Campgrounds near Westport, Ontario
Westport sits at the western end of Upper Rideau Lake, part of the Rideau Canal UNESCO World Heritage Waterway that stretches from Ottawa to Kingston. RV travellers use the village as a base for lake camping, paddling, and fishing across a chain of interconnected lakes in Leeds and Grenville counties.
Options in the area range from full-service private resorts to a provincial park. Waterways RV Resort operates on the shores of Big Rideau Lake near Portland, offering transient RV sites, rental cottages, dock rentals, and family amenities. Sunnyside Campground is primarily seasonal and runs from spring through Canadian Thanksgiving. Mcgowan Lake Campground Inc adds another private-park option nearby.
About 30 minutes north, Murphys Point Provincial Park sits on Big Rideau Lake near Perth and offers a mix of electrical and non-electrical sites, roofed accommodation, and group campsites within a 1,239-hectare natural environment park.
Things to do around Westport
The Rideau Canal system is the main draw. Big Rideau Lake supports boating, swimming, and fishing for lake trout, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and northern pike, with an Ontario fishing licence required. Motorboats are allowed on Big Rideau, but paddling-only water inside Hogg Bay and on Loon Lake at Murphys Point keeps those coves quiet for canoes and kayaks.
On land, Murphys Point Provincial Park has five nature trails ranging from the 1-kilometre Loon Lake Trail to the 6.5-kilometre Rideau Trail, plus guided tours of the restored Silver Queen Mica Mine offered up to three times per week in July and August and on weekends in fall.
In Westport itself, visitors find local shops, restaurants, and the Foley Mountain Conservation Area lookout over Upper Rideau Lake.

The Ontario camping season in this region runs roughly from mid-May to mid-October. Murphys Point Provincial Park is open for camping from mid-May until mid-October, then reopens from mid-December to mid-March for winter day use only, with groomed cross-country ski and snowshoe trails maintained by the Tay Valley Cross-Country Ski Club. Sunnyside Campground operates from spring through the Monday of Canadian Thanksgiving.
July and August are the busiest months. Canada Day weekend around July 1 and the August Civic Holiday weekend book out well in advance. Ontario Parks bans alcohol on Victoria Day and for the ten days preceding it, which affects planning for the long weekend that opens the season.
Bugs follow a predictable pattern in the Rideau Lakes. Black flies run from mid-spring into June, mosquitoes peak in late spring and continue through summer, and ticks can be active any time snow is off the ground. Fall brings cooler nights, colour on the maples, and lighter crowds through Thanksgiving weekend.

How to book a site near Westport
Murphys Point Provincial Park reservations are handled through the Ontario Parks system, either online at reservations.ontarioparks.ca or by phone at 1-888-668-7275. The Ontario Parks system opens the reservation window five months in advance of the arrival date, at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time, and popular summer weekends sell out early. Group campsites can also be booked by calling the park directly at 613-267-5060.
Private resorts book independently. Waterways RV Resort, Sunnyside Campground, and Mcgowan Lake Campground Inc each take reservations through their own websites or phone lines rather than through Ontario Parks. If a preferred provincial park site is full, checking again around the four-month mark, when reservation changes and cancellations first become possible, often turns up availability.
What to expect on site
Sites vary widely between parks. At Murphys Point, Hogg Bay Campground has the electrical pull-through sites best suited to larger trailers, while Hardwood and Fallows are non-electrical loops geared to tents and smaller rigs. The park is hilly and many sites require levelling, so extra blocks are worth packing. Comfort stations with flush toilets, showers, and laundry serve the campground loops, and cell service can be spotty.
Private resorts on Big Rideau Lake tend to offer fuller services, including shower and laundry buildings, dock rentals, and family amenities. Guests wanting a waterfront site should compare private resorts against provincial park loops before booking. An Ontario fishing licence must be purchased in advance, as Ontario Parks does not sell them at the gate.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Westport, ON
How much does an RV rental in Westport, Ontario typically cost?
