Amaranth camping overview
Amaranth is a rural township in Dufferin County, Ontario, in the Grand River headwaters region between Orangeville and Shelburne. The area sits within the Hills of Headwaters tourism region, with a mix of farmland, wetlands, and rolling terrain that puts several private RV parks and one major provincial day-use park within a short drive.
RV travellers typically base out of private resorts in the surrounding townships. Rainbow Ridge Resort sits just west near Grand Valley as an adult 2SLGBTQ+ camping resort, and Summer Place Resort and RV Trail is also in the Grand Valley area. Highland Pines Campground lies to the southwest on the shores of Lake Belwood near Fergus, offering full hookups and lakeside recreation. Leisure Time Park and Trailer Sales Inc lies to the southeast in the Palgrave area, and Mono Cliffs Provincial Park, northeast near Mono, offers hiking access without on-site camping.
Amaranth itself is largely agricultural, so most trip plans combine an RV park stay with day trips to nearby escarpment trails, conservation areas, and the towns of Orangeville, Fergus, Elora, and Shelburne.
Things to do near Amaranth
Hiking is the headline activity. Mono Cliffs Provincial Park, a short drive to the east, offers a network of trails along the Niagara Escarpment with 30-metre cliffs, cliff-top lookouts, a wooden staircase and boardwalk known as Jacob's Ladder, and a small kettle lake. Roughly six kilometres of the Bruce Trail run through the park, connecting to the wider Bruce Trail system for longer treks.
Water-based recreation centres on Lake Belwood to the southwest, where Highland Pines Campground offers swimming, fishing, and boat launching from an on-site marina. Cycling, horseback riding, and birdwatching are common across the surrounding wetlands and forests.
Nearby towns give families rainy-day options. Elora Gorge, the town of Fergus, and downtown Orangeville are all within a reasonable drive for shops, ice cream stops, and river walks.

Most private campgrounds in the Amaranth area follow an Ontario seasonal calendar. Highland Pines Campground, for example, operates from May through October, and similar dates apply to Summer Place Resort and RV Trail and Leisure Time Park and Trailer Sales Inc. Rainbow Ridge Resort keeps a longer operating window than most private parks in the region.
Summer is peak season. July and August bring the warmest, most stable weather, with average highs in the mid-20s Celsius, and RV sites at family-oriented parks like Highland Pines can fill weeks in advance for weekends and Canada Day. Late June is often a good compromise between availability and warm water temperatures at Lake Belwood.
September and early October are strong choices for hikers, with cooler temperatures and fall colour peaking along the escarpment. Mono Cliffs is open year-round for day use, and winter turns its trails into a quiet snowshoeing and cross-country ski destination even after private RV parks have closed.

How to book near Amaranth
Private RV resorts around Amaranth handle their own reservations. Highland Pines Campground, Summer Place Resort and RV Trail, Rainbow Ridge Resort, and Leisure Time Park and Trailer Sales Inc each book directly through their websites or by phone, with seasonal sites reserved months ahead and short-stay RV sites released for individual bookings.
Mono Cliffs Provincial Park is day-use only, with no overnight camping on site. Access requires a vehicle day-use permit reserved through the Ontario Parks reservation system online or by calling 1-888-ONT-PARK. Parking capacity is limited and there is no entry booth on site, so advance booking with a QR code emailed to visitors is strongly recommended on weekends and during fall colour season. The nearest provincial park with camping is Earl Rowe, to the northeast.
What to expect in Amaranth
Expect a rural driving experience. Amaranth's road grid uses numbered Lines running parallel to Highway 10 and numbered Sideroads crossing them, which is easy to navigate but relies on GPS for first-time visitors. Cell coverage can be spotty near Mono Cliffs, so downloading offline maps before arrival is wise.
RV parks in the area lean family-oriented and social, with pools, playgrounds, and organized activities at larger resorts like Highland Pines. Sites at busy weekends are often close together with limited natural screening, so travellers wanting more privacy should ask about site layout when booking.
Weather can shift quickly on the escarpment. Pack layers even in summer, plan for possible thunderstorms in June and July, and bring sturdy shoes for any Mono Cliffs hike, as trails include rocky staircases, metal steps, and wooden boardwalks.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Amaranth, ON
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Amaranth, ON?
