As the war came to an end, the camp was essently redundent for many of the weapons used during the war, especially tanks and artillery which now had ranges exceeding 10 km. The militia quickly started to train at wars end but the Hussars were froced to train in Camp Utopia in Charlotte County where the expanse of available ranges allowed tanks to engage targets at 1200 meters. Artillery units from around the province also took advantage of this land mass.

Individual training was still conducted at the camp and in 1955 the Black Watch (RHR) opened a depot in Camp Sussex which was to remain until 1958.

Many buildings were dismantled and moved off the site for use elsewheres. Those sites are too numerous to mention here and only a few examples are cited.

The actual camp boundary was reduced in scope and the hospital was turned over to the community for use. Today very little remains of the original camp with the exception of the rifle range and the newly constructed armouries.

One contributing factor to the close out of the camp was the establishment of a new and very large training area in the central part of the province encompassing 1100 square kilometers of land. Camp Gagetown had all the necessary land needed for the weapons of the day, and was established very close to the site discussed with those officers attending that far distant camp in Sussex in 1914.
