Campgrounds near Clarence-Rockland
Clarence-Rockland sits on the south shore of the Ottawa River in eastern Ontario, roughly 30 kilometres east of downtown Ottawa. The town works well as an RV base: it offers grocery stores, a boat launch, and quick highway access to both the national capital and the Outaouais region across the river in Quebec. Downtown Ottawa is about 20 to 25 minutes away, while Rockland itself has shopping and a boat launch for kayaks and small boats.
Campground options range from full-service RV parks to provincial-park camping. Rolling Hills Campground Ottawa is an adults-only (18+) park nestled in Cumberland, Ontario, just 30 minutes east of downtown Ottawa near the Ottawa River. Hammond Hill, located within the Clarence-Rockland area, offers a mix of tent-style sites, yurts, and cabins on a wooded property. Across the river in Quebec, Plaisance Provincial Park (Parc national de Plaisance) provides serviced and semi-serviced sites managed by Sépaq.
Camping au bord de l'eau and Camping Ange Gardien round out the nearby Quebec options, both within roughly a half-hour drive of Clarence-Rockland.
Things to do near Clarence-Rockland
The Ottawa River dominates the local recreation scene. Boating, kayaking, and shore fishing are accessible from Rockland's public launch, and cycling routes follow the shoreline in both directions. Day trips into Ottawa put Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal, the Canadian War Museum, the National Gallery, and the vibrant ByWard Market within easy reach.
Across the river, Plaisance Provincial Park is a wildlife-viewing destination. The park is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, particularly birdwatchers: over 250 species can be observed all year, with spring waterfowl migration a highlight. Visitors can explore the park by hiking or biking the 40-km trail network, or by canoe or kayak.
Hammond Hill adds a licensed beer garden, beach volleyball, soccer, adult games section, kids playground, and much more on its wooded property.

Peak RV season in the Ottawa Valley runs from late May through mid-October. Most private parks in the area operate on a seasonal calendar; Rolling Hills opens as early as March 1 and stays open as late as December 30, with seasonal sites running May through October. Summer weekends book up well in advance, especially around Canada Day and civic-holiday long weekends.
Plaisance across the river has a shorter operating window, with camping generally from late April to late October. During winter the park remains accessible by foot or snowshoe, but from mid-October to the end of April the registration buildings and washrooms are closed, trails are not groomed, and only the Discovery and Visitors Centre parking lot is open. Spring brings large migratory waterfowl flocks to Plaisance, while summer delivers the warmest weather and the fullest campground services.
Fall offers cooler nights, fewer crowds, and strong hardwood colour through late September and early October. Winter camping is limited: Hammond Hill markets itself as a four-season park, and a few private parks accept snowbird stopovers, but most sites close between November and April.

Michael is a great host, pick up and drop off were super easy and smooth. He gives a great rundown of all the functions of the rv for first timers. The memory wagon is a great RV for your group or family, lots of sleeping space and the truck runs really well, will definitely be booking again in the future!

How to book campgrounds in the area
Reservation systems vary by operator. Ontario private parks such as Rolling Hills and Hammond Hill take direct bookings through their own websites or third-party platforms; Hammond Hill uses Campspot for online reservations. Sites can be reserved as nightly, weekly, or seasonal stays, and Hammond Hill accepts nightly bookings for campsites, cabins, and yurts.
Quebec's provincial parks use the Sépaq reservation system, which handles camping, ready-to-camp accommodations, cabins, and daily activities through a central online platform. Daily park access at Parc national de Plaisance can also be purchased online in advance to guarantee entry.
Book summer weekends and long weekends several weeks ahead. Serviced RV sites at Plaisance and full-hookup sites at Rolling Hills tend to sell out first, especially for the peak July and August window.
What to expect on site
Site standards differ across the local parks. Rolling Hills offers back-in and pull-through sites with 30/50-amp electrical, water, and sewer hookups, a heated outdoor pool, free high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi, and clean washrooms with unisex showers, plus an on-site store stocking firewood, ice, propane, RV supplies, snacks, and beverages. The park is adults-only, with quiet hours enforced, though registered adult guests may bring grandchildren.
Plaisance offers roughly 120 campsites for tents and RVs, including sites with water and electricity, along with ready-to-camp units and yurts. In Papineauville, about a 10-minute drive from the main entrance, visitors will find gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants, and a hardware store, and Thurso offers similar services.
