Norfolk County is one of the best-kept secrets in Ontario. With beaches, forests, farms, and wineries all within a short drive of each other, it's a region that rewards those who take the time to explore it. And when the sun goes down, there's no better way to cap off a day in Norfolk than gathering around a fire.

Long Point Provincial Park

Long Point is one of Norfolk County's crown jewels. This UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve stretches out into Lake Erie and offers some of the most beautiful beach scenery in Ontario. Designated fire areas are available for campers, making it an ideal spot for an evening bonfire with the sound of the lake in the background.

Turkey Point Provincial Park

Turkey Point is a favourite for families and couples alike. With sandy beaches and a more relaxed atmosphere, it's a great place to wind down with a fire after a day on the water. Check current fire permit requirements before you go.

Port Dover Waterfront

Port Dover is a charming lakeside town with a lot of character. While open fires are subject to local regulations, the surrounding area offers plenty of private properties and rental accommodations with fire pit access. It's worth asking your host if a fire pit is available during your stay.

Backyard Fire Pits in Simcoe

Sometimes the best bonfire is the one in your own backyard. Simcoe and the surrounding rural areas of Norfolk County are full of properties with fire pit setups perfect for a quiet evening under the stars.

What to Bring

A good fire starts with good wood. Bring enough bagged firewood to last the evening — more than you think you'll need. Dry, seasoned wood is easier to light and burns more consistently than anything you might find lying around. Bring fire starters, matches or a lighter, and something to roast over the flames.
