Campgrounds near Ear Falls
Ear Falls sits on the English River in northwestern Ontario, on Highway 105 between Vermilion Bay and Red Lake. The town is a service stop for a remote lake district, and most RV camping in the area is spread along the highway or on the shores of nearby lakes and the Chukuni River system.
The closest provincial campground is Pakwash Provincial Park, on the eastern shore of Pakwash Lake about 20 kilometres northwest of Ear Falls. It is reached via Highway 105 and offers electric sites on roughly half of its campsites, water taps, comfort stations with flush toilets and showers, laundry, and a trailer sanitation station. Private options in the area include Gawleys Parkview Camp Ltd, Golden Hook Camp, and Gull Rock Lake Lodge, which cater to anglers with cabins and serviced RV sites.
For a larger operation with full booking infrastructure, Blue Lake Provincial Park lies farther south near Vermilion Bay and functions as the main Ontario Parks destination within reasonable towing distance of Ear Falls.
Things to do near Ear Falls
Fishing is the primary draw. Pakwash Lake produces walleye, northern pike, and smallmouth bass, and together with its neighbouring lakes offers over 30,000 acres of water to explore by boat. A valid Ontario fishing licence is required.
Paddlers use Pakwash Provincial Park as a launch point for northern canoe routes, and the park office rents canoes on site. Swimming beaches are available at Pakwash and at Blue Lake, where a long sandy beach fronts clear water. Hikers can take on the full-day Goblin Lake Trail at Blue Lake, and rock climbers can access Blue Lake Crag, a 25-metre rock face, by trail or boat. Wildlife viewing, birding in the boreal forest, and fall colour photography round out the shoulder-season options.

The camping season in this part of Ontario is short. Pakwash Provincial Park is open for camping and day use from mid-May to mid-September, and Blue Lake Provincial Park operates on a similar mid-May to mid- or late-September window. Private lodges around Ear Falls generally follow the same open-water window, roughly ice-out in May through freeze-up in October.
July and August are the peak months for warm weather and swimming, but they are also the buggiest. Black flies are worst in late May and June, and mosquitoes stay active through July. Walleye and pike fishing tend to be strongest right after the season opens in mid-May and again in September, when nights cool and water temperatures drop.
Late September brings turning aspen and birch and the first frosts. From October through April, the highway remains open but the provincial parks are closed and most services in Ear Falls scale back.
How to book a campsite
Ontario provincial parks use a single reservation platform. Reservations for Pakwash Provincial Park and Blue Lake Provincial Park can be made online at reservations.ontarioparks.ca or through the call centre by phoning 1-888-ONT-PARK. Campsites can be reserved up to five months in advance, and booking early is recommended for summer weekends and holidays.
Private camps in the Ear Falls area, including Gawleys Parkview Camp Ltd, Golden Hook Camp, and Gull Rock Lake Lodge, are booked directly with the operator by phone or email. Fishing lodges often require a minimum stay of several nights in peak season and may bundle a boat with the site.
What to expect on arrival
Ear Falls is remote. The town provides food and camping supply stores, restaurants, a gas station, and ATMs, but this part of Ontario has no large towns, so expect to drive a few hours to reach bigger city facilities. Stock up on groceries, propane, and prescriptions before leaving Dryden or Vermilion Bay on the Trans-Canada.
Highway 105 is paved, well maintained, and has no hairpin turns or steep climbs, so it is an easy drive even for large trailers and RVs. Cell coverage is spotty north of Vermilion Bay and drops off entirely on side roads to smaller lakes.
Expect basic amenities at provincial sites: large, quiet sites kept clean, with limited staffing. Bring bug spray, a fishing licence, cash for firewood, and a plan for bear-safe food storage.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Ear Falls, ON
Do I need a special license to rent an RV in Ear Falls?