Hammond Hill is a more rustic property with tent-style sites, cabins, and yurts on 62 wooded acres. RV travellers looking for full utilities should target Rolling Hills or Plaisance's serviced loops.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Clarence-Rockland, ON
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Clarence-Rockland, Ontario?
An RV rental in Clarence-Rockland is one of the more affordable ways to explore the Ottawa Valley. On RVezy, towable trailers near Clarence-Rockland typically range from about $100 to $175 CAD per night, while motorhomes generally range from about $200 to $325 CAD per night, with more affordable options often available midweek and in shoulder seasons. To save more, consider booking in May, June, or September when demand is lower but the weather is still pleasant, and look for hosts offering discounts on weekly bookings. Pro tip: filter by Instant Book and message a few hosts to compare delivery fees, mileage allowances, and included extras like camping chairs or BBQs before locking in your dates.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Clarence-Rockland%2C%20OntarioWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Clarence-Rockland?
A standard Ontario Class G driver's license (or equivalent from your home province, state, or country) is all you need to rent an RV in Clarence-Rockland. There's no special RV endorsement or commercial license required for the motorhomes and travel trailers listed on RVezy here. Renters must be 25 years or older, and ID verification happens securely through the RVezy platform when you book. Visiting from outside Canada? Bring your valid home-country license along with an International Driving Permit (IDP), which you can grab from your local auto club for under $25 before your trip. Most first-timers are surprised how simple the licensing piece really is.
ontario.ca/page/driving-and-roadsIs my Clarence-Rockland RV rental protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every RV rental in Clarence-Rockland booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you're covered before you pull out of the driveway. The protection plan helps cover damage to the RV during your trip, giving you peace of mind without having to arrange separate coverage. During checkout, you (not the host) choose the level of protection that fits your trip, from basic to premium tiers with lower out-of-pocket costs. Pro tip: review the protection options carefully at booking so you can relax once you hit Highway 17 toward Ottawa.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Clarence-Rockland plans change?
Plans shift, and RVezy is built to handle that. Every booking is covered by an RVezy-managed cancellation policy (not a host-defined one), which includes a full money-back grace period right after booking so you can lock in your dates with confidence. Beyond the grace period, your refund depends on how far out from your trip start you cancel, and special situations are reviewed by the RVezy support team. Pro tip: book earlier rather than later for the best inventory near Clarence-Rockland. The grace period gives you breathing room to confirm campground reservations at places like Voyageur Provincial Park before fully committing.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Clarence-Rockland RV trip?
Absolutely, and you have plenty of options. Many RVezy hosts offer pet-friendly RV rental Clarence-Rockland listings, and you can filter for Pet-Friendly right on the search page to see them instantly. Once you have found a great rig, message the host to confirm any pet fees or deposit details before you book. Clarence-Rockland is a great base for dog lovers: the Larose Forest just south of town has an extensive network of multi-use trails where leashed dogs are welcome, and Voyageur Provincial Park (about 45 minutes east) allows leashed pets on designated trails and pet-friendly beach areas. Pro tip: pack a tie-out line and collapsible water bowls, since most campgrounds require dogs to stay leashed at the site.
ontarioparks.ca/park/voyageurCan the RV be delivered right to my campsite in Clarence-Rockland?
Yes, RV delivery Clarence-Rockland is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-timers who would rather skip driving a big rig through town. Many local hosts deliver and set up the RV at nearby campgrounds, then walk you through every system from the propane stove to the awning before they leave. Just use the Delivery filter on the search page to see which hosts offer it. Delivery fees usually depend on distance from the host's home base. Pro tip: a delivered, pre-set campervan rental Clarence-Rockland is one of the easiest ways to try RVing for the first time.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Clarence-Rockland%2C%20OntarioHow far can I travel on an RV road trip from Clarence-Rockland?
You have incredible range from Clarence-Rockland, which sits along the Ottawa River between Ottawa and the Quebec border. Popular RV road trip from Clarence-Rockland routes include Algonquin Provincial Park (about 3.5 hours west), Mont-Tremblant (about 2 hours northeast), the Thousand Islands region around Gananoque (about 2 to 2.5 hours southwest), and Montreal (about 1.5 to 2 hours east). Some hosts offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, while others include a daily allowance with a small per-kilometre fee beyond it. Pro tip: check each listing's mileage policy under the pricing section before booking, and ask the host about their favourite scenic stops along your planned route.
ontarioparks.ca/park/algonquinWhat are the best campgrounds near Clarence-Rockland for an RV trip?
