Camping rates going up due to HST

It's going to cost a bit more to camp in a provincial park this summer.


Starting July 1st the harmonized sales tax will be tacked on to the cost of renting a camp site.

Ontario Parks Spokesperson Bruce Van Stalldinen says they don't think the extra tax will impact reservations.

The cost to rent a camp site ranges from 25 to 40 dollars.

The extra tax could mean an extra dollar sixty to three dollars on the final total.
