Announcing HorseCountry Campground At Wilderness Tours Resort

Canada’s premier outdoor adventure resort teams with HorseCountry Campground to develop a ‘horse playground’ for the Ottawa region.

(Ottawa, Ontario) – HorseCountry Campground ‘Wilderness Tours’ will officially open this summer with an exciting new campground offering catering to the regional equine community with Grand Opening celebrations planned for July 12-14. The membership based campground will offer a combination of equine recreational activities in the setting of Canada’s premier outdoor resort.

HorseCountry Campground will feature access to over 35 kilometers of established trail systems for pleasure riding and ‘community ride’ programs, a 20 point obstacle course, recreation area and special events. HorseCountry Campground members will also have access to the spectacular Wilderness Tours Resort amenities including beach, hot tub, Rafter’s restaurant and more. Members will also receive discounts on all Wilderness Tours Resort services including world famous white water rafting and kayaking adventure packages, cabin rentals, bungee jumping and much more. 

The longer term vision for HorseCountry Campground is to develop a world-class equine tourism destination in the heart of the Ottawa Valley including boarding facilities, training school, fully functional Cowboy Town tourism attraction, stage coach rides and equine-focused residential home development.

Each HorseCountry campsite is specifically designed to accommodate and welcome horse owners. Each campsite includes a small corral and fire pit. Members can customize their campsite by adding items such as perimeter ‘split rail’ fencing and personalized entrance with ample space for parking vehicles and trailers. Community activities such as weekend trail rides and campfire sing-a-longs help establish a community built around the common passion for horses and recreational activities with your horse.

“HorseCountry Campground is a welcome addition to our resort enabling us to add an outstanding tourism product specifically tailored to the horse community” said Joe Kowalski, Founder of Wilderness Tours. “HorseCountry aligns with our mission to preserve and protect this last pristine section of the Ottawa River and we encourage the horse community to come experience this beautiful property featuring our extensive trail system and spectacular views of the Ottawa River”, added Kowalski.

Wilderness Tours resort is Canada’s number one adventure resort destination since 1975, located an hour west of Canada’s Capital Ottawa. The sprawling 5,800 acre resort located along a pristine section of the Ottawa River is the ideal destination for HorseCountry Campground.

“We are very excited about establishing a HorseCountry Campground at Wilderness Tours Resort being it is such a fantastic location offering a full array of services and activities available for campground members”, said Walter Willett, Partner HorseCountry Campground. Added Willett, “we look forward to encouraging the regional horse community to visit HorseCountry Campground and to join us in sharing and enjoying this new equine tourism destination in the Ottawa Valley”.
