If you have a handicapped sticker for your car (parking), this allows you to book campsites for 50% off at all provincial parks in Ontario, as well as admission for day visits and parking.
Editor's Note: Wow. Thanks Lisa. I didn't realize that this great discount was available!
I did further digging, and found this:
"Ontario Parks discounts camping fees for Ontario residents over the age of 65 and for Ontario residents with a disability who have a CNIB identity card or an MTO disabled persons parking permit. Ontario Senior rates have been discounted by 20%, rates for Ontario persons with disabilities by 50%."
If anyone with a disability has used this discount in our provincial parks, we'd love to hear about your experience. How well were your needs met? Would you recommend it to others?
Please add your comments below.

Ontario Provincial Parks disability discounts
Are you aware that if you have a handicap permit, your fishing licence is FREE as is if you are over 65.
You just need to have the permit with you should someone of authority ask for it.
Also parking at any parking meter in ONTARIO is free for up to three hours , only exceptions is where stipulated otherwise, ex. hospital post you must pay at meters, therefore you must in that situation

Provincial Park Camping for people with disabiities by: Will
This has to be the best perk for a person with a disability! You can reserve a site by phone using your permit number and still get the 50% off.
I have been doing this for the last 2 years and I have never been given a hard time.
I know for sure that Killbear even has a wheelchair designed for the beach....finally a Government that actually uses common sense...good luck and get outdoors!