Renting an RV in Westport is one of the more affordable ways to enjoy the Rideau Lakes region. On RVezy, travel trailers near Westport generally start around CAD $100 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes typically range from CAD $200 to $325 per night, and larger Class A units run higher. You'll get the best value by booking shoulder season (May, early June, or September) when nightly rates and campground fees drop noticeably from the July and August peak. Pro tip: filter listings by Instant Book and look for hosts offering weekly discounts, which can save 10 to 20 percent on a longer Rideau Canal trip. Many hosts also include extras like camping chairs and kitchen kits at no charge.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Westport%2C%20OntarioWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Westport, Ontario?
Good news: a regular Ontario G class driver's licence (or equivalent from another province, state, or country) is all you need to rent most RVs in Westport. No special RV endorsement or commercial licence is required for the Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, and travel trailers that make up the majority of listings near the Rideau Lakes. RVezy approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and ID is verified securely through the platform during checkout. Visiting from outside Canada? Bring your home driver's licence along with an International Driving Permit if your licence isn't in English or French, and you're set to roll out toward Foley Mountain.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my Westport RV rental protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every RV rental in Westport booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can cruise the backroads to Perth or Kingston with real peace of mind. The protection plan covers damage to the vehicle during your trip, and you choose your coverage level during the booking process (not the host), letting you match protection to your comfort. Coverage details and limits vary by plan tier, so it provides meaningful financial protection if a mishap happens on a gravel road near Foley Mountain or in a tight downtown Westport parking spot. Pro tip: review the coverage options carefully at checkout and pick the tier that lets you relax and enjoy the lake.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Westport RV trip plans change?
Booking with confidence is easy: RVezy (not the individual host) sets the cancellation policy for every RV rental in Westport, Ontario, and it includes a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in your dates without stress. Refund eligibility after that window depends on how far out you cancel relative to your trip start date. Because the policy is managed by RVezy rather than appearing on each listing, you'll see the full details at checkout and in your booking confirmation. Pro tip: book early for popular weekends like the Westport Heritage Festival, then enjoy the flexibility of that grace period while you finalize plans.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Westport?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental in Westport is easy to find. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you'll see plenty of motorhomes and travel trailers ready to welcome your dog (some hosts charge a small pet fee, listed upfront). Westport is a wonderfully dog-friendly village: leashed pups are welcome on the trails at Foley Mountain Conservation Area, along the Rideau Trail, and on the waterfront walkways near the Westport Municipal Harbour. Most nearby campgrounds, including those in the Rideau Lakes region, allow leashed pets on sites. Pro tip: pack a long lead so your dog can lounge outside at your campsite while you watch the sunset over Upper Rideau Lake.
ontarioparks.ca/park/frontenacCan the RV be delivered to my campsite near Westport?
Yes, RV delivery in Westport is one of the smartest ways to skip the driving and start your vacation faster. Many RVezy hosts in the Rideau Lakes region offer to deliver, set up, and level your motorhome or travel trailer right at your campsite, cottage driveway, or event venue, then return at the end of your stay to pack everything up. Popular delivery destinations include Rideau Ferry, Murphys Point Provincial Park, and private properties around Upper Rideau Lake. Filter listings by Delivery to see hosts who offer it (a per-kilometre fee usually applies). Pro tip: this is the ideal option if it's your first time renting an RV, since the host handles all the tricky parking and hookups.
ontarioparks.ca/park/murphyspointHow far can I drive on a Westport RV rental, and is unlimited mileage available?
You'll have plenty of range for a great Westport RV trip. Most hosts include a daily kilometre allowance (commonly 200 km per day) with a small per-kilometre fee beyond that, and some listings offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect if you're planning a longer road trip from Westport along the Rideau Canal. For perspective, Ottawa is about 100 km northeast, Kingston is roughly 80 km south, Perth is about 35 km north, and Algonquin Provincial Park is roughly 300 km away. Pro tip: filter for Unlimited Mileage if you're touring multiple lock stations like Jones Falls and Chaffeys Locks, and you'll travel without watching the odometer.
pc.gc.ca/en/lhn-nhs/on/rideauWhere are the best campgrounds near Westport, Ontario?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping in Westport. A few favourites: Rideau Ferry Harbour Park offers serviced waterfront sites about 25 minutes north on Big Rideau Lake; Murphys Point Provincial Park near Perth has wooded sites with electrical hookups and beautiful hiking; Bellamy Lake Park, just south of Westport, is a quieter family-run option; and Sleepy Hollow Camping Resort in nearby Athens has full hookups, a pool, and a sandy beach. For a backcountry vibe, Frontenac Provincial Park is 40 minutes south. Pro tip: book Ontario Parks sites up to five months ahead through the Ontario Parks reservation system, especially for July, August, and any weekend during peak fall colours at Foley Mountain.
ontarioparks.ca/reservationsWhen is the best time of year to visit Westport in an RV?
