Campgrounds near Christian Island 30
Christian Island 30 is a reserve of Beausoleil First Nation in southern Georgian Bay, reached by ferry from Cedar Point in Tiny Township. Because the island itself is accessed only by boat, most RV travellers base themselves on the nearby mainland around Penetanguishene, Midland, and Tiny Township, then day-trip to the island or paddle to the surrounding waters.
The area sits on a peninsula jutting into Georgian Bay, with sand and cobble beaches, hardwood forest, and easy access from Highway 400 to the south. Options range from full-service private RV resorts with pools and planned activities to shaded provincial-park sites with electrical hook-ups and comfort stations.
Close-in choices include Sun Retreats Penetanguishene, set among hardwood forest and offering seasonal, short-term, and overnight sites, along with Lafontaine RV Resort in Tiny Township and Georgian Bay RV Park. Awenda Provincial Park sits on a peninsula jutting into Georgian Bay north of Penetanguishene and is open year-round. Craigleith Provincial Park lies farther west along the Georgian Bay shore near Collingwood.
Things to do near Christian Island 30
Georgian Bay is the main draw. Swimming, paddling, and boating fill most summer days, and the sheltered waters between the mainland and Christian, Hope, and Beckwith Islands suit kayaks and canoes launched from Awenda Provincial Park or Tiny Township beaches. Summer activities at Awenda include canoeing on Georgian Bay and a small interior lake, boating, hiking, swimming, and birding.
On shore, hikers can explore Awenda's trail network to Kettle's Lake and the Nipissing Bluff, cyclists can ride the Tiny Trail, and history-minded visitors can tour Sainte-Marie among the Hurons and the Martyrs' Shrine in Midland. Farther west near Craigleith Provincial Park, the Blue Mountains area offers golf, a high ropes course, a full-service spa, zip lining, scenic caves, and a mountain coaster.
Anglers target lake trout, salmon, and bass along the Georgian Bay shoreline with a valid Ontario licence.

10° / 0°C 70 mmParks reopen; black flies emerge in May, bay water still cold.

12° / 4°C 85 mmCool with fall colour; Craigleith closes by late October.
- winter
December - February
-2° / -10°C 75 mmSnow-belt cold; most campgrounds closed, ferry service limited.
The prime RV window runs from Victoria Day weekend in May through Canadian Thanksgiving in October. July and August bring the warmest water and busiest campgrounds. Hikers should wait until June to avoid black flies, and swimmers should aim for July to early September when Georgian Bay is at its warmest.
Provincial park seasons vary. Craigleith typically operates from May through October, while Awenda is open year-round, with reduced services outside the main season. Because of its proximity to Toronto, Awenda is very busy during the summer months, so campers who want more than a couple of nights at the same site should book well ahead in early spring.
Spring and fall are quieter. Shoulder-season nights are cool and bugs taper off, but Georgian Bay water stays cold until mid-summer. In winter, some hiking trails at Awenda are open for snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, and the park sits in a snow belt, so conditions for winter activities are generally good.

How to book campgrounds near Christian Island 30
Ontario Parks sites at Awenda and Craigleith are booked through the Ontario Parks reservation system. Campsites can be booked up to five months in advance of the arrival date, and an Ontario Parks account is required to reserve online. Registrations begin at 7 am Eastern.
At Awenda, reservations are available for 7 nights only, Saturday to Saturday, from the third Friday in June to Labour Day. Outside that window there is a 2-night minimum stay and a 3-night minimum stay on long weekends.
Private parks such as Sun Retreats Penetanguishene, Lafontaine RV Resort, and Georgian Bay RV Park take reservations directly through their own websites, with seasonal, monthly, and nightly stays available. Camping on Christian Island itself is arranged through Beausoleil First Nation.
What to expect
Provincial park sites in this area are wooded and generally private. Awenda's sites are shaded beneath sugar maples and red oaks and are spaced farther apart than many other provincial parks, with all sites in Wolf and some sites in Hawk Campground offering electrical hook-ups. All six campgrounds at Awenda are serviced by drinking water taps, vault toilets, and a central comfort station with flush toilets and showers.
Craigleith is smaller and closer to the highway. Amenities include flush toilets, vault toilets, hot showers, potable drinking water, an RV dump station, and firewood and ice for purchase at the gatehouse. There is no sandy beach; swimming and wading are permitted along the shale shoreline, and water shoes are strongly recommended.
