The best camping in Ontario

Name: Ontario
Address: Ontario
Rating: 4.77

Camping in Ontario is all about lakes and forests, with easy access to nature in the province’s national and provincial parks, wine-making regions, and lakeside cottage communities. Though home to Canada’s national capital, (Ottawa), its largest city (Toronto), and its most popular tourist attraction (Niagara Falls), Ontario’s location bordering four of the five Great Lakes means sandy beaches, thousands of islands, remote canoe routes, and miles of wooded trails to explore. The province’s peak outdoor season runs from May to October before the area settles into dramatic autumn foliage and snowy winters.

Two of Ontario’s national parks, Bruce Peninsula and Georgian Bay Islands, as well as the Fathom Five National Marine Conservation Area, are located along the Georgian Bay section of Lake Huron, northwest of Toronto. Other area highlights include Killarney and Killbear provincial parks, known for hiking and camping, and Manitoulin Island, the world’s largest freshwater island, where several indigenous communities welcome visitors interested in learning about their cultures.

This immense region follows the shores of Lake Superior and stretches north through the deep woods to Hudson Bay. From the gateway cities of Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay, campers can explore remote Pukaskwa National Park, as well as Sleeping Giant and Lake Superior provincial parks along the shores of the largest Great Lake.

East of Toronto and hugging Lake Ontario, Prince Edward County is popular among campers and glampers who love good food or want to laze on the beaches and sand dunes of Sandbanks Provincial Park. Continuing east along the St. Lawrence River (which divides Canada from the United States), you can paddle from island to island or set up camp in Thousand Islands National Park. Major cities in eastern Ontario are Ottawa, Canada’s national capital, and Kingston, where the Rideau Canal meets the St. Lawrence.

Ontario’s southwest corner borders both Lake Erie and Lake Huron, between Toronto and Detroit. You can visit Canada’s southernmost point in Point Pelee National Park and tour the small wineries that cluster around the towns of Kingsville and Leamington. The popular beaches and campsites of Pinery Provincial Park are along Lake Huron’s southern shore.

Encompassing the city of Toronto, Rouge National Urban Park, the Niagara region, and the Muskoka Lakes—known as Ontario’s “cottage country”—Central Ontario also includes Algonquin Provincial Park, one of Ontario’s most popular canoe camping areas, and Bon Echo Provincial Park, where more than 250 indigenous pictographs are preserved on rocky cliffs.

Chesley, ON · 1 site

Tucked away beneath the trees in the heart of Grey-Bruce, Raven Hollow is a little place to disappear from the ordinary for a while. Follow the path into our 50-acre wood, where winding trails disappear beneath the trees, ravens call overhead, and curious wanderers may find a few unexpected things hidden along the way. Days here are meant to move slowly. Wander the trails. Listen for owls after dark. Watch the fire. Look for mushrooms and tiny forest treasures. Or do absolutely nothing at all. Nestled among the trees is Camp Kyle, our tiny off-grid cabin built for unplugging from the modern world—without giving up the pleasure of climbing into a king-sized bed at the end of the day. Outside, you'll find a covered kitchen and dining area and a large open firepit for long evenings beneath the stars. Raven Hollow is intentionally rustic. This isn't a resort tucked into the woods... the woods are the experience. Expect wildlife, changing weather, dirt beneath your boots, dark skies, crackling fires and all the little sounds that come with sleeping in a forest. And while the Hollow can feel wonderfully far away from everything, you aren't. Chesley is about 10 minutes away and Hanover about 20, with hiking, waterfalls, beaches, swimming, fishing, small towns and plenty more to explore throughout the surrounding area. There are also lots of backroads and opportunities for ATV and side-by-side adventures nearby. Dogs are very welcome, but must remain leashed at all times while exploring Raven Hollow. Come wander awhile. The Hollow is waiting. Please Note: Our family does live on the property, however we are very far away from the campsite. We do share a driveway with the campsite and drive past now and then.

