The best campgrounds in Georgian Bay with hot tubs

Georgian Bay, part of Lake Huron in Ontario, offers crystal-clear water, rugged shorelines, and various outdoor activities. The incredible rock formations are part of the Canadian Shield and are included in the Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve, where rock climbing, hiking, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, swimming, and birdwatching are phenomenal. Additionally, several provincial parks are situated along Georgian Bay or within a very short drive of it, adding additional options for outdoor fun and camping. This is cottage country and most towns come equipped to serve those who love being active outdoors—you’ll find outdoor gear outfitters, craft breweries, independent coffee shops, cafes with take-out picnic options, and tour guides.

Lovely couple and extraordinarily lovely acreage home. Borders a forest on a couple of sides. Quite private. The host was gracious enough to offer us electricity in our small RV. Well kept yard. The dog was a real treat.

This is such a great spot! Super peaceful, great amenities, and our pups loved the trails! Chris, his wife, and pup Harpor were super hospitable, responded quickly, and made sure we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Would definitely recommend and would definitely come back if we find ourselves in the area again!

My husband and I had a great time at this site. Chris communicated effectively, both before we arrived and while we were on site. The site was comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed the sauna and loved playing with the dog.

The family and I had a wonderful time tent camping at Chris’. It was my daughter’s (1.5yr old) first time camping and I couldn’t recommend this place enough for a first time little camper. Single site with lots of privacy and a big yard to run around. They have their own little trail system which connects to a much larger trail in the back. I will bring her hiking pack next time for sure. Chris’ dog Harper (“Harpy” as my little one liked to call her) was a wonderful part of our experience as well. Chris let us use the washroom inside the mud room which was great and he set out a hammock for us to enjoy if we so wished. Very accommodating, kind and attentive to all our needs. We would love to come back next year for sure! Great memories made for our first time little camper. <3

We parked our truck camper with the door towards the forest. Right there, outside your door are the trails for Awenda Provincial Park. We also walked in the rural neighborhood and down to the water. This would be a great spot to make home while hiking and cycling in the area for a few days. Chris and his family made us feel welcome and helped us newbies set up camp to give us the most privacy. Having electricity was a bonus for our CPAP machines. Also a bonus were our visits from the dog which we had requested.

Weekend Trip to Maple Forest Bell Tent

Laura and Dale were fantastic hosts! The fresh eggs were delicious, the cooking area had everything you need, the surroundings were beautiful and the hot tub and outdoor shower were fabulous! The glamping tent offered some amazing sleeps with the open mesh breezes. Mosquitoes and bugs are plentiful, but that's to be expected with camping and the outdoors, so come prepared! Overall, a wonderful retreat for anyone wanting to experience the outdoors with a little more comfort.

Nicole and Chris were exceptional hosts. They have a beautiful property and made our stay fantastic. They were very accommodating and responded to each and every message immediately. We asked if they had a grill to cook on over the fire, they did not , so Chris went and bought one anyway!. Sorry we didn’t use it, who knew of would be in the 40s and too hot to cook on the fire lol. The cold plunge was used instead ! I would highly recommend these hosts , their ad says everything and it’s true. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

We loved our stay and appreciated all the extra amenities, the space and kindness of the property owners who allowed us to flex our timing. They kindly shared information on best places to park, great beaches and a parking pass. While we did not use the sauna this time we certainly would next go round. The space was beautiful and we positioned our camper at the back which allowed us to plug in and face the forest which has beautiful trails. The site is also located 2 minutes from blue and green single track MTB trails. There is a beautiful dog on site which the owners advised us of prior to coming and gave options of keeping dog in/out front, on a long lead or free to run about. We chose the latter and loved having our dog visits. She is extremely gentle and sweet. The property is very well maintained we felt an excellent value. Thankyou for the stay!

The best camping in Georgian Bay with hot tubs guide

Where to go

Manitoulin Island

Often described as Northern Ontario’s best-kept secret, Manitoulin Island is the largest freshwater island in the world—so large that it’s home to over 100 lakes itself! Visitors can check out several lighthouses, including the famous Split Rock Light, while photographers love the stunning lookouts on the island’s many hikes. Put the Cup and Saucer Trail on your list for incredible views. Additionally, the Ojibwe Cultural Foundation is an excellent place to learn about Indigenous culture.

Parry Sound

This town is a great base camp for those exploring the great outdoors. It’s home to an excellent selection of shops and services—from downtown, you can even catch a scenic boat tour of Georgian Bay or call an outfitter to arrange fishing, hiking, and ATV tours. A 10-minute drive away, Oastler Lake Provincial Park is a nice spot for family-friendly activities.

Wasaga Beach

Wasaga Beach has a reputation as one of the region’s best spots for outdoor enthusiasts to base themselves—and to party, if that’s your scene. Although once known as a bar-hopping destination, today the vibe is much more family-friendly and focused on nature. The town is home to the world’s longest freshwater beach and offers panoramic views of the nearby Niagara Escarpment. You can rent gear to try stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, and windsurfing. There is also excellent hiking, most notably on the Nottawasaga Bluffs Trail.

Killarney Provincial Park

This park’s landscape is different from what you might expect. It’s home to iconic pink granite rock formations, something both hikers and photographers love. No wonder Canada’s Group of Seven painters (including A.Y. Jackson, Franklin Carmichael, and A.J. Casson) found inspiration here! There are ample opportunities for backwoods canoeing, hiking, and camping, as well as more accessible car camping sites and soft shelters such as yurts.

French River Provincial Park

Set along the French River, Canada’s first designated Heritage River, this Provincial Park offers a 65-mile canoe route of interconnected lakes, gorges, and rapids from Lake Nipissing to Georgian Bay. All camping here takes place in the backcountry with no advanced reservations.
