Tent Camping near Mountain Grove, Ontario

O'Reilly Lake Resort

9 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 15 Tent Sites, 3 Cottages

O'Reilly Lake Resort in Mountain Grove, Ontario, offers 9 RV sites, eight cabin and cottage units, and 17 tent sites on a spring-fed lake, with 30-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 50 feet. A single 30-amp water-and-electric category joins a water park, beach, boat rentals, jumping pillow, and recreation center. Nine back-in sites carry water and electric on 30-amp, sized to 50 feet, with picnic tables. Two things to plan around: the sites carry water and electric rather than sewer, and service is 30-amp, so bring an adapter if your rig runs heavier. One consistent category means no guesswork. Eight cabins and cottages and 17 tent sites make this substantially a cabin and tent property. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, propane exchange, and firewood handle the practical side. A water park and beach anchor the summer, with boat rentals opening the lake for boating, paddle boats, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. A jumping pillow, recreation center, sports courts, volleyball, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, biking, mountain biking, and a playground fill the rest, with live music, picnicking, and genuinely dark skies for stargazing. The address is 1091 O'Reilly Lake Lane in the Township of Central Frontenac, where the Canadian Shield's ancient granite and the spring-fed lakes of the Frontenac Axis make classic Ontario cottage country. Frontenac Provincial Park and Bon Echo are within reach, with Kingston about an hour south. Summer is the short, intense Ontario season. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Woodland Park

3 RV Sites, 10 Tent Sites

Woodland Park in Sauble Beach, Ontario, offers three full-hookup RV sites and 10 tent sites a short walk from Lake Huron, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet behind a gated entrance. Back-in and pull-through categories join a beach, boat ramp, boat docks, recreation center, and on-site dining. Three sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. One thing to check: service is 30-amp, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. Sixty feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Ten tent sites and cabins round out the lodging. A general store, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. A beach, boat ramp, and boat docks open the water for boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing, with a recreation center, playground, walking trails, hiking, dog park, horseshoes, on-site dining, and productive birding filling the rest. Pets are welcome. Sauble Beach is the reason to be here. Seven miles of continuous natural sand along Lake Huron's freshwater coast make it the most visited freshwater beach community in Canada, and the campground entrance is a short walk from it. The water is warm by Great Lakes standards and the sunsets over open water are the town's daily event. The Bruce Peninsula runs north from here toward Tobermory, the Bruce Trail, and Bruce Peninsula National Park's grotto and turquoise water. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Tiny Village Bon Echo

1 RV Site, 6 Tent Sites

Tiny Village Bon Echo in Ompah, Ontario, offers a water-and-electric pull-through RV site and six tent sites in Canadian Shield country, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 30 feet. Cabins, an outdoor pool, beach, boat ramp, kayak rentals, and on-site dining serve a glamping-focused property near Bon Echo Provincial Park. The RV site is pull-through with water and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 30 feet. Two things to plan around: the site carries water and electric rather than sewer, and the 30-foot cap rules out most modern coaches. Six tent sites and classic rental cabins round out the lodging. A general store, propane fills, restrooms, showers, portable toilets, firewood, and on-site dining handle the practical side. Three policies worth knowing: check-in runs 3pm to 9pm only, checkout is 11am, and while there is no boat docking, launching is free. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with a lake, boat ramp, boat rentals, and kayak rentals opening the water for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming. A recreation center, playground, walking trails, hiking, corn hole, and a river fill the rest, with offroading nearby and genuinely dark skies for stargazing. Bon Echo Provincial Park is a short drive and is where the Canadian Shield reaches its most dramatic expression — the Mazinaw Rock cliff rises roughly 330 feet straight out of Mazinaw Lake, carrying more than 260 Indigenous pictographs on its face. Summer is the short Ontario season. Reserve well ahead, and plan arrival within the check-in window.

