Algonquin Provincial Park - power access
Was checking out Algonquin park and it seems to say that the power pedestals are 30 meters from the site. Is this right? Do people really need nearly 100 feet of power cable and extensions?

Mildly confused here... Has Ontario re-opened the parks they closed a couple years ago? Obatanga, Rene Brunelle, a handful of others?
Thanks.
Northern Parks closed due to very low attendance.
Northern Ontario Parks
They kept them open for many years beforehand. "Closed due to low attendance" is just another way to say that they were closed because they were too expensive to operate relative to the revenue they generated. (If it wasn't about revenue, they could have just decreased the number of sites available to better match demand.)
To say that Ontario hasn't ever closed parks is disingenuous. I'm not saying they shouldn't have closed them - not my place to judge that - just that there have been statements of financial conditions of the PPs in Ontario made here that haven't been accurate.
BTW, IMO, Ontario has some of the nicest parks anywhere. The rates are significantly higher than most SPs, but I happily pay.
