Campgrounds near East Ferris
East Ferris is a municipality in northeastern Ontario, just southeast of North Bay along Highway 17. It sits near Lake Nosbonsing and the Mattawa River corridor, putting RV renters within about an hour of two provincial parks and several private campgrounds.
Close-in options include Fairview Park Camping & Marina and Champlain Tent Trailer and RV Park, both private operations geared to trailers and motorhomes with lake or river access. Camp Conewango Campground offers another private-park option in the same corridor. For provincial-park camping, Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park is the nearest Ontario Parks destination along the historic Mattawa River, and Kiosk Campground provides a small, quiet access point into the northwest corner of Algonquin Provincial Park.
The area suits renters looking for a mix of serviced RV sites and lake-based outdoor recreation without the crowds of the Highway 60 Algonquin corridor. Most campgrounds operate seasonally from spring through mid-fall.
Things to do near East Ferris
Paddling is the dominant activity. Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park sits on the historic Mattawa River, a former voyageur canoe route, with canoeing, kayaking, and hiking on site. Kiosk provides access to Kioshkokwi Lake and canoe routes into Algonquin's interior, with a boat launch adjacent to the campground beach.
On land, families can hike interpretive trails at Samuel de Champlain and visit the Voyageur Heritage Centre in the park's visitor centre, which highlights the fur-trade history of the Mattawa River through interactive exhibits. Park programming in July and August often includes guided hikes, children's activities, and a chance to paddle a replica Voyageur canoe.
Swimming beaches and picnic areas are available inside Samuel de Champlain. Anglers use Lake Nosbonsing and the many small lakes off Highway 630.

The regional camping season runs roughly from late April through late October. Kiosk Campground in Algonquin and Samuel de Champlain both operate on a similar spring-to-fall schedule. Outside those dates, most private campgrounds in the corridor are also closed.
July and August are peak season. Weekends fill quickly at both provincial parks and popular private grounds, and long-weekend inventory can disappear within minutes of the Ontario Parks booking window opening. Bugs are heaviest from late May through June, with blackflies giving way to mosquitoes as summer progresses.
September delivers cooler nights, fewer insects, and strong fall colour along the Mattawa River valley. Drive-in RV camping is not offered in the cold months at the nearby provincial parks. Shoulder-season trips in May and late September usually have wider site availability and a quieter atmosphere on both provincial and private grounds.

Julie and Tim were amazing to deal with. The trailer was awesome. So much sleeping room and great amenities. Julie and Tim were both super accomadating with delivery time and they made our wedding weekend a much more comfortable stay with their trailer. Everything was in great working condition and they set it all up for us without us needing to help. I would highly recommend anyone to rent this trailer. Our friends loved it as well.

How to book campgrounds near East Ferris
Provincial-park sites at Samuel de Champlain and Kiosk are booked through the Ontario Parks reservation system at reservations.ontarioparks.ca or by calling 1-888-ONT-PARK. The booking window opens at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time, five months in advance of the arrival date, and full payment plus a non-refundable reservation fee is required at the time of booking.
Backcountry interior permits for Algonquin via the Kiosk access point follow the same five-month, 7:00 a.m. rule. Reservations must be in the name of the person occupying the site, and multiple bookings in the same name for overlapping dates are not allowed.
Private campgrounds such as Fairview Park Camping & Marina, Champlain Tent Trailer and RV Park, and Camp Conewango Campground handle bookings directly through their own websites or by phone.
What to expect
Sites vary widely. Private parks along Highway 17 and Lake Nosbonsing typically offer serviced RV pads with water and hydro, some with sewer, plus marina or lake access. Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park has both electrical and non-electrical car-camping sites, with modern comfort stations that include flush toilets and hot showers at the Babawasse and Jingwakoki campgrounds, treated drinking water throughout, and a seasonal park store selling firewood, ice, and basic supplies.
Kiosk is more rustic. It has 17 sites, flush toilets but no showers or laundry, and no electrical hookups. It can accommodate smaller RVs but suits campers comfortable with basic facilities.
Cell coverage is spotty off Highway 17. Wildlife is active, so food-storage discipline is required, and bear-country protocols apply throughout the corridor.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near East Ferris, ON
How much does an RV rental in East Ferris, ON cost?
