Cindy’s land was private quaint and so beautiful!! It was nestled in the wilderness away from noise and light pollution, and the sky lit up at night time with millions of beautiful stars!! The host was awesome helping us set up even and letting us know about all the local festivities!! Everything we needed was just a quick drive away for fun or resources like our furnace breaking lol We can’t wait to go back again!!

Absolutely amazing camping place for families. The owner and workers are extremely friendly. They set up a star gazing night, had a paint station and playground for the kids, everything was always clean. The vibe was lovely there!! 10/10 would recommend and will be going back!

We had a fantastic long weekend at Brennan's Hill Camping. The place is so beautiful and well-maintained. You can see the attention to detail and to offering of a good experience in each part of the campground. The sites are sufficiently private and have a good size. The bathrooms are very, very clean, and the shower works perfectly.
Kim is an amazing host and a wonderful person. Communication is great. She was patient and understanding when we arrived later than expected for our check-in. She lent us extra sleeping bags when we were too cold the first night because we were underprepared for the temperature, and she shared her energy and laughter whenever we visited the office.
The campsite is so quiet and beautiful that we ended up staying there most of the time, rather than following our initial plan to go hiking every day. The day we left the site to explore, we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful lakes near the campground.
We had the opportunity to take a look at the cabins, and they are comfortable and well-designed!
We were sad to leave - and we will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our two night stay in the Hairy Foxes site! Incredibly quiet and peaceful. Very friendly and helpful management. While we couldn't have a fire on our site, the communal firepit was just steps from our site. We enjoyed meeting the other campers and the manager kept it well stocked with nice dry hardwood. The bathroom was a work in progress but was immaculate with new fixtures and shower. The night sky was stunning. We will absolutely be back!

We had such a great time at this campsite. We would book back here in a heartbeat. It was exceptionally clean and the property is well cared for. We had a couple other friends at the neighboring sites and we all had a great time around the communal firepit. They provided the wood and a hose nearby to ensure that the fire was put out safely before we all went to bed. We are all planning another trip at the same time for next summer!

This was a cozy little spot along the lake. Close to the road, but the traffic was not a bother to us. It was great to have the option to use the showers/bathrooms on site! Most importantly, the hosts were extremely kind and generous and made us feel right at home!

My friend and I tented it on a Friday night. Beautiful spot and very private. We were lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves. A bit noisy at night with the hwy being right there, the only drawback. Hospitality was great. Not much signage, but gps will bring you to the 2 pylons set up and make a left to enter the property.

We stayed in the Lazy Moose site which fit our 26’ trailer and pick up with ease. The 50 amp hook up is new and amazing, just know you need an adapter if you only have a 30 amp trailer like mine! (Something I will add to my RV toolbox for sure!)
Hosts were wonderful, friendly, helpful with info about best sites for camping gear and extra helpful offering to help with spotting while manoeuvring in and out of sites and even hitching.
Privacy is still great despite being a smaller area. Hosts have done a wonderful job maintaining that as well as continuously adding features like water, sewer and electrical hookups as well as really clean and accessible community bathroom complete with new shower and flush toilet.
Highly recommend!!!

Great place to stay - my wife and I loved camping here! It was our first stop along our northern trip - the campsites were clean, spacious, and the facilities were impeccable! We were very happy with the cleanliness at this park. We really liked the fact it was off the grid and they used solar panels! The owners were very friendly and accommodating- would highly recommend and will return 👍

The best luxury RV camping near North Bay guide
Where to go
Restoule Provincial Park
Surrounding Stormy Lake, this park has some of the best views in Northern Ontario. Hike to the top of the 100-metre Stormy Lake Bluff on the Fire Tower Trail, a moderate 4.1-kilometre loop across rocky ridges and boardwalks. Then, see that same view from below, paddling a canoe along its base. And bikers will love Angel’s Point Trail, which offers an inner loop for more advanced cyclists, and an outer, double track, for those simply looking to cruise.
Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park
Set in the Mattawa Valley, this is where some of the first Europeans to explore Canada would have passed through seeking furs to line their coats, paddling big Voyageur canoes down the river. You can do that, too—it’s a signature interpretive experience here. Plus, there’s plenty of hiking, biking, and swimming on the clear waters of Moore Lake.
Mikisew Provincial Park
Calm and placid, Eagle Lake is dotted with wooded islands—the perfect place to explore. Launch a boat or paddle a canoe, rolling through the channels in between. Then return to the park for some fun—Mikisew has three sandy beaches, plus basketball, volleyball, and even a disc golf course.
When to go
In Northern Ontario, spring arrives a little late, while fall comes a bit sooner than in the rest of the province. The hottest weather tends to stretch from the middle of June to the end of August, and sunlight follows the same pattern—in June, twilight can linger until well after 9pm, while autumn days shorten rapidly. Summer is by far the busiest time, so book your campsites well in advance, especially for weekends and national holidays. Spring is lovely but potentially buggy, and in fall, the forest becomes an artist’s palate of colour. Winter is cold, but hardy people will find plenty to do, from snowmobiling and skiing to snowshoeing and ice fishing.
Know before you go
- Don’t fear the shad flies—every year in early summer, millions of these peculiar bugs fly into town off Lake Nipissing. They’re harmless, but weird.
- North Bay is about a four-hour’s drive north of Toronto, but this drive can double on summer weekends, when people head north to the Muskoka Lakes along this route.
- While North Bay has all the modern conveniences you’d expect in a small city, things can get very remote very quickly once you leave town. Be prepared to lose cell phone signal and pack enough supplies, especially on overnight trips.
- If you have a little extra time, visit The Hole, a former bunker sunk 200 metres below the Canadian Shield, built to withstand a major nuclear attack.