An RV rental in Amaranth is one of the more affordable ways to explore Ontario's Headwaters region. On RVezy, you'll typically see travel trailers from about $100 to $175 CAD per night, campervans around $150 to $225, and larger Class C motorhomes between $200 and $325 depending on season and the age of the unit. Book mid-week or in the May or late-September shoulder season for the cheapest RV rental Amaranth has on offer, and bundle delivery to save fuel on your first trip. Pro tip: filter by Instant Book to see hosts with transparent pricing and quick confirmations, so you can lock in your rural Dufferin County getaway in minutes.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Amaranth%2C%20OntarioWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Amaranth, Ontario?
Your regular Ontario G-class driver's licence (or equivalent from your home province, state, or country) is all you need to rent an RV in Amaranth. No special RV licence, air-brake endorsement, or commercial licence is required for the motorhomes, campervans, and travel trailers listed on RVezy. Approved renters are generally 25 or older, and you'll upload a photo of your licence through the RVezy platform for a quick identity check before pickup. Visiting from overseas? Pair your home licence with an International Driving Permit before you fly in. Most first-timers are surprised how smooth the whole process is, so you can spend less time on paperwork and more time enjoying your Dufferin County RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RVezy's protection package included when I rent in Amaranth?
Yes, every RV rental in Amaranth booked through RVezy automatically includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit Highway 89 or County Road 12 with real peace of mind. The protection plan covers physical damage to the RV during your trip, and you'll choose from a few coverage tiers during checkout based on how much extra security you want (you select the plan, not the host). Add a quick walk-around photo at pickup with your host and you're protected from the moment you drive away.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Amaranth RV rental?
You've got real flexibility. RVezy sets the cancellation policy across the platform (it's not host-defined), so the same fair terms apply to every booking. The policy includes a grace period right after you book, and after that window refunds depend on how far out from your trip you cancel. If a host cancels on you, RVezy refunds your booking or provides credits so you're never left scrambling. Pro tip: book early to secure the best rigs for summer weekends near Mono Cliffs, knowing the cancellation policy is clear and consistent across every listing.
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 Amaranth?
Absolutely, dogs are welcome on plenty of trips. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to instantly see every pet-friendly RV rental Amaranth hosts offer, then message the host with your pup's size and shedding habits so they can confirm. Once you're on the road, your four-legged co-pilot will love the leashed trails at nearby Island Lake Conservation Area in Orangeville (just south of Amaranth) and the Bruce Trail sections through Mulmur and Mono, all of which allow leashed dogs. Pro tip: pack a collapsible water bowl and a tie-out stake for shaded campsite time, and check whether your chosen campground has any pet-restricted loops before you arrive.
ontarioparks.ca/park/monocliffsCan the RV be delivered right to my campsite in Amaranth?
Yes, and it's one of the smartest ways to start your first trip. Many RVezy hosts offer RV delivery across Amaranth and Dufferin County, meaning they'll tow or drive the RV to your campsite, driveway, or a property near Grand Valley, Shelburne, or Orangeville, then level it, hook it up, and walk you through everything before handing over the keys. No towing nerves, no awkward backing into a tight site, and no learning curve on day one. Delivery fees usually run by the kilometre from the host's location, so booking a host based in or near Amaranth keeps costs down. Pro tip: ask about pickup at the end of your stay too, so you can simply lock up and drive home.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037759173-RV-deliveryWhat kind of mileage allowance comes with an Amaranth RV rental?
You'll have plenty of road ahead of you. Most RVezy hosts in Amaranth include a daily kilometre allowance (commonly 100 to 200 km per day) with additional kilometres available at a small per-km rate, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect for longer loops. From Amaranth, you're about 25 km to Orangeville, 110 km to Toronto, 145 km to Wasaga Beach, 220 km to Tobermory's Bruce Peninsula, and 300 km to Algonquin Park's west gate, all easily mapped before you book. Check the mileage line on each listing, then message the host if you're planning a longer Ontario RV road trip from Amaranth so they can offer a package that fits.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037759213-Mileage-and-generator-usageWhere should I camp with my RV near Amaranth, ON?