You're spoiled for choice. Some of the best campgrounds near Clarence-Rockland include Voyageur Provincial Park (about 45 minutes east on the Ottawa River, with 400+ sites, beaches, and electrical hookups), Hammond Hill Campground (a relaxed family spot just south of town), Sleepy Cedars Family Camping (great for kids, with a pool and playground), and Kittawa RV Resort (full hookups and lakeside sites). For a provincial park experience further afield, Rideau River Provincial Park near Kemptville (about an hour southwest) is a local favourite. Pro tip: book Ontario Parks sites through the official reservation system up to five months in advance, since waterfront sites at Voyageur disappear fast for July and August weekends.
ontarioparks.ca/reservationsWhen is the best time of year for RV camping in Clarence-Rockland?
The sweet spot for RV camping Clarence-Rockland is late May through early October, with July and August typically offering warm days in the mid 20s Celsius and long evenings perfect for campfires. June brings wildflowers and fewer crowds, and September offers cooler nights, fewer bugs, and the start of fall colours along the Ottawa River. Winters in the region are cold with significant snowfall, so most RV rentals operate from May through mid-October. If you prefer quieter trips, look at the shoulder months. Pro tip: late September is a local favourite, with the Larose Forest turning red and gold and campground rates dropping noticeably.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/results_1991_2020_e.html?searchType=stnName&txtStationName=ottawaI've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving one around Clarence-Rockland?
You are going to do great, and you won't be on your own. If it is your first time renting an RV, every RVezy host provides a full walkthrough at pickup, covering driving tips, hookups, slide-outs, and what to do if something acts up. Clarence-Rockland's roads are an ideal place to start: Highway 17 and County Road 174 are wide and well-maintained, and the rural roads around Larose Forest and Bourget have light traffic. Nervous about driving? Choose a smaller Class B campervan or a 21-foot Class C, or book a host who offers delivery so the RV is parked and level when you arrive. Pro tip: practice a few right turns and reverse manoeuvres in a quiet empty lot before heading out on a longer trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if I get a flat tire or break down during my Clarence-Rockland RV trip?
You are covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire, dead battery, or mechanical issue is just a phone call away from help. The service dispatches assistance to wherever you are, whether that is the shoulder of County Road 174 heading into Ottawa or a remote site at Voyageur Provincial Park. Your host is also typically reachable by phone or in-app message for questions about quirky RV systems. Pro tip: save the RVezy support and roadside assistance numbers in your phone before you leave, and snap a photo of your tire pressure and propane levels at pickup for a quick reference if anything feels off mid-trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Clarence-Rockland RV rental across the border into Quebec or the US?
Yes, in most cases. Clarence-Rockland is about 15 minutes from the Quebec border, and many hosts allow trips into Quebec destinations like Mont-Tremblant, Quebec City, or the Gaspe since it is within Canada. Cross-border travel into the US (such as the Adirondacks or Vermont) is often allowed too, but it depends on the individual host's approval and insurance, so message them through the listing before booking. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not extend there. Pro tip: if you are heading to the US, carry your passport, vehicle registration, and a signed letter from the host confirming permission to cross. The Prescott and Cornwall crossings are among the closest options.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on a Clarence-Rockland RV trip?
Fuel is usually the biggest variable cost, but it is easy to plan for. Most Class C motorhomes near Clarence-Rockland average about 18 to 25 litres per 100 km, while smaller campervans and tow vehicles pulling lighter travel trailers can run closer to 12 to 16 litres per 100 km. Gas prices in Eastern Ontario typically sit a few cents below downtown Ottawa pumps, so filling up in Rockland before you leave town is a smart move. For a 4-day trip covering 600 km, budget roughly $160 to $240 CAD in fuel depending on the rig and current prices. Pro tip: use the GasBuddy app to spot the cheapest stations along Highway 17 and avoid pricier highway-only stops.
www2.nrcan.gc.ca/eneene/sources/pripri/prices_bycity_e.cfmHow far ahead should I book a campground near Clarence-Rockland?
For the best sites, book early. Ontario Parks opens reservations exactly 5 months in advance through their official online system, and prime waterfront sites at Voyageur Provincial Park or Rideau River Provincial Park for July and August long weekends often sell out within minutes of opening. Private campgrounds like Sleepy Cedars or Kittawa RV Resort are a bit more flexible but still fill up fast for Canada Day, Civic Holiday (first Monday of August), and Labour Day weekends. Pro tip: if you're flexible, target a Sunday-to-Thursday stretch in late June or early September, when sites are wide open, rates drop, and the Ottawa River is still warm enough for swimming. Set a calendar reminder for the 5-month booking window.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/What are the local driving conditions like around Clarence-Rockland?