RV rental in East Ferris is one of the more affordable ways to explore northern Ontario, with most travel trailers and Class C motorhomes on RVezy starting around $150 to $250 CAD per night. Larger Class A motorhomes and luxury fifth wheels typically run $250 to $400 CAD per night, while compact campervan rentals in East Ferris can dip below $150. You'll save the most by booking midweek, traveling in late May or September, and choosing a host who offers free local delivery to a nearby campground. Pro tip: filter for Instant Book listings near North Bay, just 15 minutes west, where inventory is wider and pricing tends to be more competitive than booking last-minute in peak July.
eastferris.ca/en/index.aspxWhat license do I need to rent an RV in East Ferris, Ontario?
Good news: a regular Ontario G class driver's license (or your equivalent from another province, state, or country) is all you need to rent an RV in East Ferris. No special RV license, air brake endorsement, or commercial license is required for the motorhomes and trailers listed on RVezy here. You'll need to be 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID right inside the booking flow, so there's no extra paperwork to track down. Visiting from outside Canada? An International Driving Permit picked up from your home auto club (usually under $25) paired with your home license keeps things smooth at the Ontario border. Most first-time renters are surprised how straightforward it is.
ontario.ca/page/drivers-licenceWhat protection is included when I rent an RV in East Ferris?
Every East Ferris RV trip booked through RVezy comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built right in, so you can hit Highway 17 or Highway 11 with real peace of mind. The protection plan covers physical damage to the RV during your trip, which is a huge load off when you are a first-time renter heading toward Algonquin or Lake Nipissing. During checkout you choose your coverage level, from a standard option up to premium tiers with lower deductibles, so the level of comfort is in your hands rather than the host's. Roadside assistance is included with every plan, covering things like flat tires, lockouts, battery boosts, and towing if needed.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my East Ferris RV rental?
Booking an RV rental in East Ferris is lower-risk than most people expect. RVezy (not the individual host) sets a consistent cancellation policy across every listing, which includes a money-back grace period right after you book, so you have breathing room if your plans shift in the first day or two. After that, the refund amount depends on how close you are to your trip start date. If a host cancels on you, RVezy will help you find a replacement RV or issue a refund or travel credit. The RVezy support team is available before, during, and after every booking to walk you through your options.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an East Ferris RV trip?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental in East Ferris is easy to find on RVezy. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on the search page and you will see hosts who welcome dogs (and sometimes cats) along for the ride. Many local hosts even provide pet bedding or bowls. Once you are on the road, Champlain Park along Lake Nosbonsing and the surrounding trails are great leashed-dog spots minutes from East Ferris. Heading further? Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park, about 40 minutes east, allows leashed pets on most trails and has a designated pet-friendly beach area. Bring a long lead, a tick check routine, and plenty of fresh water.
ontarioparks.ca/parksblog/camping-with-pets/Can the RV be delivered to my campsite in East Ferris?
Yes, RV delivery in East Ferris is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-time renters who'd rather skip towing or driving a big rig themselves. Many local hosts will deliver and set up your motorhome or travel trailer directly at Champlain Park Campground, Lake Nosbonsing area sites, or nearby Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park. They'll level the RV, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system from the propane stove to the awning. Filter listings by Delivery, message the host with your campground name and dates, and confirm the delivery fee upfront. You show up, unpack the cooler, and start the campfire. That's it.
ontarioparks.ca/park/samueldechamplainHow far can I drive on an East Ferris RV trip?
You have serious road-trip range from East Ferris, and many local hosts offer generous daily mileage allowances (often 150 to 200 km per day) with some listings even featuring RV rental with unlimited mileage. Algonquin Provincial Park's east gate is about 90 km south, Sudbury sits around 125 km west, Ottawa is roughly 360 km southeast, and Toronto is about 360 km south. Want to cross into Quebec? Mont-Tremblant is a scenic drive east of around 300 km. Just check the daily kilometre limit on each listing and message the host if you are planning a longer loop. Pro tip: stacking 2 to 3 nights at one campground keeps mileage costs down and lets you actually relax.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736534-Mileage-and-generator-usageWhere are the best campgrounds near East Ferris?