For most RV rentals in Ear Falls, your standard Class G driver's license (or its equivalent from another province, state, or country) is all you need. Ontario allows motorhomes up to 11,000 kg with a regular Class G license, which covers nearly every Class B campervan, Class C motorhome, travel trailer, and fifth wheel listed on RVezy. To book through RVezy, you must be at least 25 years old, and ID verification is completed directly in the platform. International visitors should bring their home license plus an International Driving Permit if it is not in English or French. Pro tip: confirm the rig's weight class with your host before booking so you know exactly what license tier applies for your Ear Falls RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsHow much does an RV rental in Ear Falls, Ontario typically cost?
RV rental in Ear Falls is one of the best-value ways to experience Lac Seul country. On RVezy, travel trailers typically run about CA$125 to CA$200 per night, Class C motorhomes range from CA$200 to CA$325 per night, and larger Class A rigs sit around CA$275 to CA$425 per night. Hosts set their own pricing, and many offer weekly discounts for longer fishing trips. To find a cheap RV rental in Ear Falls, book mid-week in late August or early September, when nightly rates often drop and the walleye bite is still strong. Pro tip: bundle pickup and drop-off on weekdays to avoid weekend premiums and save your budget for boat rentals on Lac Seul.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Ear%20Falls%2C%20OntarioWhat kind of driver's license do I need to rent an RV in Ear Falls?
Good news: for nearly every RV rental in Ear Falls, your regular full Class G driver's license (or its equivalent from another province, state, or country) is all you need. As of July 1, 2025, Ontario allows motorhomes up to 14,000 kilograms with a Class G license plus an RV endorsement, and up to 11,000 kilograms with no endorsement at all, which covers the vast majority of Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, travel trailers, and fifth wheels on RVezy.

Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit if it's not in English or French, and you're set to rent an RV in Ear Falls.
ontario.ca/page/driving-recreational-vehicle-rvIs my RV rental in Ear Falls protected if something happens during my trip?
Yes, every booking on RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so your Ear Falls RV trip starts with real peace of mind. The protection plan helps cover damage to the vehicle during your rental, which is reassuring when you are towing a fifth wheel down Highway 105 or backing into a forested site at Pakwash Provincial Park. RVezy offers multiple protection tiers, and you (not the host) choose the coverage level that fits your trip during checkout. Pro tip: pick a higher tier if you are heading to remote landings or gravel forestry roads around Wenesaga Lake, where the risk of stone chips and minor scrapes is higher.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if my plans change? Can I cancel my Ear Falls RV booking?
Yes, and booking is low-risk. RVezy sets the cancellation policy for every rental (not the host), and it includes a money-back grace period after booking so you can lock in your dates with confidence. The exact refund amount depends on how far out from your trip you cancel. If a host cancels on you, RVezy refunds your booking or provides travel credit so you are never left scrambling. Full policy details are on the RVezy Help Center, and support is reachable before, during, and after your trip. Pro tip: book your motorhome rental in Ear Falls early to lock in the best rigs for walleye opener week, knowing you still have flexibility if plans shift.
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 Ear Falls?
Yes, plenty of dogs come along for the ride. Filter for pet-friendly RV rental listings in Ear Falls on RVezy and you will find hosts who welcome dogs, sometimes for a small cleaning fee. Pakwash Provincial Park, just north of town on Highway 105, allows leashed pets on most campsites and has a designated pet area along its sandy shoreline. Many private lodge campgrounds around Lac Seul also welcome four-legged guests. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet size and number, and pack a long tie-out leash so your pup can lounge by the fire while you watch the bald eagles overhead.
ontarioparks.ca/park/pakwashCan the RV be delivered to my campground or fishing lodge near Ear Falls?
Yes, RV delivery in Ear Falls is one of the smartest moves for first-timers and fly-in anglers. Many RVezy hosts deliver to Pakwash Provincial Park and lodges along Highway 105, then set up the RV, level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. This is gold if you are flying into Red Lake Airport (about 95 km north) and do not want to drive a big rig on unfamiliar northern roads. Delivery fees vary by distance and rig size. Pro tip: ask about delivery when you message a host, and request a propane top-off and full freshwater tank so your Ear Falls RV trip starts ready to fish.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Ear%20Falls%2C%20OntarioHow far can I realistically drive from Ear Falls on an RV trip?