You're surrounded by some of southern Ontario's best campgrounds. Top picks within an hour of Amaranth include Earl Rowe Provincial Park near Alliston (about 45 km east, with electrical RV sites and a swimming beach) and Albion Hills Conservation Park in Caledon (around 50 km south, with serviced sites and mountain bike trails). For trips heading toward the GTA, Glen Rouge Campground in Toronto is a useful base, and Wasaga Beach Provincial Park is about 90 km north for a classic Georgian Bay weekend. For something closer and quieter, Boyne Valley Provincial Park is a short drive, and Mono Cliffs Provincial Park is day-use only but unbeatable for hikes. Book Ontario Parks sites up to five months ahead through the official reservation site.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/When is the best time of year to take an RV trip from Amaranth?
Late May through early October is your sweet spot for an Amaranth RV trip, with the absolute peak running from mid-June to early September. Summer daytime highs in this part of Dufferin County typically sit in the mid-20s Celsius with cool overnight lows, perfect sleeping weather in a campervan. September brings stunning Niagara Escarpment fall colour and far fewer crowds at Mono Cliffs and Hockley Valley. Winter rentals are possible with cold-weather-ready RVs (think heated tanks and propane furnaces), but expect snow and well below-freezing temperatures. Pro tip: book the last weekend of September for warm hikes, cool nights, and a campfire under fiery maple leaves.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving one around Amaranth?
You're going to be just fine, and Amaranth is one of the friendliest places to start. The township is rural with wide, straight concession roads, light traffic, and very few tight urban turns to worry about, ideal for first time renting an RV. Every RVezy host walks you through the rig at pickup: how to extend the slide, fill the water tank, switch the propane, level the unit, and operate the awning, so you'll never be left guessing. They're also a text away during your entire trip, and 24/7 roadside assistance is included with your protection plan. Pro tip: do a short practice loop on County Road 12 before heading to a campground, and you'll feel like a pro within an hour.
ontario.ca/document/official-mto-drivers-handbookWhat happens if something goes wrong on the road?
You're never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on Highway 10, a dead battery at a Shelburne gas station, or a tow from a backroad near Grand Valley is handled with one phone call. Your host is also your first text-message lifeline for the quirky stuff (where's the fuse box? how do I reset the water pump?), and RVezy's support team is reachable before, during, and after your trip. Pro tip: snap a photo of the roadside-assistance number from your booking confirmation and stick it to the fridge inside the RV before you leave the driveway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best road trip routes from Amaranth?
Amaranth sits in a sweet spot for an Ontario RV road trip from Amaranth in almost any direction. Head north on Highway 10 for the Blue Mountains and Wasaga Beach (about 90 to 100 km), northeast via Highways 89 and 400 to Muskoka and Algonquin (250 to 320 km), or northwest to Sauble Beach and the Bruce Peninsula (around 200 km) for Tobermory's turquoise waters and the famous Flowerpot Island ferry. A favourite three-day loop: Amaranth to Wasaga, on to Tobermory, back through Owen Sound and the Beaver Valley. Cross-border trips into the US are allowed with many hosts (just confirm in advance), but travel into Mexico is not covered.
ontario511.ca/How much will fuel cost on my Amaranth RV trip?
Fuel is easier to budget than most first-timers expect. Travel trailers and campervans in this area average around 14 to 18 litres per 100 km, while larger Class C motorhomes burn closer to 22 to 28 litres per 100 km on Ontario highways. Gas prices in Dufferin County typically run a few cents below downtown Toronto rates, with stations in Shelburne, Grand Valley, and Orangeville being the most convenient fill-ups near Amaranth. A typical weekend loop of 400 km in a Class C will run roughly $130 to $180 CAD in fuel at current pump prices. Pro tip: fill up in Orangeville before heading north on Highway 10, prices climb the closer you get to cottage country.
ontario.ca/page/gas-pricesHow far in advance should I book campgrounds near Amaranth?