You have excellent options for RV camping in East Ferris within a short drive. Champlain Park (operated by the Municipality of East Ferris) sits on Lake Nosbonsing with serviced sites, a sandy beach, and easy boat access right in town. Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park, about 40 minutes east on Highway 17, offers riverside sites along the historic Mattawa River with electrical hookups, showers, and a dump station. North Bay/Marten River KOA-style private parks and Mikisew Provincial Park (about 90 minutes south near South River) round out the options for beach days and family-friendly amenities. Book through the Ontario Parks reservation system up to five months ahead for peak summer weekends.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/When is the best time to visit East Ferris in an RV?
The sweet spot for an East Ferris RV trip is late May through early October, with July and August delivering the warmest weather (daytime highs around 24 to 27°C and comfortable swimming in Lake Nosbonsing). June brings lush green forests but also blackflies, so pack bug spray. September is the local insider favourite: crisp mornings around 8°C, sunny afternoons near 18°C, fewer crowds, and the start of jaw-dropping fall colours across the Near North. Most provincial park campgrounds in this region open in mid-May and close mid-October. Winters here are genuinely cold (often -20°C or lower in January), so most RV rentals are seasonal. Aim for early September for the best blend of weather, availability, and price.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/results_1991_2020_e.html?searchType=stnProv&lstProvince=ONI have never rented an RV before. Will I be okay?
You will be in great hands. First time renting an RV in East Ferris is genuinely common, and every RVezy host does a full walkthrough at pickup, covering the propane, water system, slide-outs, generator, awning, and dump procedure. You can message the host before booking to ask anything (height clearance, how the toilet works, whether the bed is comfy), and the 24/7 roadside assistance line is in your pocket the entire trip. For your first East Ferris RV trip, consider a Class C motorhome or smaller travel trailer with delivery to Champlain Park, where the level sites and quiet roads make settling in stress-free. Within an hour you will feel like you have done this for years.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/categories/360003356193-RentersWhat happens if something goes wrong with the RV?
You're never on your own. Every RV rental in East Ferris booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection package, so a flat tire on Highway 11, a dead battery at Champlain Park, or a lockout at Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park is just a quick phone call away. The RVezy support team can also help coordinate with your host for mechanical questions, and most local hosts answer messages quickly because they know the area's service network. Cell coverage is solid along Highway 17 and Highway 11 corridors near East Ferris, though it can get patchy deep in Algonquin. Pro tip: snap photos of the RV at pickup and keep the host's number saved before you leave service range.
ontario.ca/page/road-safetyCan I take an East Ferris RV rental across the border to the US or Quebec?
Quebec is wide open: an RV road trip from East Ferris to Mont-Tremblant, Gatineau, or even the Gaspesie is straightforward, and most hosts are comfortable with inter-provincial travel as long as you let them know your route. US border crossings are sometimes allowed but require host approval in advance because of insurance documentation, so message the host before booking to confirm. Travel to Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental, since coverage does not extend there. Always carry your booking confirmation, host contact info, and passport. Pro tip: the Ottawa to Montreal corridor makes a fantastic 4-day loop from East Ferris with stops at Algonquin and Mont-Tremblant.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much will fuel cost on my East Ferris RV trip?
Fuel is usually the biggest variable cost on any motorhome rental in East Ferris, so it's worth planning ahead. Class B campervans typically get 18 to 22 L/100km, Class C motorhomes around 22 to 28 L/100km, and larger Class A or fifth wheel combos can run 28 to 35 L/100km. With gas prices in the North Bay area generally tracking 5 to 10 cents above Toronto pricing, budget roughly $0.30 to $0.45 per kilometre for fuel on a typical Class C. Fill up in North Bay before heading toward Mattawa or Algonquin, where stations are fewer and pricier. Pro tip: driving 90 km/h instead of 110 km/h on Highway 11 can shave 15% off your fuel bill on a big rig.
ontario.ca/page/fuel-pricesHow far in advance should I book a campground near East Ferris?