Westport is genuinely a four-season destination, but the sweet spot for an RV rental in Westport, Ontario is late May through mid-October. Summer (late June to August) brings warm days around 24 to 27 C and lively patios, harbour boating, and the Westport Heritage Festival, while September and early October deliver crisp 10 to 20 C days and spectacular fall colours on Foley Mountain. Spring (May) is quieter with cooler nights around 5 to 10 C, ideal for budget travellers. Winters are cold (often -10 to -15 C, occasionally colder) and most Ontario Parks campgrounds close, though some hosts offer winterized rigs for ice fishing or snowmobiling. Pro tip: book mid-September for the best mix of warm days, low rates, and stunning foliage.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving around Westport?
Yes, first time renting an RV in Westport is a great place to start. Roads in the Rideau Lakes area are generally quiet, well-paved, and easy to navigate, with County Road 10 and Highway 42 being the main approaches into the village. Every RVezy host provides a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through driving, hookups, water, propane, and the dump valves before you head out. You can also message hosts before booking with any questions, and 24/7 roadside assistance is included with every trip. Pro tip: choose a Class B campervan or smaller Class C for your first trip; they're easier to maneuver on the curvy approach into downtown Westport and tight cottage driveways.
ontario.ca/page/driving-and-roadsWhat happens if my RV breaks down near Westport?
You're covered. Every RV rental booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection package, so if you get a flat on Highway 15 or have a mechanical hiccup at Foley Mountain Conservation Area, help is one phone call away. The team can dispatch a tow, tire change, jump start, or fuel delivery, and the RVezy support team can help coordinate with your host. Cell coverage is generally solid in Westport and along the main routes to Kingston and Ottawa, though it can be spotty on some back roads near Bobs Lake. Pro tip: save the RVezy support number and your host's number in your phone before you leave, and download offline maps for the rural Rideau Lakes stretches.
ontario.ca/page/road-safetyWhat are the best road trip routes from Westport in an RV?
An RV road trip from Westport puts some of Ontario's most scenic drives at your doorstep. Popular routes include the Rideau Heritage Route to Ottawa (about 100 km, with lock-station stops at Jones Falls, Chaffeys, and Smiths Falls), the Thousand Islands Parkway via Kingston (about 110 km south), Prince Edward County wine country (roughly 200 km southwest), and a northern loop through Perth toward Algonquin Provincial Park (roughly 300 km). Cross-border travel into the United States is permitted with many hosts (confirm in advance), but travel to Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals. Pro tip: the Rideau Canal lock stations make perfect picnic and overnight stops, and Parks Canada offers seasonal mooring if you bring a kayak along.
pc.gc.ca/en/lhn-nhs/on/rideau/visitHow much should I budget for fuel on a Westport RV trip?
Fuel is one of the easier line items to plan for. Most Class B campervans average around 12 to 16 L/100km, Class C motorhomes typically run 20 to 28 L/100km, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle. Gas prices in the Westport area typically run a few cents per litre higher than Kingston or Ottawa, so it's smart to fill up before leaving the city or at the larger stations in Perth or Smiths Falls. A typical 4-day Rideau Lakes loop covering 400 km might use roughly 80 to 110 litres in a Class C. Pro tip: keep your driving speed around 90 km/h on Highway 15 and Highway 7 for noticeably better mileage, and group your sightseeing stops to avoid backtracking between Westport and the lock stations.
natural-resources.canada.ca/energy-efficiency/transportation-alternative-fuels/fuel-consumption-guideHow far ahead should I book campgrounds near Westport?
