Caribou RV Park

30 RV Sites

Caribou RV Park in Whitehorse, Yukon, offers 30 RV sites at kilometer 1403 of the Alaska Highway, with 30-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 120 feet — the length capacity that matters on a route where travelers arrive in everything from vans to full-size coaches with tows. Serviced, unserviced, premium, and VIP categories are available, and the campground is fully open with all services. Thirty sites run in serviced, unserviced, premium, and VIP categories, the serviced sites carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, in back-in and pull-through configurations sized to 120 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Unserviced sites suit self-contained rigs at a lower rate. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with on-site dining for meals. The property offers more than a highway stop. Walking trails run the grounds, bike rentals are available, and a lake nearby supports fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. A spa rounds out the amenities — genuinely welcome after a long stretch of the Alaska Highway. Pets are welcome. Whitehorse is the Yukon's largest city, sitting near the junction of the South Klondike Cutoff that connects to the historic Klondike Gold Rush route. The Alaska Highway draws a global community of overlanders, RV travelers, and adventure travelers through each summer, and the park's highway-adjacent position makes it a natural gathering point for that community. The northern season is short and concentrated. Summer is decisively the peak — reserve well ahead for July and August.

Sheridan Lake Resort

15 RV Sites, 11 Cabins

Sheridan Lake Resort in Lone Butte, BC, offers 15 RV sites and 11 cabins, with 30-amp service and back-in sites for rigs up to 50 feet. Sites are back-ins carrying water and electric. There's no sewer at the site, so plan accordingly for a longer stay. Note the electrical: service is 30-amp throughout, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management. A bathhouse with showers, a general store, and firewood cover the essentials, with eleven cabins for guests without a rig. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The lake is the reason to come: a boat ramp, boat docks, and boat and kayak rentals, plus a beach and walking trails, with fishing, boating, paddling, paddle boarding, paddle boats, and swimming. Skiing and snowboarding are nearby in winter. Lone Butte sits on Highway 24 in the South Cariboo's Interlakes District — a stretch of interior BC known widely as the Fishing Highway, and Sheridan Lake is one of its best-known waters. Rates for sites and cabins are on the booking page. Fifteen sites on a Fishing Highway lake means the season books early.

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 Parry Sound

Tiny Village Parry Sound in Ontario, Canada, provides a distinctive lakeside and Georgian Bay camping retreat in the Parry Sound District of the Canadian Shield, where the famous Thirty Thousand Islands of Georgian Bay—the largest freshwater archipelago in the world—create a labyrinthine boating, kayaking, and canoeing environment of extraordinary natural beauty in a protected UNESCO Biosphere Reserve recognized as one of the most ecologically significant freshwater landscapes on Earth. Positioned in the landscape surrounding Parry Sound where the Canadian Shield's exposed Precambrian granite meets Georgian Bay's open water in an island-studded shoreline that Canadian summer cottage culture has treasured for over a century, the campground provides a natural gateway to one of Canada's most celebrated outdoor recreation environments. The campground's facility reflects the outdoor recreation and cottage-style character of Georgian Bay camping: a beach for swimming, boat docks for guest watercraft, boat ramp, boat rentals, kayak rentals for exploring the island passages of the Thirty Thousand Islands, a lake, showers, bathrooms, general store, firewood, walking trails, playground, and recreation center serve the practical and recreational needs of guests whose stays center on the bay's paddling and boating opportunities. Canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, volleyball, hiking, and the birding and wildlife watching that the Georgian Bay's protected shoreline consistently delivers provide organized and independent recreation across the full outdoor spectrum. The cabins accommodate guests seeking enclosed lakeside accommodations. Parry Sound's position on the eastern Georgian Bay shore provides the administrative and commercial center for the Thirty Thousand Islands corridor, where the Town of Parry Sound's waterfront, the Gateway to the 30,000 Islands cruise boat operation on Georgian Bay, and the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts—home to the Festival of the Sound classical music festival each July—create a cultural and natural tourism infrastructure of surprising depth for a community of Parry Sound's size. The Canadian Shield's exposed granite outcrops, the silver-gray shores of Georgian Bay, and the boreal forest that frames every water view create the visual identity that the Group of Seven painters immortalized in the Canadian landscape painting tradition. The Georgian Bay Islands National Park, a 13,000-hectare park protecting 63 Georgian Bay islands and the Beausoleil Island's full range of Georgian Bay ecology, provides the most pristine and accessible wilderness island camping in the Thirty Thousand Islands corridor through a water-access-only park that rewards paddlers and boaters with complete island solitude. The Killbear Provincial Park on the Parry Sound peninsula provides developed beach and hiking access to Georgian Bay's granite headlands and the abundant wildlife that the park's Massasauga rattlesnake population, black bear community, and rich bird life represent in one of Ontario's most biologically diverse provincial parks. Tiny Village Parry Sound operates seasonally from late spring through early fall in the Georgian Bay's Canadian Shield climate, with the July and August summer season representing the peak of Georgian Bay's boating, paddling, and cottage culture when the Thirty Thousand Islands' warm bay water and the 18-hour northern summer days create ideal conditions for extended water recreation. The Festival of the Sound in July and the fall color season through late September and October—when the Shield's maple and birch forest transforms the granite island landscape into vivid color—create the most culturally and visually distinctive seasonal opportunities for guests whose Ontario visit extends beyond the summer camping peak.

