Waterways RV Resort

1 RV Site, 1 Cabin, 1 Cottage

Waterways RV Resort in Portland, ON, offers 1 full-hookup RV site and 2 cabin and cottage rentals, with 30-amp service and room for a rig up to 36 feet. The RV site is a 30-amp back-in carrying water, electric, and sewer with a fire pit and picnic table. Note the electrical: service is 30-amp, so a rig wired for heavier draw will need an adapter and some load management, and the 36-foot maximum keeps it to mid-size rigs. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, and propane exchange cover the essentials, and pets are welcome. The resort around that single site is fully equipped: a marina with boat docks, a beach, a recreation center, sport courts, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, a playground, and live music, with swimming, boating, fishing, and picnicking on the lake. Portland sits on Big Rideau Lake in the Township of Rideau Lakes, in eastern Ontario cottage country along the UNESCO-listed Rideau Canal waterway that links Kingston to Ottawa through a chain of lakes and locks, in granite-and-pine country. Rates for the RV site and cottages are on the booking page. One RV site on Big Rideau — book directly and book early.

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.

A general store, boutique shop, laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, and recycling handle the practical side. You may bring your own food to the water park, but nothing in glass.

Shady Acres Cottage & RV Resort

With more than 300 full-service campsites including waterfront locations, a heated pool, cottage rentals, and full marina services for boating guests, Shady Acres delivers the complete Kawarthas cottage country experience in a campground setting accessible to the broadest range of Ontario outdoor enthusiasts. On-site recreation covers an impressive range: horseshoe pits with regular Sunday tournaments, shuffleboard courts, basketball, a children's playground, and a heated pool provide the daily activity framework, while dances on long weekends, bingo, a kids' fishing tournament in June, Halloween Night in July, annual fireworks, a golf tournament in August, Monte Carlo night, and a September corn roast fill the social calendar with the community events that keep shady acres' core of returning campers planning their next visit before the current one ends. A general store, laundry, security gates, and clean washrooms and showers handle the practical side of a longer stay. Boat, motor, and dock rentals, a boat launch, and complimentary fish freezing ensure Rice Lake anglers are fully equipped. All RV sites feature 30-amp service, water, and sewer. Pets are welcome. 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.

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. Seasonal sites are held by returning families year after year, so book overnight and weekly stays early — shady acres resort's reputation in the Kawarthas has created a loyal clientele that ensures summer availability is genuinely competitive.

Riverbend RV Park

139 RV Sites

Riverbend RV Park sits in Blossvale, New York, on the southwestern shore of Oneida Lake—the largest lake entirely within New York State—where the park's waterfront position, boat dock access, and proximity to Sylvan Beach provide the full complement of inland lake resort camping that central New York's largest body of water sustains for seasonal campers and destination visitors. The campground is the East property of a two-park Riverbend operation in the Blossvale area, offering spacious wooded lakeside sites that accommodate any size RV in a setting where the water and the social infrastructure of the Sylvan Beach strip are both within reach. Full hookup sites with 5-way hookup service—electric, water, sewer, cable, and telephone—serve seasonal and short-term campers in a well-maintained site layout. Wooded sites with water views, cabins for enclosed accommodation, a playground, laundry, showers, walking trails, and boat docks provide the foundational amenities. Planned activities through the season and bird and wildlife watching in the lake corridor fill the recreation calendar, and the campground's Oneida Lake frontage provides swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and boating access from the property's own dock infrastructure. Oneida Lake's fishery is one of the most actively managed in New York State—the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation stocks the lake annually with walleye, yellow perch, and bass, supporting a sportfishery that draws serious anglers from across the Mohawk Valley and central New York for the walleye population that has made the lake locally famous. The lake's 79 square miles of open water provide habitat for all of these species across a range of depth and structure conditions, and the early ice-out season each spring triggers the walleye activity that signals the opening of the central New York fishing season. Sylvan Beach, about two miles from the campground, provides the entertainment infrastructure that transforms a camping trip on Oneida Lake into a genuinely social destination: a small amusement park, the Lake House Casino at Sylvan Beach, the Crazy Clam, and the waterfront restaurants and ice cream shops that have made Sylvan Beach central New York's classic summer beach town since the late nineteenth century. The town's combination of carnival atmosphere, lake access, and walking-distance bars and restaurants gives it a nostalgic summer resort character that remains largely unchanged by the development that has transformed other Great Lakes tourism communities. Riverbend RV Park operates through the upstate New York camping season, typically May through October, in a lake climate where Oneida Lake's thermal mass moderates the temperature swings that inland central New York experiences and the long summer days provide maximum time on the water. The fall walleye season in September and October drives some of the most dedicated fishing traffic of the year, and the early spring ice-out period begins the season that seasonal campers return to establish for the summer. Rome and Utica are within easy reach for urban amenity access when needed, and the Erie Canal corridor to the south provides historical cycling and boating context for the broader Mohawk Valley region.