Brant, ON · 6 sites · Tents, RVs

It was 1984 when John found his ‘diamond in the rough’, 20 acres with an orchard on the outskirts of Brantford. O.K., so the house was nothing to write home about but perfect for building a construction yard…no neighbors except for the family across the road that used their property to build log homes. By 1987 the old house was gone, a new one was being built and a shop for working on heavy equipment had been located about 200 ft. from Dr. the back door. It wasn’t until 1996 that things changed very much. Yes, the property around the house had benefitted from a wide array of trees and shrubs that John saved from the construction/demolition jobs he had done and that still thrive today but no big projects (except for equipment purchases) were ongoing. A chance meeting with the neighbor across the road one day resulted in the following dinner conversation, ‘How was your day’ I chirped. ‘Not bad, so-and-so didn’t come in; the truck broke down and I took it for repair; I bought the property across the road, and oh, yeah I’ll need a ride after dinner to pick up the truck’ was John’s casual reply. ‘What was that’? I pressed. ‘Yes, I need a ride after dinner to pick up the truck’ he repeated with a bit more volume. Of course like anyone, I had questions, ‘Do you want peas or corn with dinner’? ‘What time do you want to go to get the truck’? ‘The property across the road’, 10 acres, still has the 4 storey barn with its twin tiled silos which was built in 1914 and the big white house with wrap around porch that once was home to a Doctor and his family. Built so the Doctor could see his patients in the front with the family living in the back was very common in the day. Things remained relatively peaceful until 2000 when after studying alpacas for more than 6 years I bought our first three. Back in 2000 alpacas and llamas were not frequently seen on farms and because they could been seen from the road they received A LOT of attention. People driving by would stop and ask about them, ask if they could take a picture or two and that was when I would hear over and over again ‘You have a beautiful place here, I wish I/we could stay’. Well, if you want to visit and stay in the city it’s doable, we call it a hotel. But visiting a farm and staying well, that isn’t so easy. Each year we would see more and more families coming to ‘The Farm’ as they would call it. Some came to see the alpacas and horses, some came for a stroll and to check out the horse drawn milk and bread delivery wagons, some to have family birthday parties, others to have engagement/wedding/Christmas card pictures…and so many asked if there was any way they could spend a day or two. In 2021 during a conversation with a friend I mentioned we were in the process of gutting the 1100 sq. ft. space downstairs and turning it into an Airbnb! Right away she said, ‘I don’t know why you don’t have a Hipcamp? You’ve got that great area by the new barn that Hipcampers would love’! After a little investigation I found out what a Hipcamp was and the rest is history.

Southgate, ON · 9 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

This beautiful spot was re-forested with pine a number of years ago, and was sectioned off from the surrounding farmland, which is now maintained by the mennonite community. It is 8 1/2 acres of wetland and forest, with a mown perimeter, and cool places to tuck into the forest for the night. The current owner was a special educator, and now is slowly turning the land into her homestead. There is a beautiful, spa quality outdoor shower next to a tidy and 'fancier than most' outhouse, a strawberry patch as well as wild alpine strawberries all over the property, a big dog and a small indoor cat keep her company. Here is what the land offers: -Bunkie in the Forest: A sweet 8x8 ft. space with new bunk and mattresses as of April 2023 -Strawberry Fields bunkie: an 10x12 space with a loft with a queen memory foam mattress and a main floor with a full futon and a small table -Campsites: Meadow, Forest and River spots. Close to each other, but you'd never know it! All three are chill and serene places. The property backs onto a ten-foot swimming hole in an otherwise shallow part of the Saugeen River. -RV Spot: With electric hook up ideal for RVs 30 feet and under -a connection to the organization, 'Black Folks Camp Too'! Welcoming to all!!!!! So much to see and do in the area!