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.

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.

Sun Retreats Sherkston Shores

66 RV Sites, 29 Cabins, 46 Tent Sites, 55 Cottages

Sun Retreats Sherkston Shores in Port Colborne, Ontario, offers 66 full-hookup RV sites, 84 cabin and cottage units, and 46 tent sites across 560 acres on four kilometers of Lake Erie beachfront, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet behind a gated entrance. Waterfront and premium full-hookup categories join a 30-amp tier, alongside a water park, splash pad, and mini-golf. Sixty-six sites run in full hookup 30-amp, premium full hookup 30/50-amp, and waterfront full hookup 30/50-amp categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The waterfront category is the one to request. Eighty-four cabins and cottages and 46 tent sites make the lodging inventory far larger than the RV side. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, firewood, boat storage, recycling, and food trucks handle the practical side. The property was formerly Sherkston Shores Beach Resort & Campground. A water park and splash pad anchor the summer, with an outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, and the beach alongside. Mini-golf, a fitness center, clubhouse, game room, arcade, sports courts, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, golf cart rentals, a playground, dog park, and bar fill the rest, with boating, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, biking, live music, and Niagara wine country nearby. The scale rivals dedicated resort destinations. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.

Golden Riverfront Campground

25 RV Sites, 37 Tent Sites

Golden Riverfront Campground in Nicholson, British Columbia, offers 25 RV sites with water and electric on 30-amp service and 37 tent sites along the Columbia River, with rigs accepted to 60 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Cabins, a beach, and a pond sit at the edge of the Canadian Rockies, 20 kilometers south of Golden. Twenty-five sites carry water and electric on 30-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables — note there are no sewer hookups at the sites, though a dump station is available. Thirty-seven tent sites make this a genuinely tent-friendly property, unusual among RV parks. Cabins serve guests without a rig. Laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side. Reservations can be made online, by email, or by phone, with full payment required at booking; online is preferred. The river setting carries the recreation. A beach and pond support swimming with inflatable water toys, and fishing, canoeing, and kayaking run from the property. Walking trails, a playground, pavilion, dog park, sports courts, and volleyball fill the grounds, with hiking and biking from camp and strong birding in the wetland and forest. The campground also operates as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. Nicholson sits in the Columbia Valley, which serves as basecamp for the densest cluster of national parks in Canada — Yoho, Kootenay, Glacier, and Mount Revelstoke are all within about two hours via the Trans-Canada Highway, with Rogers Pass and the Kicking Horse Canyon close by. The campground runs the mountain park season. Summer is peak — reserve well ahead.

New Earth Estate

6 Cabins, 7 Tipis, 1 Tiny House

New Earth Estate in Markdale, Ontario, offers seven cabin and tiny-house units and seven tipis across 50 acres of forest, river, and rolling hills in the Grey Highlands, open year-round. A pool, hot tub and sauna, spa, disc golf course, kayak rentals, and boat docks make this a full eco-retreat rather than a campground, within weekend range of Toronto. Accommodations run to seven cabins and tiny houses plus seven tipis — a small inventory, so book well ahead. Restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi serve the property, and on-site dining covers meals. The estate operates all year, which makes it a genuine four-season option in a region where many properties close. The 50 acres carry an unusually deep amenity set. A pool, hot tub, sauna, and spa anchor the wellness side, while a disc golf course, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, and a ball field cover active recreation. Kayak rentals, boat docks, a pond, and a river support paddling, with a beach and lake nearby. Walking trails and hiking run the forest, and the dark rural sky makes for strong stargazing and bird watching. The estate also operates as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. A safety note the operators emphasize: this is a natural property with a river, pond, paved and unpaved trails, and forest with stones, rocks, and fallen branches, and it gets genuinely dark at night. Bring flashlights, hike in daylight where possible, and wear proper footwear. Markdale sits in Grey County in the southern Georgian Bay watershed. The Blue Mountains ski and recreation area is 40 kilometers south, with skiing nearby in season and wine and beer tasting in the surrounding countryside. Book early for summer and ski-season weekends.