Booking early is the easy win. Ontario Parks (which manages Murphys Point and Frontenac Provincial Park near Westport) opens reservations on a rolling five-month window through their online reservation system, and prime July and August weekends fill within hours of opening. For private campgrounds like Sleepy Hollow or Bellamy Lake Park, aim to book 2 to 3 months ahead for summer. Shoulder-season trips in May, June, or September are much more relaxed, often with availability just a week or two out. Pro tip: if you snag a midweek site (Sunday to Thursday) you'll find more availability, lower rates, and a quieter dock at Westport Municipal Harbour for evening strolls.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/What are driving conditions like in and around Westport?
Driving conditions around Westport are mostly relaxed and RV-friendly. The main approaches (County Road 10 from Highway 401, Highway 42, and the Perth Road) are paved, well-maintained, and have moderate traffic outside of summer Friday afternoons. Expect rolling hills, a few sharp curves near Foley Mountain, and occasional wildlife (deer especially at dawn and dusk). Some cottage roads off the main routes are gravel and narrow, so larger Class A motorhomes do best sticking to numbered roads. Winter brings snow and icy stretches from December through March. Pro tip: avoid driving the windy Perth Road after dark if you're new to RVs, and use Highway 15 to Kingston for the smoothest big-rig route. Cell service is good on main roads and patchy on remote lakeshores.
ontario.ca/page/road-conditionsWhat amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Westport?
Campgrounds near Westport range from fully serviced to rustic, so you can pick what fits your trip. Ontario Parks sites like Murphys Point typically offer electrical hookups (15/30 amp), potable water taps, comfort stations with flush toilets and showers, and a sanitary dump station on-site (free for registered campers). Private parks like Sleepy Hollow Camping Resort often include full hookups (water, sewer, 30/50 amp), Wi-Fi, laundry, and a pool. In Westport itself, you can top up potable water and use the public dump station at participating municipal facilities (check with the Township of Rideau Lakes for current locations). Pro tip: arrive with a full freshwater tank and empty waste tanks; it makes settling into your site at Bellamy Lake or Frontenac much faster.
ontarioparks.ca/campingWhat's inside a typical RV rental in Westport?
You'll feel right at home. A typical motorhome rental in Westport comes fully equipped with a kitchen (fridge, stove, sink, cookware, often a microwave), a bathroom with toilet and shower, comfortable sleeping for 4 to 8 depending on the floor plan, a dinette, climate control, and seatbelted seats for travel. Most listings include a furnace and air conditioning, a propane tank, fresh and grey water tanks, and often a generator or solar setup for off-grid nights at Frontenac Provincial Park. Many hosts throw in linens, towels, a starter kitchen kit, and outdoor chairs. Pro tip: review each listing's amenities list carefully and message the host to confirm specifics like Wi-Fi hotspots or bike racks for the Westport waterfront paths.
rvezy.com/What add-ons and pickup options should I know about for a Westport RV rental?
RVezy hosts in Westport offer lots of helpful add-ons to customize your trip. Common extras include kitchen kits, bedding bundles, camp chairs and tables, BBQs, bike racks, kayak/SUP carriers, generators, and pet packages, with fees clearly listed on each listing. Pickup is usually at the host's home in or near Westport, Perth, Kingston, or Ottawa, and many hosts offer RV delivery to local campgrounds or cottages (often charged per kilometre). Mileage policies vary: some include 200 km per day, while others offer unlimited mileage. Pro tip: bundle delivery plus a setup add-on so the RV is waiting, leveled, and powered up when you arrive at Murphys Point or your Upper Rideau Lake cottage rental.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Westport%2C%20OntarioHow do payment and the security deposit work for a Westport RV rental?
Payment is simple and secure. You'll pay for your Westport RV rental through the RVezy platform with a credit card at the time of booking, which keeps everything in one place and protects both you and the host. A refundable security deposit is held separately from the booking payment (typically authorized on your card a few days before the trip) to cover items like damage, missing equipment, or extra cleaning. As long as you return the RV in the agreed condition with tanks handled per the host's instructions, the deposit is released after the trip. Pro tip: take time-stamped photos at pickup and drop-off of the exterior, interior, and odometer; it's the easiest way to keep your security deposit drama-free.