Find Your Peace at Monarch Landing at Morgan's Point Tucked beside Morgan's Point Conservation Area on the shores of Lake Erie, Monarch Landing is a small, family-owned camping retreat created for people who appreciate quiet spaces, nature, and the simple joy of slowing down. Unlike large campgrounds, we offer only a handful of spacious campsites beneath mature trees, giving every guest room to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Step through the gate at the edge of the property and follow a scenic wooded path directly into the conservation area, where you'll emerge along one of Lake Erie's most beautiful and lesser-known shorelines. Spend your days searching for fossils among the ancient limestone shelves, exploring the Niagara Geopark, watching birds along the shoreline, or simply enjoying spectacular sunsets over the lake. Whether you're an early riser with a coffee in hand or someone who loves ending the day around a campfire beneath the stars, this is a place to reconnect with nature. What you'll enjoy: • Spacious campsites with plenty of room to spread out • Large, mature trees providing shade and privacy • Direct walking access to Morgan's Point Conservation Area • A private trail leading to the Lake Erie shoreline • Clean guest washroom with a flush toilet and sink • Potable drinking water available on-site • Firewood available for purchase • RV site with hydro service • A peaceful atmosphere, perfect for couples, families, solo travellers, and outdoor enthusiasts Although you'll feel immersed in nature, you're still only a short drive from Port Colborne, Long Beach, wineries, restaurants, golf courses, and many of Niagara's best attractions. Whether you're here for a quiet weekend, a sunset walk along Lake Erie, or simply to unwind around a campfire, we hope you'll leave feeling refreshed—and already planning your next visit.

Weekend Trip to White Pines Cabin Retreat

We had an amazing time and had amazing hosts. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your beautiful place! It was perfect trip away from the city, and we certainly over packed because everything we needed was provided. Our favourite thing was the location and the calm creek right in front of the cabin (was certainly our dogs favorite part too!)

2 nights at The Farm

We had a wonderful stay at The Farm. Clean, level, campsite. Clean porta-potty. Stunning sunset. Karen (host) is a delight. She gave us a great tour of the farm, taught us some history, and introduced us to the horses and alpacas. She also gave us local recommendations for food and treats, so we were able to deliciously support some local businesses on the way out of town. The one thing I would note is that the yellow and blue campsites are right beside each other with no clear line of division between them. Same with red and green across the driveway. We were the only ones there, and it was very peaceful, but take that into account if it is important to you to have separated space. Our group agreed that we would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!!

2 nights at Raven Hollow - Woodland Retreat

The cabin and site are beautiful and well maintained with thoughtful touches like provided drinking water, fire starter, rocks to choose from, and a clean environment. My only issues were that the camp site is next to the road so you can hear (but not see) nearby traffic (which wasn't constant by any means, but was noticeable at times on a holiday weekend), several vehicles drove down the driveway past us and back throughout our time to their homes on the property, and that I wasn't aware the hosts live on the same land. Privacy was the most important consideration when choosing a site as we have a reactive, anxious (but friendly) dog. The host has since updated the listing to include this information and was really receptive to feedback! Their home is quite far from the campsite, but the driveway is shared. Not a complaint, but there is also very minimal cell reception for maps/navigation so make sure you download maps before you get in the area for save travels. Our dog had the time of his life and the fall colours were breath-taking!

Weekend Trip to The Farm

We had a wonderful stay! The sunrise site is very private and spacious, with a beautiful view overlooking a huge open grass field. It’s such a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy nature. Karen was super friendly and welcoming! She gave us an informative tour of the property, let us interact with the animals, and shared some great recommendations for local places to visit. One thing worth mentioning for anyone particular about washrooms: the toilet is a portable flushing toilet. It was well-maintained and clean, so we had no issues with it. Overall, a lovely camping experience. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend The Farm!

Weekend Trip to WILLOWJAYS (Farm with Views)

This is our second time visiting this beautiful place, and once again, it was a wonderful experience! Last year, we stayed in a yurt surrounded by fields after the crops had been harvested. This year, we stayed in a tent with the farm filled with corn and two adorable, friendly cats who made our stay even more special. 🐈🌽 Coincidentally, we visited on the exact same dates both years, yet each visit offered a completely different experience! It’s a wonderful place for stargazing and enjoying the beauty of nature. Unfortunately, it was rainy and cloudy this time, so we couldn’t enjoy the starry skies as we had hoped. But that didn’t make our stay any less special — there was never a dull moment! The place is peaceful, quiet, clean, and feels safe — a much-needed escape from the busy streets and everyday hustle. It’s the perfect spot to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy some quality time away. The host was very responsive and welcoming, promptly helping us with any questions we had and making our stay comfortable. A beautiful place to unwind, with a different experience every year. We would happily come back again! 🌿✨