For peak July and August weekends, aim to book provincial park sites the moment the five-month reservation window opens through the Ontario Parks online system, especially for Samuel de Champlain and Mikisew Provincial Park. Champlain Park in East Ferris is operated by the municipality and tends to open seasonal reservations in early spring, so check the East Ferris municipal website by March. Private parks like North Bay/Trout Lake KOA usually have more flexibility but still fill up for long weekends (Victoria Day, Canada Day, Civic Holiday, Labour Day). Pro tip: midweek arrivals (Sunday through Thursday) almost always have last-minute availability, even in July, and that's when many RVezy hosts also offer their best nightly rates.
ontarioparks.ca/reservationsWhat are the driving conditions like around East Ferris?
Driving an RV around East Ferris is genuinely manageable, even for first-timers. Highway 11 and Highway 17 (the Trans-Canada) are well-maintained two-to-four lane routes with wide shoulders and frequent rest stops. You'll deal with rolling Canadian Shield terrain, occasional moose and deer crossings (especially at dawn and dusk near Mattawa), and the rare logging truck. In shoulder seasons, watch for sudden rain or early snow at higher elevations near North Bay. Avoid driving Highway 11 north of Powassan during whiteout conditions in October or April. Pro tip: keep your speed steady at 90 to 100 km/h, give yourself extra braking room, and plan fuel stops in North Bay or Mattawa rather than the smaller villages in between.
511on.ca/What amenities do campgrounds near East Ferris offer?
You'll find a solid mix of services at campgrounds near East Ferris. Champlain Park on Lake Nosbonsing offers 30-amp electrical sites, potable water taps, a dump station, washrooms with showers, and a sandy beach. Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park has 211 sites with electrical hookups, hot showers, flush toilets, a dump station near the gatehouse, and potable water fill stations. North Bay/Trout Lake KOA goes full-service with 30/50-amp power, water, sewer at the site, Wi-Fi, laundry, and a pool. For dumping and filling tanks on the road, the Petro-Canada in Mattawa and several stations along Highway 11 in North Bay offer RV-friendly facilities. Pro tip: top up water before heading deep into Algonquin, where potable taps are limited.
ontarioparks.ca/park/samueldechamplain/facilitiesWhat is inside a typical East Ferris RV rental?
Most motorhome rentals in East Ferris come ready to camp the moment you turn the key. Expect a full kitchen with fridge/freezer, propane stove, microwave, sink, and basic cookware; a bathroom with toilet, sink, and shower; sleeping for anywhere from 2 to 8 depending on the rig; furnace and air conditioning; and seatbelted travel seats matching the sleeping capacity. Many hosts include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor awning, camp chairs, and a propane BBQ. Wi-Fi and generators are common in Class A and larger Class C motorhomes, while campervan rentals in East Ferris keep things simpler and nimble. Use the listing filters for sleeps count and amenities to match your trip. Local tip: lake-cooled nights mean you will rarely need the AC if you camp near Nosbonsing.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=East%20Ferris%2C%20OntarioWhat add-ons and pickup options should I look for?
East Ferris hosts often offer smart add-ons that make life easier: linen and towel packages, kitchen kits, generators, bike racks, kayak racks, outdoor furniture sets, and pre-stocked propane tanks. Many also offer pickup at their property in East Ferris, Corbeil, or Astorville, while others will deliver to your campground for a flat fee plus per-kilometre rate (typically $1 to $2/km from home base). Mileage policies vary by listing, with most including 100 to 200 km per day and overage charges around $0.30 to $0.45/km, while some feature unlimited mileage for road-trippers. Filter by Instant Book to lock in dates fast, and message your host to confirm pickup time (usually after 2pm) and drop-off (often before 11am).
eastferris.ca/en/our-community/our-community.aspxHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment for your RV rental in East Ferris runs entirely through the secure RVezy platform, so you never hand cash to a host. You will pay in two parts: a portion at booking to confirm dates and the balance closer to your trip start. The security deposit is a pre-authorization hold on your credit card (not a charge) placed shortly before pickup, and it is released after drop-off assuming the RV comes back in the same condition it left. Deposit amounts vary by RV class and trip length but are shown clearly on each listing before you book. Pro tip: do a quick walk-around video at pickup and drop-off, keep the dump station receipt, and refill propane to the same level to keep your deposit release fast and friction-free.
