The best camping near Bluewater guide

Where to go

MacGregor Point Provincial Park

About an hour and a half north of Bluewater, MacGregor Point Provincial Park offers hundreds of treed, level-surface sites for both car and tent camping. Many RV campsites also come with electrical hookups. Amenities include on-tap drinking water, laundry facilities, easy beach access, and pull-through campsites for travel trailers. For up to six people, year-round yurts offer bunk beds, heat, lighting, outdoor barbecues, and on-site dining shelters. From the campsites, try fishing at the nearby Saugeen River for bass, perch, Lake Trout, pickerel, pike, and salmon. The shoreline is also great for birding, especially during the spring and fall migrations.

Point Farms Provincial Park

Just half an hour north of Bluewater, Point Farms Provincial Park offers a great Discovery Program in July and August where park staff teach about plants, animals, and other wonders in the area. Both the Old Farms Trail and Below the Bluff Trail are easy enough for even the littlest Hipcampers to enjoy—look out for red-tailed hawks, orioles, blue jays, and yellow-bellied sapsuckers. Campgrounds open from late spring into early fall. RV campers will appreciate the pull-through sites with full hookups for water and electricity. Group-tent camping sites with vault toilets and water taps are also available for groups between nine and 45 people.

Dalewood Conservation Area

The Dalewood Conservation Area is about an hour south in St. Thomas, just outside of London. This is a great place to immerse in nature while exploring 25 hectares of wetlands—home to beavers, blue herons, and hundreds of songbirds. The Dalewood Reservoir Trail offers a moderately challenging loop, or kayak down the Evan Sisters’ Water Trail instead. Other activities include a swimming pool and an 18-hole disc golf course. Nearly 200 campsites are open from May to September. Some pull-through RV campsites offer 30-amp service, as well.

When to go

The peak camping season in Bluewater is summer when the warm, sunny weather is ideal for swimming, boating, and hiking. The Discovery Programs at MacGregor and Point Farms only run in July and August, too. For a quieter escape, consider visiting in spring and fall with cooler temperatures and occasional rain. While some sites may offer year-round camping, most close during the colder winter months. Winter camping is available in areas of Bluewater that offer cross-country skiing and ice fishing.
