Camping near Bonfield, Ontario
Bonfield is a small township in northeastern Ontario positioned between North Bay and Mattawa along Highway 17, giving RV travellers a practical base for exploring the Mattawa River corridor and the northwest edge of Algonquin Provincial Park. The area is lake country: rocky Canadian Shield terrain, mixed boreal forest, and dozens of paddling routes within a short drive.
The closest options combine private and provincial campgrounds. Camp Conewango Campground and Fairview Park Camping & Marina sit near Bonfield itself, while Champlain Tent Trailer and RV Park offers another private option in the immediate area. Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park lies a short drive east along Highway 17 and is the main provincial destination in the region.
For travellers willing to head further, Kiosk - Algonquin Provincial Park is reached by turning south from Highway 17 onto Highway 630, providing rustic access to Algonquin's quieter northwest corner. Together these sites cover a range of RV needs, from serviced private parks to basic provincial camping.
Things to do near Bonfield
Paddling defines the region. The Mattawa River, part of the historic voyageur route, runs through Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park, and canoe and kayak rentals are available at the park store for visitors who arrive without their own boat. Kioshkokwi Lake at Kiosk is a large paddling lake, and outfitters will deliver canoes directly to the campground.
On land, hiking options include the Etienne Trail system in Samuel de Champlain and the short Eau Claire Gorge Conservation Area trail nearby. The Mattawa River Visitor Centre at Samuel de Champlain highlights the region's importance during the fur trade and voyageur era.
Fishing, swimming beaches, and wildlife viewing round out the typical trip. Algonquin is known for moose, wolves, and hundreds of bird species, and quieter access points like Kiosk see far less traffic than the Highway 60 corridor.

The camping season runs roughly from late April through late October. Kiosk Campground is operated by Ontario Parks and typically opens in late April, closing in late October. Samuel de Champlain follows a similar operating window, with full services during the warmer months.
July and August are peak season. Bookings for popular provincial sites fill quickly when the reservation window opens, especially for weekends and long weekends. Shoulder months (late May, June, September) are cooler and quieter, and September brings strong fall colour across the mixed hardwood-conifer forest. Blackfly and mosquito activity peaks from late May through early July, so plan for bug protection during that stretch.
Winter closes most facilities. Private parks near Bonfield generally shut down after Thanksgiving weekend, and provincial car campgrounds do not offer serviced winter camping in this area. Snow cover typically holds from December through March, and secondary roads into remote access points may not be maintained.

How to book campsites near Bonfield
Ontario Parks sites, including Samuel de Champlain and Kiosk, are booked through the provincial reservation system at reservations.ontarioparks.ca or by phone. Reservations are accepted up to five months in advance of the arrival date. For example, a January 15 booking date corresponds to a June 15 arrival. The reservation window opens at 7 a.m. ET, five months in advance of the start date.
Summer weekends at Samuel de Champlain, and any waterfront site at Kiosk, tend to move quickly when the window opens. Logging in a few minutes before 7 a.m. ET on the exact date five months out is the standard tactic.
Private campgrounds such as Camp Conewango Campground, Fairview Park Camping & Marina, and Champlain Tent Trailer and RV Park are booked directly with the operator, typically by phone or through their own websites. Confirm hookup type, rig length limits, and check-in times before travelling.
What to expect
Sites vary widely in service level. Samuel de Champlain has two main campgrounds, Jingwakoki and Babawasse, along the northern shore of Moore Lake, with a mix of electrical and non-electrical sites, flush toilets, showers, and laundry at the comfort stations. Private parks in the Bonfield area generally offer full or partial hookups and are better suited to larger rigs.
Kiosk is deliberately basic. It is one of the smallest campgrounds in Algonquin Park with roughly 26 non-electrical sites, no comfort station, no laundry, and no showers. Cell service is limited or absent at Kiosk, and the access road along Highway 630 runs about 30 km into the campground.
Expect black bears in the region: store food and garbage in vehicles or provided lockers. Firewood should be purchased locally to avoid moving invasive pests, and quiet hours are enforced at provincial parks.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Bonfield, ON
How much does an RV rental in Bonfield cost?
RV rental in Bonfield is generally more affordable than big-city pickups. On RVezy, travel trailers in the Bonfield area typically range from about $100 to $175 CAD per night, while Class C motorhomes usually run $200 to $325 CAD per night, with the highest rates in July and August when cottage country fills up. To find a cheap RV rental in Bonfield, target mid-June or early September when Lake Nosbonsing is still warm but weekly rates ease off. Pro tip: filter by Instant Book and weekly stays, since many hosts offer 10 to 20 percent discounts for 7-plus night bookings, making a full week on the Mattawa River cheaper than two back-to-back weekends.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Bonfield%2C%20OntarioWhat licence do I need to rent an RV in Bonfield?
