Jumping Pillow

O'Reilly Lake Resort

9 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 17 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.

Rice Lake itself is the resort's defining natural feature — a large, shallow, island-dotted lake that is one of the premier walleye and muskie fisheries in Ontario's Kawartha Lakes region. The lake's natural productivity and its position on the Trent-Severn Waterway make it a destination for anglers and boaters who use shady acres keene as a home base for extended water-based exploration. Lang Pioneer Village Museum, a short drive from the resort, preserves 19th-century Ontario rural life in an open-air village setting with costumed interpreters, historic buildings, and operating traditional trades. Hopes Mill Conservation Area and the Warsaw Caves provide geological and natural history interest close to camp.

Shady Acres Cottage & RV Resort is open through the Ontario camping season, with peak demand falling June through August when Rice Lake's warm summer temperatures and the resort's social calendar are simultaneously in full swing.

Scugog Landing Cottage & RV Resort

Port Perry, Ontario, is one of the best-preserved Victorian main streets in Durham Region, an hour northeast of Toronto at the head of Lake Scugog in the southern edge of cottage country. Scugog Landing Cottage & RV Resort occupies 120 acres of rolling Ontario landscape incorporated into the Trent-Severn Waterway just ten minutes from Port Perry's waterfront, combining genuine cottage country character with resort infrastructure that accommodates both RV travelers and guests arriving without their own accommodation. The resort offers a range of RV sites with full services alongside cottage and cabin rental options that give guests the Lake Scugog experience without requiring property ownership on the water. The grounds are expansive and thoughtfully laid out, with the lake providing direct waterfront access for boating, fishing, and paddling from the resort's own shoreline. At 120 acres, the scale ensures that even fully booked summer weekends feel uncrowded and spacious — a quality that resorts on smaller properties simply cannot replicate. Pets are welcome throughout. Lake Scugog and the Trent-Severn Waterway form the twin defining features of the surrounding landscape: flat, mirror-calm water, marshland edges alive with waterfowl, and the measured pace of a historic canal system that has been drawing Ontario cottagers for generations. The Trent-Severn is one of Canada's most beloved recreational waterways, stretching 386 kilometers through Ontario's lake country and providing a boating route of genuine historical and natural significance. Lock 26 operates nearby, and watching cruisers and sailboats work through the lock mechanism is a quintessentially Canadian cottage-country experience that visitors from outside Ontario rarely anticipate and consistently remember. Great blue herons, Canada geese, and various duck species populate the Lake Scugog shoreline through the warm-weather months, giving the waterfront an animated natural quality that persists from dawn through evening. The Kawartha Lakes region surrounding Port Perry combines agricultural countryside with lakeside scenery in a way that feels distinctly and authentically Canadian. Port Perry's Victorian downtown rewards a morning of exploration: boutiques, galleries, bookstores, cafés, and antique shops line Queen Street toward the Lake Scugog waterfront, and the Boathouse Grill is a local institution for lakeside dining worth reserving. The Great Blue Heron Casino in Port Perry offers evening entertainment just minutes from camp. The summer months bring the Highland Games, Dragon Boat Races, and StreetFest to the Port Perry community, layering festival energy on top of the already-rich outdoor and culinary calendar. Scugog Landing operates through the Ontario camping season, with summer bookings — especially for waterfront cottages and preferred RV sites — filling months in advance given the resort's proximity to the Toronto metropolitan area. Friday-through-Sunday availability is always limited during peak summer months; longer stays of a week or more offer the best chance at securing preferred positions on the water. The resort's established community of returning guests gives Scugog Landing a warm, familiar character that first-time visitors tend to notice within the first day of settling in.

Wasaga Beach itself, 14 kilometers of freshwater sand backed by Georgian Bay's warm blue water, is just minutes from the resort — the longest freshwater beach in the world and a summer institution for generations of Ontario families.