Cedar Valley Cottage Resort

On the scenic Scugog River in the City of Kawartha Lakes, Ontario—in the rolling agricultural and cottage-country landscape east of Lindsay where the Trent-Severn Waterway's interconnected lakes, rivers, and locks create one of the most celebrated inland boating corridors in eastern Canada—Cedar Valley Cottage Resort, a Summerhill Resorts property, offers two and three-bedroom seasonal cottages with full kitchens and comfortable furnishings alongside premium waterfront docks, a multi-sports court with road hockey, pickleball, tennis, and basketball, direct fishing and boating access from the Scugog River, and the immediate proximity to the Kawartha Lakes region's trails, provincial parks, and the historic town of Lindsay that makes this cottage-country resort the complete base camp for a Kawartha summer season from May through October. The river is at your dock. Lindsay is minutes away. Cedar Valley's two and three-bedroom cottages provide the family-scale accommodation that the Kawartha Lakes seasonal market demands—full kitchens for self-catering the week, comfortable furnishings for the evening post-lake gathering, and the private cottage character that distinguishes a cottage-country stay from a standard campground experience. The premium Scugog River docks allow guests with their own boats to arrive by water or launch directly onto the river for the fishing, the leisurely river exploration, and the Trent-Severn Waterway lock system navigation that makes the Kawartha waterway network one of Ontario's great boating destinations. The multi-sports court's road hockey, pickleball, tennis, and basketball keep the active family and the competitive adults equally occupied during the dry-weather hours between lake sessions. The Kawartha Lakes region—City of Kawartha Lakes encompasses the former Victoria County's interconnected municipalities, conservation areas, and provincial parks in a landscape shaped by Precambrian Shield bedrock, glacial lakes, and the rivers that connect them—provides the fishing, boating, and nature experience that the Ontario cottage tradition has organized itself around since the 19th century. The Scugog River connects the resort directly to the Trent-Severn Waterway, the 386-kilometer engineered waterway that links Lake Ontario at Trenton to Georgian Bay at Port Severn through 44 locks and 6 lakes in the most complete inland boating route in Ontario. Lindsay, minutes from the resort, provides the essential Kawartha Lakes town infrastructure—the farmers market, the historic downtown shopping, the medical and grocery services, and the community events calendar that the City of Kawartha Lakes anchors in its largest urban center. The Petroglyphs Provincial Park, 45 miles north near Woodview, protects the largest concentration of Indigenous petroglyphs in Canada—the 900-plus carved figures in the crystalline limestone outcropping are among the most significant sacred sites in Ontario's First Nations heritage. Fenelon Falls, Bobcaygeon, and the other Kawartha Lakes waterfront communities provide the day-trip variety that the cottage-country touring circuit builds around locks, ice cream shops, and antique stores along the Trent-Severn. Cedar Valley Cottage Resort operates seasonally from May 1 through October 31 in the Kawartha Lakes' temperate Ontario summer climate, with June through Labour Day the peak cottage season and the September and October shoulder weeks offering the region's most comfortable temperatures, the autumn walleye and bass fishing peak, and the hardwood forest's fall color display that the Kawartha uplands produce in the October weeks before closing. Reserve your cottage at Cedar Valley and let the Scugog River, the Trent-Severn Waterway, and the Kawartha Lakes' complete cottage-country experience make Ontario's inland lake district the summer destination the resort's river location promises.

Cape Croker Park

276 RV Sites, 1 Cabin, 1 Tent Site

Cape Croker Park in Neyaashiinigmiing, Ontario, offers 276 RV sites, a cabin, and a tent site on Georgian Bay, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. Premium waterfront, premium, back-in, and pull-through 20-amp categories join Powwow Grounds sites, with a beach, boat ramp, and walking trails. Two hundred seventy-six sites span 20-amp back-in, 20-amp premium, 20-amp premium waterfront, 20-amp pull-through, 30/50-amp, and Powwow Grounds categories, carrying water and electric, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to plan around: the sites carry water and electric but not sewer, and most categories are 20-amp, so check the 30/50-amp tier if your rig needs more. The premium waterfront category is the one to request. A cabin and a tent site round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, portable toilets, and firewood handle the practical side. A site holder must be at least 18, and alcohol rules apply — check with the park. A beach and boat ramp open the bay for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming, with walking trails, hiking, biking, volleyball, a pond, playground, pavilion, bar, and productive birding filling the rest. The park is owned and operated by the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation on their traditional territory, between limestone bluffs on Colpoys Bay. Summer is the season on the Bruce Peninsula. Reserve well ahead.

Gallagher Lake Camping & RV Resort

89 RV Sites, 11 Cabins

Gallagher Lake Camping and RV Resort in Oliver, British Columbia, offers 89 RV sites and 11 cabins on a spring-fed lake in the South Okanagan, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 83 feet, open all year.

Eighty-nine sites span Voyageur full service, Voyageur full service 50-amp, Voyageur full service with cable, Voyageur full service no pets allowed, and Voyageur partial service categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 83 feet. Two things worth knowing: the partial service category does not carry the full hookup set, and there is a dedicated no-pets section for guests with allergies or a preference for quiet. Eighty-three feet accommodates the longest coaches. Eleven cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and recycling handle the practical side. A private sandy beach on the spring-fed lake anchors the recreation, with sports courts, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, horseshoes, walking, hiking, biking, a playground, pavilion, dog park, and picnicking filling the rest. Wine tasting and golf courses are close, along with Tickleberry's, the Golden Mile Fruit Market, and Vaseaux Lake. Oliver calls itself the Wine Capital of Canada, set in the only recognized desert ecosystem in the country. Summer and harvest drive demand. Reserve well ahead.
