One of the best parts about camping in Killarney is the breathtakingly clear night sky. Seeing these magnificent skies is one thing, but capturing them adds a whole other level to the experience.

Here's our top tips for night sky photography:

As a dark sky preserve, Killarney has amazing stargazing!

Our favourite spot is Main Beach! From seeing the aurora's, to spotting constellations, or just staring into the Milky Way, you can truly see it all!

Head over to the main beach to do some stargazing 🔭

We are currently experiencing a park wide power outage. The comfort station is closed until power is restored. Campground privies remain open and potable water is available from all water taps.

We will share an update when power is restored. Thank you for your patience.

We all know Ontario’s provincial parks aim to protect our natural landscapes and species. But did you know that each individual park is protected for its own (often very specific) reasons?

June is here, bringing with it the arrival of luna moths! 🦋

The luna moth’s striking green wings with a brown edge help it blend in among tree leaves. Disguised as a leafy twig, luna moths can be tricky to spot 🌿

Have you ever seen a luna moth? 🔎