Tiny Village Ottawa River

13 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

Tiny Village Ottawa River in Deep River, Ontario, offers 13 RV sites and two tent sites on the banks of the Ottawa River, with 30-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet. Back-in, pull-through, and water-only pull-through categories join glamping cabins, boat docks, and a beach in Renfrew County. Thirteen sites run in back-in, pull-through, and water-only pull-through categories, the serviced sites carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp, sized to 75 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. Two tent sites round out the accommodations. One important note on the rental cabins and glamping units: they are classified as housekeeping cabins, which means guests bring their own supplies — eco-friendly products are appreciated. A general store, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Pets are welcome. Boat docks and a beach give direct river access for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming, with walking trails, hiking, volleyball, and birding from the property. Off-roading is nearby. The Ottawa River defines the Ontario-Quebec border here, flowing through Canadian Shield granite and boreal forest past the whitewater rapids that have drawn canoeists since the fur trade era made this the primary commercial artery of New France. Deep River is among Ontario's most scenically pristine river communities, and the property delivers genuine remoteness within driving distance of Ottawa. The Ontario season is short. Summer is decisively the peak — reserve well ahead.

Back-Achers Campsites

12 RV Sites, 13 Tent Sites

Back-Achers Campsites in Himrod, NY, offers 12 RV sites and 13 tent sites, with 30-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 40 feet. Sites are standard back-ins carrying water and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. There's no sewer at the site, so plan on the on-site dump station. Note the electrical: this is a 30-amp campground throughout, so a rig wired for heavier service will need an adapter and some load management, and the 40-foot maximum keeps it to mid-size rigs. A bathhouse with showers, firewood, propane fills and exchange, a snack bar, and a pavilion cover the essentials, and pets are welcome with a playground on the grounds. Walking trails, horseshoes, picnicking, swimming, and boating on the lake fill the days, with the tent sites outnumbering the RV sites — this is a campground first and an RV park second. Himrod sits on the secluded western shore of Seneca Lake, the largest and deepest of the Finger Lakes at 36 miles long, in the heart of Finger Lakes wine country. Rates for sites and tent spots are on the booking page. Summer weekends on Seneca book early.

Shady Oaks Camping Resort

12 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites, 1 Glamping Site

Shady Oaks Camping Resort in Plattsburgh, NY, offers 12 full-hookup RV sites, 4 tent sites, and 1 glamping site, with 20 and 30-amp service and room for rigs up to 40 feet. Sites come in two categories, back-in 30-amp and pull-thru 30-amp, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Note the electrical: service is 20 and 30-amp, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a community fire pit, and recycling cover the rest. Pets are welcome. Horseshoes, corn hole, and picnicking fill the shaded grounds, with the lake and beach a short walk. Plattsburgh sits on the western shore of Lake Champlain in the North Country between the Adirondack foothills and Vermont's Green Mountains. The campground is three quarters of a mile from the City Beach. Rates for every accommodation type are on the booking page. Twelve sites near Lake Champlain in a short northern season — reserve well ahead for summer.

Fairview Park Camping & Marina

15 RV Sites, 4 Tent Sites, 2 Cottages

Fairview Park Camping & Marina in North Bay, ON, offers 15 full-hookup RV sites, 1 cottage, and 4 tent sites, with 20 and 30-amp service and room for rigs up to 80 feet. Sites come as back-ins and pull-thrus, each carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi, a fire pit, and a picnic table. At 80 feet the pull-thrus take a longer rig than nearly anything else in the region, though the 20 and 30-amp service means a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, a dump station, and on-site dining cover the essentials. Pets are welcome. The marina is the anchor: boat slips, boat docks, a boat ramp, and a fishing pier put guests straight onto the water, with an outdoor pool, a hot tub and sauna, a beach, a pond, and swimming, paddling, fishing, and biking alongside. There's a casino on the property and golf nearby. The park sits along the Lavase River minutes from downtown North Bay, with Lake Nipissing opening up just beyond. Rates for sites, the cottage, and tent spots are on the booking page. Boat slips book separately — ask when you reserve.
