Campgrounds near Fergus, Ontario
Fergus sits in the Grand River valley of Wellington County, roughly a 90-minute drive northwest of Toronto and a short hop from Guelph, Kitchener, and Waterloo. The town anchors a compact camping region built around the Grand River, Lake Belwood, and the limestone cliffs of the neighbouring Elora Gorge. Most RV travellers use Fergus as a base for river activities, small-town shopping, and day trips into Southwestern Ontario.
Highland Pines Campground sits on the shores of Lake Belwood outside Fergus, offering seasonal camping for trailers, overnight RV camping, and lakeside cabin rentals, and is open May through October. Rainbow Ridge Resort lies a short drive east near Grand Valley, and Summer Place Resort and RV Trail rounds out the closer options.
Additional RV parks within an easy drive include Bingemans Campground in Kitchener and Green Acre Park Campground. The mix covers full-hookup resorts, family-focused parks, and adult-oriented properties, so trip planners can match the campground style to the group.
Things to do near Fergus
The Grand River is the main draw. The Elora Gorge Conservation Area, minutes from Fergus, offers riverside hiking trails to scenic lookouts, fishing, picnicking, and tubing or kayaking through rapids and calm stretches of the river. Limestone cliffs along the gorge rise up to 22 metres above the water.
On Lake Belwood, Highland Pines offers access to protected wetlands via local hiking trails and an on-site marina with 100 rental dock slips for launching boats onto the lake. Families staying at RV parks with pools and splash pads have on-site options for hot afternoons.
Off-site, the historic downtowns of Fergus and Elora offer restaurants, shops, and river overlooks, and day trips reach St. Jacobs, Guelph, and the Blue Mountains within a couple of hours.

How to book campgrounds near Fergus
Reservations are essential in summer. The GRCA reservation system at grcacamping.ca provides a 24-hour online reservation service until mid-October, and campsite reservations can be made for all eight Grand River conservation areas that offer camping, including Elora Gorge. Bookings open on a rolling window in the spring, so mark the release date and book at opening for July and August weekends.
Private parks each run their own systems. Highland Pines takes overnight and seasonal reservations through its website. Rainbow Ridge Resort, Summer Place Resort and RV Trail, Bingemans Campground, and Green Acre Park Campground handle bookings directly through their own sites or by phone. Confirm rig length, hookup type (30 or 50 amp), and pet policy before paying deposits, and check cancellation windows, which are often stricter for holiday weekends.
