, and then we can rotate locations around SW Ontario year to year.

Hello All,

Been a week since posting details. Thanksgiving weekend is a stretch for many. I knew that when I posted the dates. Also some feedback on being too late in the season for some, all ready Winterized. There is an option for the weekend after Thanksgiving as well if Oktoberfest is something people would like.

Let us know if you have any Interest either here or by PM.

Brian

[Falcon35]

I'm still interested but after thanksgiving is really late.
