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.

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.

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.

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. 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. Peterborough, the Kawartha Lakes' largest urban center, offers dining, shopping, and the Canadian Canoe Museum — one of the country's most unique heritage institutions celebrating the canoe's central role in Canadian identity — within 30 minutes of Shady Acres. 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.

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.

8 RV Sites

Bear Creek Lake in Franklinville, New York, offers 8 full-hookup RV sites across 750 acres of forested hills and meadows, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet.

Cattaraugus County sits in the Enchanted Mountains of New York's southern tier, minutes from Ellicottville — a genuine four-season resort village with Holiday Valley's skiing and mountain biking. Access is easy via SR-16 north to SR-400 from I-90. Summer and fall foliage drive demand, with ski season extending it. Reserve well ahead.