Private resorts in the Penetanguishene area lean family-oriented, with pools, playgrounds, and planned activities.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Christian Island 30, ON
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Christian Island, Ontario?
An RV rental in Christian Island fits a range of budgets. Travel trailers typically start around $90 to $175 CAD per night, Class C motorhomes run about $200 to $325 CAD per night, and larger Class A rigs sit at the higher end. Because Christian Island (Beausoleil First Nation) is reached by passenger ferry from Cedar Point, most RVezy rentals are based on the mainland near Penetanguishene, Midland, or Tiny Township. For a cheap RV rental Christian Island travellers love, book midweek in June or September, consider an older travel trailer, and filter for hosts offering unlimited mileage. Pro tip: bundle the host's linen or kitchen kit at checkout instead of buying supplies twice.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Christian%20Island%2C%20OntarioWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Christian Island, Ontario?
Good news for first-timers: a standard Ontario Class G driver's licence (or your home province/state equivalent) is all you need to rent an RV in Christian Island for nearly every motorhome and trailer on RVezy. No commercial licence or special endorsement is required. Approved drivers must generally be 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID securely through the platform when you book. Visiting from outside Canada? Bring your valid home licence, and an International Driving Permit is recommended if your licence is not in English or French. Pro tip: if you've never towed before, filter for drivable Class B or Class C motorhomes; they handle more like a large van than a trailer.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs protection included with my Christian Island RV rental?
Yes. Every RVezy booking in Canada includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can focus on enjoying Georgian Bay instead of worrying about the what-ifs. You choose your coverage level at checkout (Standard, Plus, or Premium) based on how much peace of mind you want, and the plan helps cover most accidental damage to the RV during your trip. While it isn't traditional auto insurance, it's designed specifically for peer-to-peer RV rentals and provides significant financial protection. Pro tip: if you're driving the winding back roads around Tiny Township and Awenda Provincial Park for the first time, a higher-tier plan is a small price for a worry-free Christian Island RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Christian Island RV trip?
Booking is low-risk. RVezy (not individual hosts) sets the cancellation policy, and every reservation includes a short grace period after booking so you can lock in your dates with confidence. After that window, your refund depends on how far out from your trip you cancel, and the full policy is shown during checkout and in your booking confirmation. If a host cancels on you, RVezy helps you rebook or issues a refund or travel credit. Pro tip: weather along the Tiny Township shoreline can shift quickly in spring and fall, so book early to lock in the rig you want, knowing the platform's cancellation policy gives you flexibility if plans change.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Christian Island RV rental?
Absolutely. Pets are welcome on many listings, and finding a pet-friendly RV rental Christian Island travellers love is as easy as ticking the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy. Many hosts around Midland and Penetanguishene specifically welcome dogs, sometimes for a small added cleaning fee. Once you arrive, your pup will love the sandy beaches along Tiny Township's shoreline and the leashed trails at Awenda Provincial Park, a short drive from the Cedar Point ferry dock. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet details, and pack a tie-out, a towel for sandy paws, and a collapsible water bowl for the ferry ride.
ontarioparks.ca/park/awendaCan the RV be delivered to me near Christian Island?
Yes. RV delivery is one of the easiest ways to start your Christian Island trip, especially because the island itself is reached by passenger ferry from Cedar Point and most RVs stay on the mainland. Many RVezy hosts will deliver and set up your motorhome or trailer at a campground in Tiny Township, at Awenda Provincial Park, or on a private property near Penetanguishene. Delivery fees are set by the host and usually scale with distance, and setup (levelling, hookups, and a full walkthrough) is often included. Pro tip: choose delivery if it's your first time renting an RV, you'll skip the learning curve of driving a big rig and step straight into vacation mode by the shores of Georgian Bay.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Christian%20Island%2C%20OntarioHow far can I drive on a Christian Island RV trip?
You've got plenty of range. Most hosts include 100 to 200 kilometres per night, and many offer RV rental with unlimited mileage for road-trippers who want to wander. From the Cedar Point ferry area near Christian Island, you can reach Wasaga Beach in about 45 minutes, Tobermory and the Bruce Peninsula in roughly 3 hours, Toronto in about 2 hours, Algonquin Park's west gate in about 3 hours, and Killarney Provincial Park in around 4 hours. Extra kilometres are typically billed at a per-km rate set by the host. Pro tip: if you're planning a longer loop like Georgian Bay to Manitoulin Island, filter specifically for unlimited mileage listings, the savings add up fast.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Christian%20Island%2C%20OntarioWhere should I camp near Christian Island?