Plenty far, even on a long weekend. From Ear Falls, you can comfortably reach Red Lake in about 95 km (just over an hour), Vermilion Bay in roughly 145 km (about 1 hour 45 minutes), Dryden in 195 km (about 2 hours 20 minutes), Kenora in around 340 km (4 hours), and Thunder Bay in roughly 530 km (6 hours). Most RVezy hosts include 100 to 200 km per day, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is the sweet spot for a true RV road trip from Ear Falls into Sunset Country. Pro tip: if you are planning to push to Winnipeg or loop through northwestern Ontario, filter for unlimited mileage listings to keep the budget predictable.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Ear%20Falls%2C%20OntarioWhere are the best campgrounds near Ear Falls for an RV trip?
You have great choices for RV camping near Ear Falls, all within easy reach of town. Pakwash Provincial Park on Highway 105 is the headliner, with electric campsites, a sandy beach, dump station, and Anishinabek pictographs nearby. Private resorts around Lac Seul offer full-service RV and tent sites with lakefront access, fish-cleaning houses, and boat launches. Goose Bay Camp is another favorite for anglers chasing walleye and pike. Pro tip: book Pakwash Provincial Park through the Ontario Parks reservation system up to five months in advance for July and August weekends, when sites fill fast.
ontarioparks.ca/park/pakwashWhen is the best time to visit Ear Falls in an RV?
The sweet spot for RV camping in Ear Falls is mid-May through late September. June through August brings comfortable daytime highs around 22 to 25 C (72 to 77 F), the longest daylight hours, and prime walleye, pike, and muskie action. May is excellent for the walleye opener and bald eagle watching, with cooler nights near 4 C (39 F), so look for an RV with a good furnace. September delivers crisp air, fewer bugs, and stunning fall colour along the English River. Winters are genuinely frigid, with January lows below -20 C, so most RV rentals operate May to October. Pro tip: aim for late summer for warm lake water and the most reliable weather window.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/index_e.htmlI am a first-time renter. Will I actually know how to use the RV?
Yes, and that is the beauty of RVezy. First time renting an RV in Ear Falls means you will get a hands-on orientation from your host at pickup, covering the propane system, water pump, generator, slide-outs, awning, and dump procedures. You are never left guessing. You can message hosts directly from the listing before booking to ask anything: how the furnace handles a chilly Lac Seul morning, whether the rig fits Pakwash sites, or how to back into a forested site. RVezy's 24/7 support is also a tap away during your trip. Pro tip: ask your host to record a short video walkthrough on your phone so you can replay it once you are parked along the English River.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/categories/360002007014-RentersWhat happens if the RV breaks down on a remote road near Ear Falls?
You are not alone out there. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so a flat tire on Highway 105, a dead battery at Gold Pines Landing, or an issue at Pakwash Provincial Park is one phone call away from help. The dispatcher coordinates a service provider to come to you, even on the remote stretches between Ear Falls and Red Lake. Your host is also reachable through the RVezy app for quick questions about RV-specific quirks. Pro tip: download offline maps before leaving Ear Falls, since cell coverage thins out around Lac Seul's western bays, and keep the RVezy support number saved in your phone.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Ear Falls RV rental across the border into the United States?
In many cases, yes. Hosts can approve cross-border travel into the United States, such as a road trip down through Minnesota's Boundary Waters or Voyageurs National Park, as long as insurance allows it for that specific rig. Just message the host before booking to confirm, and bring your passport. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because insurance coverage does not extend that far south. Popular RV road trip routes from Ear Falls include north to Red Lake, west through Kenora to Lake of the Woods, and the loop through Dryden and Sioux Lookout. Pro tip: ask your host for a written approval in the RVezy message thread before crossing the border.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on an Ear Falls RV trip?
Fuel is the biggest variable, but it is manageable with a little planning. Class B campervans get roughly 17 to 22 miles per gallon (10 to 14 L/100km), Class C motorhomes around 10 to 14 MPG (17 to 24 L/100km), and big Class A rigs about 7 to 10 MPG (24 to 34 L/100km). Gas in Ear Falls and Red Lake typically runs higher than southern Ontario because of the remote location. Fill up in Vermilion Bay or Dryden on the way in for the best prices. Pro tip: a campervan rental in Ear Falls that anglers love often returns the lowest fuel costs of the trip, leaving more cash for boat gas and fishing tackle.
ontario.ca/page/gasoline-reportsHow far ahead should I reserve a campground near Ear Falls?