Good news: a standard Class G Ontario driver's licence (or its equivalent from any Canadian province, US state, or country) is all you need to rent an RV in Bonfield. No special motorhome endorsement or commercial licence is required for the RVs listed on RVezy, since they fall under standard non-commercial weight limits. Approved drivers must generally be 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID right inside the platform during booking, so there is no paperwork to drop off at a counter. Visiting from overseas? Bring an International Driving Permit alongside your home licence. Once verified, you are cleared to drive Highway 17 east toward Mattawa or south to Lake Nosbonsing with confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV rental insurance and roadside help included for my Bonfield trip?
Yes. Every RV rental in Bonfield booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can head out on Highway 17 or 531 with confidence. You choose your protection level during checkout (not the host), picking the tier that fits your comfort and budget, and it covers eligible accidental damage to the RV during your trip. If you get a flat on the way to Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park or a battery dies at a trailhead, one phone call gets roadside dispatched, day or night, anywhere in the Nipissing District.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionWhat if I need to cancel my Bonfield RV rental?
Booking your Bonfield RV trip is low-risk thanks to RVezy's built-in cancellation policy, which applies to every reservation on the platform (hosts do not set their own). There is a money-back grace period right after booking, plus structured refund windows tied to how far out your trip start date is, so plans that shift because of a Northern Ontario snowstorm or a family schedule change are easier to manage. Full details are available in the RVezy Help Centre and during checkout. Pro tip: book a few months ahead for the August long weekend, a peak time in Mattawa Voyageur Country, knowing you have a clear cancellation framework if plans change.
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 Bonfield?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rentals in Bonfield are easy to find on RVezy. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter when searching and you'll see motorhomes and travel trailers where dogs (and sometimes cats) are welcome. Bonfield is genuinely great for four-legged campers: dogs are allowed on-leash at Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park trails just 25 minutes east on Highway 17, and the beaches on Lake Nosbonsing have plenty of quiet stretches for a swim. Message the host directly from the listing to confirm any breed or size notes before booking. Pro tip: pack a tick check kit. The boreal forest around Bonfield is beautiful, but blacklegged ticks are active from spring through fall.
ontarioparks.ca/park/samueldechamplainCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Bonfield?
Yes, RV delivery in Bonfield is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-timers who would rather skip towing on Highway 17. Many local hosts will drive the trailer or motorhome straight to your campsite at places like Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park, Marten River Provincial Park, or a private lakeside lot, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. Filter by Delivery on the listing page and enter your destination to see exact fees, which typically scale with distance from Bonfield. Pro tip: delivery turns your rental into a true cottage experience. You arrive, the RV is set up, and you are at the campfire within an hour.
ontarioparks.ca/park/samueldechamplainHow far can I drive on a Bonfield RV rental, and is unlimited mileage available?
You've got plenty of range to explore. Mileage policies are set by each host, but it's common in the Bonfield area to see 100 to 200 included kilometres per night, with extra kilometres priced around $0.30 to $0.45 each. Some hosts even offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is ideal if you're planning a longer Northern Ontario loop. From Bonfield you're 25 minutes to North Bay, 45 minutes to Mattawa, about 1 hour to Algonquin Park's east gate at Achray, 3.5 hours to Ottawa, and roughly 4 hours to Sudbury. Pro tip: when messaging hosts, share your planned route so they can recommend the best mileage package for your specific RV road trip from Bonfield.
ontario.ca/page/driving-and-roadsWhere are the best campgrounds near Bonfield for RV camping?
Bonfield sits in a sweet spot for RV camping, with several standout campgrounds within about 45 minutes. Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park, roughly 25 minutes east on Hwy 17, offers electrical sites along the Mattawa River with excellent canoe heritage trails. Marten River Provincial Park, under an hour north on Hwy 11, has serviced sites in classic old-growth pine country. Champlain Park on Lake Nosbonsing near Bonfield offers seasonal and overnight sites close to the water. North Bay KOA, under an hour west, is a family favourite with a pool and full hookups. Pro tip: book Ontario Parks sites at reservations.ontarioparks.ca up to five months ahead. Summer weekends at Samuel de Champlain often fill quickly after the booking window opens.
ontarioparks.ca/park/samueldechamplainWhen is the best time of year for a Bonfield RV trip?
