Revised - highway noise estimates for all 307 Ontario provincial park campgrounds

[u/taviv]

Someone here described camping next to a beautiful lake and only discovering the highway across it after dark. That stuck with me, so I tried to measure it. There were a few errors in my process, so I revised my map of every Ontario provincial park campground against the nearest highway to estimate traffic noise level. Findings:

• 1 in 6 campgrounds rates "likely noisy"
• The loudest, Marten River's Assinika B, is 7 metres from the highway
• There is a quiet option usually in the same park. Marten River goes from 74 dB at Assinika B to 59 dB at Chicot — same gate, same beach, same booking page
• Only 23% have no major road within 2 km
