Though its parks are still blanketed in heavy snow, the Grand River Conservation Authority knows that some people are already thinking about camping. 
The camping reservation system for Grand River Parks, including Guelph Lake, Elora Gorge and Rockwood conservation areas, opens at 7 a.m. Monday March 3.
