Suburban life with all its comforts and treats are great, but occasionally all city folks feel the need to connect with nature. A walk in a forest, surfing the waves or a leisurely boat cruise revives one like no medicine can. Finding the right place for a weekend break-away is not always easy. Lyons Holiday Parks provides something for everyone at its three nature resorts.

The three Recreational Vehicle parks that the Lyons company operates - Shady Acres, Park Haven and Little Austria - are all located in scenic, green surroundings in beautiful Ontario. Apart from the exquisite settings in nature's bosom, the parks are equipped with all the necessary comforts for easy outdoor living. All three offer a smorgasbord of social and outdoor opportunities for young and old.

All the Lyons' sites boast a swimming pool, barbeque facilities and a lively social calendar. Whether you want to relax at a camp fire, swim, fish, hike or dance the night away, there is something for everyone. The beautiful settings provide plenty opportunity for outdoor sport and activities.

Lyons Park Haven is a beautiful family RV site bordering a large lake. This is a perfect site for water sport lovers and campers can indulge in fishing and boating to their hearts' delight. Located in a beautiful setting with ample tree coverage, the park also boasts a swimming pool and shower rooms, as well as laundry facilities.

The recreation hall offers plenty activities and opportunities for social and recreational games and events. Those who want variety, can also visit Woodstock and other nearby towns for shopping entertainment or to try their luck at the casino. The camp is only a 5-10 minute drive from Highway 403 and 401.

Little Austria is another family RV site in the rural area of Burford. It is a perfect hide-away for nature lovers who need some time off from busy city life. Here one can relax at a campfire or laze around the pool with only nature's sounds to lull you to sleep. The area is perfect for long strolls and outdoor activities.

Little Austria also offers comforts such as shower rooms and a cafe where daily necessities can be bought. Situated just off Route 53 and close to Highway 403, campers also have the choice to visit nearby towns for shopping entertainment or to indulge in dining and wining at some of the restaurants. With a casino in close proximity and a lively social committee that keeps campers entertained with bingo cards and dances, there is nothing NOT to like at Little Austria.

Shady Acres is an adult living park where mature campers can stay for long periods in blissful surroundings. Here one can idle the days away by going for leisurely strolls or relaxing at the swimming pool. The site is well-equipped with bathrooms with showers, a laundry room and a recreation hall for social interaction and fun activities. Towns like Cathcart and Harley are just a 30 minute drive away.