For Pakwash Provincial Park, book through the Ontario Parks reservation system at reservations.ontarioparks.ca up to five months in advance, which is the maximum window. Summer weekends in July and August, plus the Civic Holiday long weekend, sell out fast. Private resort campgrounds around Lac Seul take direct reservations by phone or email and often have more flexibility, but the prime lakefront sites also go quickly for fishing season. Pro tip: if you are flying into Red Lake and using RV delivery, ask your host to coordinate the campground arrival window so the rig is set up and ready when you pull in with your gear and rods.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/What are driving conditions like around Ear Falls?
Highway 105 is your main artery in and out of Ear Falls. It is a paved two-lane highway, well-maintained but lightly travelled, which is a gift if you are nervous about driving an RV. Watch for moose and deer, especially at dawn and dusk, and slow down through curves near the Chukuni River crossings. Gravel forestry roads to remote lodges and boat launches demand a slower pace and extra clearance, so confirm road suitability with your host. Winters bring snow, ice, and bitter cold, which is why most rentals run May through October. Pro tip: fuel up in Red Lake or Vermilion Bay, because gas stations are sparse along Highway 105.
511on.ca/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds around Ear Falls?
Better than you might think for being this far north. Pakwash Provincial Park has electric campsites, potable water taps, vault and flush toilets, a dump station, and a beach with a playground. Resort campgrounds around Lac Seul typically offer full hookups (water, 30-amp electric, and sometimes sewer), fish-cleaning houses, boat launches, and small camp stores. There is no commercial dump station inside the village of Ear Falls itself, so plan to dump at Pakwash or your resort before heading home. Pro tip: top off freshwater in town before heading to remote landings like Wenesaga or Gold Pines, where potable water can be limited.
ontarioparks.ca/park/pakwashWhat features should I look for in an RV rental for an Ear Falls fishing trip?
Focus on what makes a long fishing weekend comfortable. Most Ear Falls RV rentals on RVezy come with a queen bed, a dinette and/or sofa that converts to extra sleeping, a full kitchen with propane stove and fridge, bathroom with shower, furnace for cool northern nights, and roof A/C. For fishing trips, prioritize a freezer big enough for your walleye fillets, an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day on Lac Seul, and a generator or solar setup if you are staying at unserviced sites. Many Class C and travel trailer rentals sleep 4 to 6 with seatbelts for safe travel. Pro tip: ask your host about adding camp chairs, a Bluetooth speaker, and a fish cooker as paid add-ons to make the trip feel turnkey.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Ear%20Falls%2C%20OntarioWhat add-ons and options can I get with my Ear Falls RV rental?
Hosts on RVezy offer a great mix of practical add-ons that make your trip easier. Common options around Ear Falls include linens and bedding packages, kitchen kits, camping chairs, BBQs, generators, bike racks, and tow packages if you want to bring a boat. Pickup is usually from the host's address, with a quick walkthrough and a starting odometer reading, and drop-off mirrors that process. Mileage policies vary by host: many include 100 to 200 km per day, with overages around CA$0.30 to CA$0.50 per km, while some offer unlimited mileage perfect for the long stretches around Lac Seul. Pro tip: bundle the linens, kitchen kit, and generator into one add-on conversation with your host to keep the booking simple.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Ear%20Falls%2C%20OntarioHow do payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and handled entirely inside RVezy, so you are never sending money through email or text. You will pay your rental total at checkout using a credit card, and a refundable security deposit is held (not charged) on your card before pickup. The deposit is separate from your booking payment and is released back to you after the trip, assuming the RV is returned in the same condition. To avoid issues, do a quick video walkthrough with your host at pickup and again at drop-off, noting fuel and propane levels and any existing scratches. Pro tip: keep all messages and trip-related questions inside the RVezy app, since that paper trail is what support uses if anything needs reviewing later.