You're in one of Ontario's richest camping regions. Favourites near Christian Island include Awenda Provincial Park in Tiny Township (over 300 sites, beaches on Georgian Bay, electric and non-electric loops), Wasaga Beach Provincial Park (huge sandy frontage, about 45 minutes south), and a number of private parks in Tiny Township and around Penetanguishene that offer full hookups, pools, and family amenities. For staying on Christian Island itself, the community is part of Beausoleil First Nation, so contact the Band Office directly for permission and ferry logistics. Pro tip: Awenda reservations open 5 months ahead and prime July weekends often fill within minutes, so set a calendar reminder.
ontarioparks.ca/park/awendaWhen is the best time to visit Christian Island in an RV?
Late June through early September is the sweet spot for RV camping around Christian Island and the Georgian Bay shoreline, with daytime highs typically in the low to mid 20s C and warm enough water for swimming. July and August are peak with the warmest lake temperatures, while June offers fewer bugs after the first couple of weeks and quieter campgrounds. September brings cooler nights, spectacular sunsets, and lower rates. Winters here are cold, often dipping below -10 C with heavy lake-effect snow, and ferry service to Christian Island shifts to limited or ice-based operation. Pro tip: target the last two weeks of August for a great mix of warm water, ripe local produce at Midland farm stands, and the quiet that returns once Ontario schools restart.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/index_e.htmlI've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving around Christian Island?
You'll be in great shape: first time renting an RV is exactly who RVezy is built for. Every host does a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering driving, levelling, water, propane, the toilet, and the awning, and you can message them throughout your trip with questions. Around the Cedar Point ferry area, Tiny Township roads are mostly flat, well-signed, and quiet outside Highway 400 weekends. If you'd rather skip driving a big rig altogether, choose a host who offers delivery to your campground. Pro tip: do a short practice drive in the host's neighbourhood before heading north on Highway 93, and ask them to demonstrate backing up, that's the only skill that surprises most new renters.
ontario.ca/document/official-mto-drivers-handbookWhat happens if something breaks down on my Christian Island RV trip?
You're never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance through the included protection plan, so whether you have a flat on Highway 400, a dead battery at Awenda Provincial Park, or you need a tow back toward Midland, one phone call gets help dispatched. Your host is also a direct lifeline by message for the small stuff, like resetting the fridge, restarting the furnace, or finding the propane shutoff. For anything mechanical, RVezy's support team helps coordinate the fix. Pro tip: at pickup, snap a photo of the roadside assistance number and the host's number and save them as favourites, cell coverage can dip on Tiny Township back roads.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Christian Island RV rental across the border into the US?
Cross-border trips into the US are possible on many listings, but they require host approval because the host's coverage has to allow it, so message the owner before booking to confirm. From the Christian Island area, the closest US crossings are the Blue Water Bridge at Sarnia (about 3.5 hours) and the Peace Bridge at Fort Erie (about 3 hours), opening routes into Michigan, Ohio, and New York. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals. Pro tip: if you're planning a cross-border RV road trip from Christian Island, bring passports for everyone, keep propane tanks below 80%, and ask your host for the vehicle ownership and an authorization letter, US border officers appreciate seeing the paperwork in order.
cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/menu-eng.htmlWhat should I budget for fuel on a Christian Island RV trip?
Fuel is usually the second-biggest line item after the rental itself, but it's easy to plan. Expect Class C motorhomes to use about 18 to 22 L/100km, Class A motorhomes around 25 to 30 L/100km, and a truck towing a travel trailer around 16 to 20 L/100km. Gas prices in the Midland and Penetanguishene area typically run a few cents above the GTA, so top up along the Highway 400 corridor where stations are competitive. A typical 5-day Georgian Bay loop covering around 600 km might run $180 to $280 CAD in fuel for a mid-size motorhome. Pro tip: warehouse-club stations in Barrie often have some of the lowest pump prices within an hour of Christian Island, fill up on your way north.
ontario.ca/page/gasoline-pricesHow far in advance should I book a campground near Christian Island?