Lock in popular Ontario Parks campgrounds five months ahead, the day the reservation window opens at 7 a.m. Eastern, especially for July and August weekends at Earl Rowe, Wasaga Beach, and the Bruce Peninsula National Park. Reservations are made through the Ontario Parks reservation service (reservations.ontarioparks.ca) for provincial parks, and through Parks Canada for national parks. Conservation areas like Albion Hills (Toronto and Region Conservation Authority) and Island Lake (Credit Valley Conservation) open their own systems and often have shorter lead times. Pro tip: weekday arrivals are far easier to grab, and many private campgrounds within 30 minutes of Amaranth still have availability just a week or two out.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/What are local driving conditions like around Amaranth?
Driving around Amaranth is refreshingly relaxed compared to the GTA. Roads here are mostly flat to gently rolling, with paved concession roads, well-maintained county routes, and Highway 10 as the main north-south corridor. Watch for farm equipment in spring and fall, occasional wildlife (deer especially at dusk near Luther Marsh), and strong crosswinds on open stretches like Highway 89, which can push a tall motorhome around a bit. Winter brings real snow and sometimes lake-effect squalls drifting in from Georgian Bay, so check Ontario 511 before heading out November through March. Pro tip: avoid driving into Toronto during weekday rush hours, leave south of Orangeville before 6 a.m. or after 10 a.m. for the smoothest ride.
ontario511.ca/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Amaranth?
Most campgrounds near Amaranth come well-equipped for a comfortable stay. Ontario Parks sites at Earl Rowe and Wasaga Beach offer electrical hookups (15, 30, and some 50 amp), potable water taps, dump stations, flush toilets and hot showers in comfort stations, and laundry at the larger parks. Private RV parks around Shelburne and Grand Valley typically add full hookups (water, sewer, electric at the site), Wi-Fi, and propane refills. The nearest dump stations to Amaranth are at Earl Rowe Provincial Park and Albion Hills Conservation Park, and you can top up fresh water at most municipal arenas and conservation areas. Pro tip: pack a 25-foot drinking-water hose and a 30-amp-to-15-amp adapter to handle almost any hookup combo you'll encounter.
ontarioparks.ca/park/earlrowe/campingWhat's typically included inside an RV rental in Amaranth?
Quite a lot, actually. Most RV rentals in Amaranth come move-in ready with comfortable beds (queen masters, bunks, and convertible dinettes), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and basic cookware, an indoor bathroom with toilet and shower, propane furnace, air conditioning, and seatbelts for every traveller listed on your booking. Many campervan rental Amaranth options on RVezy add bonuses like solar panels, outdoor showers, Bluetooth stereos, or backup cameras, while larger Class C motorhomes often include onboard generators, TVs, and outdoor awnings. Wi-Fi is usually a bring-your-own situation (a hotspot or your phone), since rural Dufferin County cell coverage is solid but not universal. Pro tip: check the listing photos and amenities checklist, then message the host with anything missing from your packing list.
rvezy.com/What add-ons and options can I get with my Amaranth RV rental?
Hosts in the Amaranth area offer some genuinely useful add-ons to customize your trip. Common extras include camping chairs and tables, bedding and linen packages, kitchen kits, bike racks, BBQs, generators, kayak or canoe carriers, and even pre-stocked firewood, with most extras running $10 to $50 CAD each. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Amaranth, Shelburne, Grand Valley, or Orangeville, and dropoff is at the same place at the agreed time. Mileage allowances are shown on every listing along with the overage rate, so there are no surprises at checkout. Pro tip: bundling the bedding and kitchen kits saves a packing headache and turns your first-night arrival into a stress-free dinner-by-the-fire.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Amaranth%2C%20OntarioHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and fully handled through the RVezy platform, you never hand cash or a cheque to your host. You'll pay your booking total (rental, protection plan, taxes, and any add-ons) by credit card when you confirm. The security deposit is separate from the booking payment and is pre-authorized on your card before pickup, typically $500 to $1,500 CAD depending on the RV. As long as you return the rig in the same condition, with the agreed fuel and tank levels, the deposit hold is released after your trip. Pro tip: take date-stamped photos and a short video of the interior and exterior at both pickup and dropoff, it's the easiest way to keep the entire process smooth and dispute-free.
