If we run out of sites we will add additional spots in the same general area.

MOPAR CANADIAN NATIONALS now Aug 4-6th 2017.

Sorry for the delay in posting this notice but we needed to wait until some confirmations were received before we could post it. We were not able to keep the MCN on the original June date for a number of reasons, and a July date was not available, so we have moved the event to the Civic holiday weekend Aug 4th-6th. The event remains in the prime summer season in Grand Bend so camping and all the great amenities the Grand Bend area have to offer are still available. Good weather should not be an issue, but it will most likely be a little warmer than the end of June.

Tickets for the event including any open Motorhome spots and rsvd seats go on sale shortly.( by the end of this week May 5th – We are just working out a few issues with our online provider).

Windsor Weekend will be Aug 19-21st – see schedule page for all the 2017 drag events
