Today
Although very eroded after over 85 years, the original trench system at Camp Hughes is still intact and is the only World War One era trench system remaining in North America.
The Camp Hughes Cemetery, which is located on what is known as Cemetery Hill, also remains at Camp Hughes.
The Camp Hughes site is no longer used for active military use, therefore access is not restricted to the area. It does however continue to be monitored by the Canadian Department of National Defense.