The sweet spot for RV camping in Bonfield runs from late May through early October, with the warmest weather in July and August (daytime highs around 24 to 26 degrees Celsius, cool nights near 12 to 14 degrees). June brings long daylight and quieter campgrounds, while late September delivers spectacular fall colours along the Mattawa River and Algonquin's east side, with crisp 5 to 15 degree days that are ideal for hiking. Winters are genuinely cold (often dipping below -20 degrees Celsius with heavy snow), so most rentals operate May through October. Pro tip: aim for the second week of September. Leaves are peaking, blackflies are long gone, and campgrounds usually have availability again.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/results_1981_2010_e.html?stnID=4147I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving around Bonfield?
You'll be just fine, and Bonfield is actually a great place for a first time renting an RV. Roads here are quiet two-lane highways (Hwy 17 and Hwy 531) with wide shoulders, gentle curves, and almost no urban traffic, so you can ease into the drive without stress. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering driving, levelling, propane, water systems, and the dump station, plus their phone number for questions mid-trip. If you'd rather not drive at all, choose RV delivery so the host handles setup. Pro tip: take your first 20 minutes on Highway 531 north of Bonfield. It's straight, flat, and the perfect place to get a feel for the rig before tackling Hwy 17.
ontario.ca/page/driving-and-roadsWhat happens if something breaks down during my Bonfield RV trip?
You are 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 533, a dead battery at Lake Nosbonsing, or a tow situation outside Mattawa is one call away from help, day or night. Your host is also a message away through the RVezy app for quick questions like resetting the fridge or relighting the water heater. For anything bigger, RVezy's support team can help coordinate repairs and adjustments if needed. Pro tip: snap photos of all gauges and hookups during the host's walkthrough. Texting a picture to your host is often the fastest way to solve a small hiccup in the bush.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best RV road trip routes from Bonfield?
Bonfield is a launchpad for some of Ontario's best RV road trips. Head east on Highway 17 along the Mattawa River through Voyageur country to Ottawa (about 3.5 hours, 340 km) for a capital-city detour. Drive south on Highway 11 to Algonquin Provincial Park's west gate at Huntsville (2 hours, 170 km) for iconic moose-spotting and canoe lakes. Go west on Hwy 17 to Sudbury and Killarney Provincial Park (3 to 4 hours) for La Cloche quartzite ridges and Georgian Bay sunsets. Or loop north on Hwy 11 to Temagami (1.5 hours) for old-growth pine and crystal-clear lakes. Pro tip: the Mattawa-to-Pembroke stretch of Hwy 17 is gorgeous in late September when the hardwoods light up.
ontario.ca/page/driving-and-roadsCan I take my Bonfield RV rental across the US border?
Cross-border travel may be possible but depends on the individual host and their coverage, so always confirm in writing through RVezy messages before you book. Travel to Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals. For trips into the United States (popular routes from Bonfield include crossings at Sault Ste. Marie or via Ottawa to upstate New York), you will need the host's written approval, your passport, and any documents the host requests. Pro tip: most Bonfield-area renters stay in Ontario and Quebec where Gatineau Park, La Verendrye Wildlife Reserve, and Algonquin are all within easy reach, no border paperwork required.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on a Bonfield RV trip?
Fuel is one of the biggest variables, but it's easy to plan for. Travel trailers towed by a half-ton truck typically get 12 to 16 L/100km, Class C motorhomes around 18 to 22 L/100km, and big Class A units 25 to 30 L/100km. Gas in the Bonfield and North Bay area generally runs slightly below the Ontario average, with stations in North Bay (25 min west) being your cheapest fill-up before heading deeper into Mattawa Voyageur Country. For a typical 5-day, 600 km loop through Algonquin and back, budget roughly $200 to $350 CAD in fuel for a Class C. Pro tip: top up in North Bay before heading east on Hwy 17. Prices climb noticeably between Mattawa and Deep River.
ontario.ca/page/gasoline-pricesHow far ahead should I book a campground near Bonfield?
Ontario Parks opens reservations exactly five months ahead of your arrival date at 7 a.m. through reservations.ontarioparks.ca, and that's your golden window for the Bonfield area. Prime summer weekends at Samuel de Champlain, Mikisew, and nearby Marten River Provincial Park sell out within hours of opening, especially for serviced electrical sites. For private parks like Champlain Park Trailer Resort on Lake Nosbonsing or the North Bay KOA, booking 6 to 10 weeks ahead for July and August is usually safe. Weekdays and shoulder season (June, September) are far more relaxed. Pro tip: set a calendar alert for the five-month opening date at 6:55 a.m. and have your site map and credit card ready. The good waterfront sites go in under two minutes.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/What are driving conditions like around Bonfield?
