Camping There is camping at the Stratford Fairgrounds. The farmers' market and a number of other events take place here on the grounds, which are quite central, about seven blocks from the tourist office. There Stratford is also camping in St Marys. A good way to find an economical bed is to book through the Stratford Festival Accommodation Department at 55 Queen St. It will find a room in someone's home from as low as $35/38 a single/double if you have a ticket to a play. For a couple more dollars, breakfast can be included. Payment must be made in full when booking. The Stratford & Area B&B Association does much the same thing, but not being part of the tourism festival, its prices are higher and its members are trying to run viable businesses. William St runs along the river, across from the downtown core.
There you'll find the immaculate Burnside Guest Home. A 15-minute walk will get you to any of the theatres or the downtown area. Singles cost $50 and double $65170. There is also a cheaper but good hostel-style room downstairs for $25 per person. All rates include breakfast. Lester, the owner, is very knowledgeable about things to see and do around town. A Rover's Return Elizabeth Sty has five rooms with shared bath economically priced at $45/60. It's a 10-minute walk to downtown. Ana's B&B. 48 Rebecca StY is near the Avon Theatre.

It's away from the centre a bit, on the other side of the river, off the Mornington St. This fine old house has a pool in the yard, which guests can use.
Doubles are $92 including a continental breakfast. Hotels A possibility worth considering is a room booking at the General Hospital Residence, and no, you don't have to get hit by a car to qualify.
