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.

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.

The waterfront categories put you on the creek and are worth requesting early; confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. Two cabins, including a four-person unit, and three tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side.

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.

Red's Twilight on the Erie RV Resort

61 RV Sites, 4 Cabins, 2 Tent Sites

Red's Twilight on the Erie RV Resort in Macedon, New York, offers 61 full-hookup RV sites, four cabins, and two tent sites along the historic Erie Canal, with 30 and 50-amp service behind a gated entrance. Back-in, pull-through, and pull-through buddy sites carry water, sewer, and electric, with an outdoor pool, kayak rentals, and direct Erie Canal Trail access. Sixty-one sites run in back-in, pull-through, and pull-through buddy configurations — the buddy sites suiting parties traveling together — all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, with fire pits and picnic tables. Four cabins and two tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, and a gated entrance controls access. The canal is the recreation.

An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with an arcade, playground, pavilion, and corn hole filling the grounds. Wine and beer tasting is nearby in the Finger Lakes. Pets are welcome. Macedon sits in Wayne County on the Erie Canal's western section. The 363-mile canal, built between 1817 and 1825, connected the Great Lakes to the Atlantic and opened the continental interior to trade — the most ambitious engineering project of early America. The corridor now carries one of the most comprehensive canal-trail cycling networks in the Northeast, with Rochester and the Finger Lakes wine region both close. The resort runs the upstate New York season. Summer cycling and canal traffic drive demand — reserve ahead for July and August weekends.