Plan ahead and you'll have your pick. Ontario Parks (including Awenda and Wasaga Beach) opens reservations exactly 5 months ahead of arrival day on the Ontario Parks reservation site, and prime July and August Friday and Saturday nights at Awenda are often gone within minutes. Private parks in Tiny Township and around Penetanguishene typically open new-season bookings in winter. For a long-weekend Christian Island RV trip, aim to lock in campgrounds well before spring. Pro tip: create your Ontario Parks account and save your vehicle and payment info before the 5-month window opens, those extra 30 seconds at checkout are the difference between a beachfront site and a back loop.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/What are the roads like around Christian Island?
Driving is refreshingly easy. The roads around Cedar Point and Tiny Township are mostly flat, two-lane country highways with light traffic and clear signage. Highway 400 brings you north from Toronto, then you'll exit onto Highway 93 toward Penetanguishene and follow Tiny Beaches Road or the concession roads to the Cedar Point ferry dock. Watch for soft shoulders and deer at dawn and dusk. In winter, lake-effect snow squalls off Georgian Bay can drop visibility quickly, so check Ontario 511 before heading out. Pro tip: avoid Highway 400 southbound on Sunday afternoons in summer, leave Friday morning or Saturday early, and your motorhome rental Christian Island drive will feel like a breeze.
511on.ca/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Christian Island?
You'll find a great mix. Ontario Parks like Awenda offer electric (15/30 amp) and non-electric sites, flush toilets, hot showers, potable water taps, and a sani-dump station, but no individual water or sewer hookups at the site. Private parks around Tiny Township and Penetanguishene typically offer full hookups (water, sewer, 30/50 amp), Wi-Fi, laundry, and pools. For dumping and water fills on travel days, most private campgrounds offer day-use dump stations for a small fee. Pro tip: top up fresh water before you head toward the Cedar Point ferry area, services thin out the closer you get to the dock, and you'll thank yourself when you're parked beachside at sunset.
ontarioparks.ca/campingWhat's inside a typical RV rental near Christian Island?
More than you'd think. Most motorhome and travel trailer rentals near Christian Island sleep 4 to 8 and include a queen bed, a dinette and/or sofa that converts to a bed, a full kitchen (fridge/freezer, propane stove, microwave, sink), a bathroom with toilet and shower, air conditioning, a propane furnace, and a roof or window awning. Many include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, and an onboard or portable generator; some hosts offer Wi-Fi hotspots as an add-on. Every drivable RV has seatbelts for travel, just confirm the count matches your group. Pro tip: ask the host whether linens, a kitchen kit, camp chairs, and a propane firepit are included, those four add-ons turn a basic campervan rental Christian Island booking into a fully loaded vacation.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Christian%20Island%2C%20OntarioWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Hosts offer a great menu of extras to customize your trip. Common add-ons near Christian Island include linen and towel packages, kitchen kits, portable BBQs, bike racks, kayak or paddleboard rentals, generators, and sometimes Starlink. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Midland, Penetanguishene, Barrie, or Tiny Township, and delivery to your campground is widely available. Mileage policies range from around 100 km per night to unlimited, and you'll see the details clearly on each listing. Pro tip: if you're staying put at Awenda Provincial Park the whole week, choose a lower mileage cap and pocket the savings, then add delivery so the host handles the drive and setup for your RV rental Ontario adventure.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Christian%20Island%2C%20OntarioHow do payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and secure. You pay through RVezy at booking with a credit card, never directly to the host, which means you're protected end-to-end. A refundable security deposit (the amount is set per listing) is pre-authorized on your card before pickup and is not actually charged unless there's damage, excess mileage, or a cleaning issue at return. As long as you return the RV in the condition you received it (clean, tanks emptied if required, fuel topped up), the hold is released after your trip. Pro tip: do a video walkaround with your host at both pickup and drop-off near Christian Island, it takes 5 minutes and is the single best way to keep your deposit smooth and stress-free.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV near Christian Island in winter?
Yes, winter rentals are available and can be genuinely magical around Georgian Bay. A handful of RVezy hosts near Midland and Penetanguishene list four-season RVs with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, propane furnaces, and shore-power compatibility for cold-weather stays. Daytime highs from December through February typically range from about -3 C to -10 C, with overnight lows often colder during lake-effect events. Most public campgrounds close in winter, so seasonal sites with electric hookups at private parks and stationary trailer setups on private land are the most popular options. Pro tip: filter for RVs that mention heated tanks and 30-amp shore power, plan to use the rig as a winterized basecamp rather than a road-trip vehicle, and you'll have the snowshoe trails at Awenda almost entirely to yourself.
