The Ranch

11 sites · RVs20 acres · Kenora, ON
We have four sites with 30 amp RV power. One new site with 50 amp RV power (no pictures as yet) PLEASE NOTE: There are no outhouses/washrooms on the property, you must be self contained. Site 1 is in our opinion the best site but not the easiest to get in with a larger rig but have had a 43 ft unit in there. Site 2 is fairly level and grass area. Back in only. Site 3 is fairly level and grass area. Back in only. Site 4 is also fairly level and grass. It is pull through and offers a view of the lake. There is plenty of room to park tow or pull vehicle. Should one need there are leveling blocks available to use located to the right of site 2. The sites now have numbers either on the power posts or the panel box for ease of locating your spot. NOTE for 2025 water is not available at the sites as new lines are being installed. Water to fill your tank is available at our house. At present three of the sites have water feed from our home with potable water via garden hose. You may need to connect your hose to the supply line to reach your unit. When weather permits, early spring and late fall may not be available.

The best camping near Lake of the Woods guide

Overview

Camping at Lake of the Woods means lakeshore mornings, thick pine forests, and the call of loons at dusk. With 75 sites in the area, you’ll find places right on the water or tucked into the trees, many offering toilets, campfire rings, and pet-friendly policies. Expect an average nightly rate of $60, though you can score a spot for as little as $35. Top picks include Muriel Lake Beach Field Forest (21 reviews), The Ranch (16 reviews), and Bad Rabbit Resort (1 review). Bring your binoculars—wildlife-watching is a must. In winter, snow-sports take over the trails, while summer means a cold swim is always close by.