Driving around Bonfield is genuinely relaxing compared to southern Ontario. Highway 17 (the Trans-Canada) runs east-west through the township with paved shoulders and modest grades, and Highway 531 connecting to the village is a quiet two-lane road. The big things to watch for: moose and deer at dawn and dusk (Northern Ontario has Canada's highest moose-vehicle collision rates, so slow down in marshy stretches), the occasional logging truck, and frost heaves in spring. From late October through April, expect snow, ice, and reduced visibility, which is why most RV rentals operate May through October. Pro tip: keep your eyes scanning the ditches between Mattawa and North Bay at sunset. Wildlife is by far the biggest road hazard, not traffic.
511on.ca/What hookups and amenities will I find at Bonfield-area campgrounds?
Most campgrounds near Bonfield offer a mix that suits any RV. Ontario Parks like Samuel de Champlain and Mikisew provide electrical sites (15/30 amp), potable water taps, comfort stations with hot showers, and a central dump station, though full hookups at the site are rare. Private parks such as Champlain Park Trailer Resort on Lake Nosbonsing typically offer 30-amp power, water, and sewer hookups right at the pad, plus WiFi near the main building. The closest public dump stations and potable water fills are at Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park and the North Bay KOA. Pro tip: top up fresh water in North Bay before you head east. Once you're past Mattawa, fill stations get sparse along Highway 17.
ontarioparks.ca/camping/trailercampingWhat is included inside a typical Bonfield RV rental?
You will be more comfortable than you might expect. A typical motorhome rental in Bonfield comes with a full kitchen (fridge/freezer, propane stove, microwave, sink, cookware), a bathroom with toilet and shower, sleeping for 4 to 8 depending on size, furnace and air conditioning, a dinette, and seatbelts for travel. Most listings include linens, towels, and basic dishes, and many hosts add extras like outdoor chairs, a BBQ, a generator for off-grid stays, and a TV. WiFi is typically BYO via a phone hotspot, and cell signal is solid on Bell and Rogers along Hwy 17 around Bonfield but spotty deep in the bush. Pro tip: a campervan rental in Bonfield is perfect for couples chasing flexibility, while families usually love the space of a Class C motorhome rental in Bonfield.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Bonfield%2C%20OntarioWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about for my Bonfield rental?
Bonfield hosts offer a strong menu of add-ons to customize your trip. Common ones include delivery and setup (priced by distance, sometimes free within a short radius), generator use, propane top-up, bike racks, kayak or SUP carriers, camp chairs and tables, linen packs, and a dump/cleaning service so you can hand back the keys and just leave. Pickup is usually at the host's home in or near Bonfield, with a 30 to 60 minute orientation. Many hosts ask for a return between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. so they can prep for the next guest. Mileage caps and pet fees, if any, are spelled out on each listing. Pro tip: bundling delivery plus the dump-and-clean add-on turns your Lake Nosbonsing trip into a near zero-effort vacation.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Bonfield%2C%20OntarioHow does payment and the security deposit work for an RV rental in Bonfield?
Payment is simple and secure: you pay through RVezy directly with a credit card, never in cash to the host. Your total (nightly rate, fees, taxes, and any add-ons) is charged at booking, and funds are held by RVezy and released to the host after your trip ends, which protects both sides. A refundable security deposit is also pre-authorized on your card before pickup (amount varies by RV) and released after the host confirms the rig is returned clean and undamaged. Pro tip: do a quick photo walkaround with the host at both pickup and drop-off in Bonfield. It takes five minutes and is the single best way to help your full deposit come back without any back-and-forth.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Bonfield during winter or shoulder season?
Yes. Most Bonfield RV rentals run May through mid-October, but some hosts offer four-season units with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, and high-output furnaces for winter and shoulder-season trips. If you are planning a late-October hunting trip, an ice-fishing weekend on Lake Nosbonsing, or a snowshoeing getaway near Samuel de Champlain, message hosts directly and ask about cold-weather readiness, shore power requirements (most need a 30-amp pedestal), and skirting. Daytime temps from November through March often sit well below freezing, with January lows commonly near -20 degrees Celsius. Pro tip: pair a winterized rental with a private seasonal park that keeps water and hydro on year-round so you get all the cozy without the plumbing worry.
