Mille Roche Campground & Mille Roches Beach & Day Use Area Revitalization

Mille Roches Campground & Day‑Use Area Revitalization

Project Overview

The St. Lawrence Parks Commission is undertaking a major restoration of Mille Roches Campground and the Mille Roches Beach & Day‑Use Area on the Long Sault Parkway. These improvements are part of a broader project designed to modernize essential infrastructure, enhance guest amenities, and support the long‑term environmental sustainability of SLPC parks.

These investments will deliver new, accessible gender-neutral washrooms and a new, modern trailer dump station at the campground, a new canteen with washrooms, changerooms, outdoor rinse showers and a licensed patio at the day-use area, and improved water and wastewater systems. These upgrades will enhance guest comfort, safety and accessibility in future seasons.

Construction work will begin at Mille Roches Campground and Day Use Area in spring 2026 and continue through the 2026 operating season. Both sites are expected to be operational in 2027 with the new amenities.

Ontario Investing $82 Million to Modernize Beaches and Campgrounds Along St. Lawrence Corridor

The Honourable Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming, announced a major revitalization project for Mille Roches Beach and Day Use Area during a public funding announcement held on-site at Mille Roches Beach. This initiative is part of a historic $82.2 million infrastructure investment from the Government of Ontario to the St. Lawrence Parks Commission, aimed at enhancing visitor experiences and supporting tourism across the province.

The Mille Roches project will focus on improving accessibility, modernizing amenities, and preserving the natural beauty of this much-loved waterfront destination. Planned upgrades include renovated washroom and change facilities, enhanced picnic and play areas, improved shoreline access, more efficient traffic flow, and a new waterfront café that will offer fresh, local fare in a beautiful setting, perfectly complementing the beach experience. 

Construction is scheduled to begin in fall 2025. We will continue to provide updates on the project’s progress through to completion, as we work to ensure Mille Roches remains a vibrant, welcoming, and sustainable destination for years to come.
