A wide variety of activities can be enjoyed by both campers and day-users (see map). The Durham Conservation Area hosts one of three campgrounds operated by Saugeen Conservation.

Facilities include picnic shelters, modern shower and washroom facilities as well as a trailer dumping/recycling station. Firewood is also for sale on-site.