Driving in and around Clarence-Rockland is refreshingly straightforward. Highway 17 and County Road 174 are the main routes, both wide, paved, and easy to navigate in any size RV. The town itself is small and traffic is light outside of Ottawa rush hour (roughly 7 to 9 AM and 4 to 6 PM on the 174 corridor toward downtown). Watch for the occasional deer on rural stretches near Larose Forest, especially at dawn and dusk. In winter, roads can be icy and snow-covered, which is why most RV rentals are seasonal here. Pro tip: if you are driving into Ottawa, consider timing trips outside rush hour or detour via Highway 417, where lanes are wider and shoulders are more RV-friendly.
511on.ca/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Clarence-Rockland?
Most campgrounds near Clarence-Rockland are well-equipped for a comfortable trip. Ontario Parks sites like Voyageur and Rideau River offer electrical hookups (typically 15 or 30 amp), potable water taps, dump stations, flush toilets, showers, and laundry. Private parks in the region typically add full hookups (water, sewer, electric), Wi-Fi at some sites, pools, and playgrounds. Need to dump or fill water mid-trip? The Voyageur Provincial Park dump station is available on site, and several gas stations in the region sell potable water. Pro tip: arrive with full fresh water and empty grey and black tanks so you have maximum flexibility on day one of your Clarence-Rockland trip.
ontarioparks.ca/campingWhat features and amenities come with a typical Clarence-Rockland RV rental?
You will be impressed by how well-equipped these rigs are. A typical motorhome rental Clarence-Rockland comes with a full kitchen (fridge, freezer, stove, microwave, sink), a bathroom with toilet and shower, a queen or king bed, convertible dinette beds, heating, air conditioning, and seatbelts for everyone riding. Most have a TV, Bluetooth stereo, and outdoor awning, and many include a generator for off-grid power. Wi-Fi is not standard, but some hosts add mobile hotspots. Listings clearly show sleep count, bed configurations, and features, so a family RV trip Clarence-Rockland is easy to plan. Pro tip: filter by sleeps 4, 6, or 8 to match your group, and check the photos for bunk beds if you are travelling with kids.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Clarence-Rockland%2C%20OntarioWhat add-ons and pickup options should I look for when I rent an RV in Clarence-Rockland?
Hosts in Clarence-Rockland offer a range of add-ons that can transform your trip. Common extras include camping chairs and tables, BBQ rentals, bedding and linen packages, generator use, bike racks, and kayaks or paddleboards, with pricing varying by host. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Rockland or nearby Bourget, Hammond, or Cumberland, with delivery available to local campgrounds for a fee. Mileage policies vary: some listings include unlimited kilometres, while others offer a daily allowance with a per-kilometre fee beyond. Pro tip: bundle delivery, setup, and a linen package on your first booking so you can show up at camp with everything ready and just press play on your vacation.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Clarence-Rockland%2C%20OntarioHow does payment and the security deposit work when I rent an RV in Clarence-Rockland?
Payment is simple and secure: you pay through the RVezy platform with a credit card at the time of booking, never directly to the host in cash. A refundable security deposit is held on your card before pickup and released after the trip, once the RV is returned in good condition with no damage or extra cleaning needed. Deposit amounts vary by listing and are shown on each Clarence-Rockland listing before you book. Pro tip: do a thorough walkaround video with the host at pickup and drop-off, noting any pre-existing scratches or interior wear. This protects both of you and is one of the best ways to ensure your full deposit comes back quickly.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksAre RV rentals in Clarence-Rockland available in winter, and what should I know about cold-weather camping?
Yes, a small number of four-season RV rental Ontario hosts in the Clarence-Rockland area keep their rigs available through winter, ideal for snowy adventures like ice fishing on the Ottawa River or a fall colour weekend in the Gatineau Hills. Cold-weather-ready units usually feature heated holding tanks, an enclosed underbelly, a strong furnace, and shore-power compatibility for plug-in heat. Most winter-friendly campgrounds operate on shore power only (no water hookups, since lines freeze), so you will fill the fresh tank before arrival. Pro tip: book a host who provides skirting and includes propane refills, dress in layers, and check road conditions on 511 Ontario before you head out.
