Campgrounds near Frankford, Ontario
Frankford sits on the Trent River in Quinte West, roughly 15 kilometres north of Trenton and the Bay of Quinte. The village anchors Lock 6 on the Trent-Severn Waterway, and most campgrounds within a short drive are strung along the river corridor or spread east toward Prince Edward County and west toward Northumberland County. This makes it a practical base for RV travellers who want water access without the crowds of Ontario's bigger provincial parks.
Options range from full-service private RV parks to a nearby provincial park campground. Island Park RV Resort, North Shore RV Park, and Bay Meadows Trailer and RV Park cater to RV travellers with hookups and river or lake frontage, while Camp Barcovan Tent and RV Park mixes tent and RV sites in a family setting. Ferris Provincial Park, located next to the Trent River in Campbellford in northeastern Northumberland County, is the closest Ontario Parks campground and the go-to reservation option for travellers wanting a public-land experience.
Highway 401 runs just south through Trenton, so access from Toronto, Kingston, and the Ottawa corridor is straightforward.
Things to do near Frankford
The Trent River is the main draw. Boating, paddling, and fishing are the core activities, with bass and pike commonly found along sections of the Trent River, and Lock 6 in Frankford itself is a working lock on the Trent-Severn Waterway with a small beach and picnic area adjacent to the canal. Cyclists use the Trans Canada Trail corridor that follows the river.
Day trips fan out in three directions. North near Campbellford, Ferris Provincial Park features 10 kilometres of hiking and mountain biking trails and a suspension bridge over Ranney Gorge. South and east, Prince Edward County offers Sandbanks beaches, wineries, and farm markets, all reachable in under an hour.
Families staying at Camp Barcovan Tent and RV Park or Island Park RV Resort often combine river days with a run into Trenton for groceries and supplies.

The RV season in this part of Ontario is short and predictable. Ferris Provincial Park is typically open from mid-May to mid-October, and while the main entrance is closed during the off-season, a small secondary parking lot at the Ranney Falls Generating Station is open all year and plowed in winter. Most private parks around Frankford, including Island Park RV Resort, North Shore RV Park, Camp Barcovan Tent and RV Park, and Bay Meadows Trailer and RV Park, follow a similar May-to-October window, and several lean heavily on seasonal rather than transient sites.
July and August are peak. Weekends fill weeks or months out, and the Canada Day and Civic Holiday long weekends are the busiest of the year. June and September are quieter and often the best time to travel with an RV: warm days, cooler nights, fewer bugs after early June.
Ontario Parks alcohol rules are strictly enforced at all times, and park wardens patrol long weekends closely. Blackfly and mosquito pressure peaks in late May and early June along the river, so screen rooms and repellent are worth packing for shoulder-season trips.

Lisa and Manny were amazing to deal with . They responded quickly and were very helpful in answering any questions we had. The trailer was exactly what we needed to make our camping weekend an enjoyable one !!!!
Brent M. - Sep 2026
Lisa and Manny are wonderful hosts, explain everything in detail. Trailer tows beautifully. I had no issues with the trailer at all. I would suggest bringing a mattress topper because the Murphy bed mattress is not as thick as a regular mattress.

Ryan & Ashley196 trips - Joined Aug 2019 - Superhost
Ryan and Ashley are great to communicate with and flexible regarding delivery and pick up. They provided a great run through of the trailer. The trailer was perfect for our stay at Sandbanks and was fully stocked with all the necessary accessories. Would definitely rent again!
Ellie L. - Sep 2026
Wonderful experience booking and staying in this rental. The hosts were great at corresponding before our trip, and after we arrived they were helpful setting up and explaining the amenities. They were extremely flexible with delivery - it did not go unappreciated (especially when you're traveling with little ones). Thank you, Ryan & Ashley!!

How to book
Ferris Provincial Park is booked through the Ontario Parks reservation system online or by phone. Reservations are accepted up to five months in advance of the arrival date; for example, January 15 can be booked for a June 15 arrival. The online system opens at 7:00 a.m. Eastern, five months in advance of the first date of a trip, so popular summer weekends go quickly and setting an alarm for the release date is worthwhile.
Private parks around Frankford are booked directly with each operator by phone, email, or their own website. Island Park RV Resort, North Shore RV Park, Camp Barcovan Tent and RV Park, and Bay Meadows Trailer and RV Park often prioritize seasonal renters, so transient RV availability can be limited on summer weekends. Booking two to three months ahead for July and August is a safe target, and calling directly gives the clearest read on hookup type and rig-length limits.
What to expect on the ground
Sites in this area tend to be treed and level, with grass or gravel pads. Private parks typically offer 30-amp electric with water, and some have 50-amp and full sewer hookups. Ferris has two campground areas offering 163 sites for car camping, ranging from tents to trailers, with a portion of them electrical and no water or sewer at individual sites. A boat launch facility is available for launching into the Trent River.
Valleyview Loop is set atop a forested drumlin, with some campsites providing a view across the Trent River Valley, while the Bedrock Loop sits closer to the day-use area. Cell coverage is reliable close to Trenton and Highway 401 and can weaken in the wooded pockets north of Frankford. Firewood purchase-on-site rules apply at most parks to limit the spread of invasive pests.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Frankford, ON
How much does an RV rental in Frankford typically cost?
An RV rental in Frankford is one of the more affordable ways to explore the Bay of Quinte region. On RVezy, travel trailers in the Quinte West area generally start around $100 to $175 CAD per night, Class C motorhomes range from roughly $200 to $325 per night, and larger Class A motorhomes typically sit between $250 and $400 per night. To find a cheap RV rental in Frankford, book midweek, target the shoulder seasons of late May or September, and look for hosts offering nightly discounts for stays of seven or more nights. Pro tip: filter by Instant Book to lock in availability fast for summer long weekends like Canada Day, when prices peak along the Trent River.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Frankford%2C%20OntarioWhat licence do I need to rent an RV in Frankford, Ontario?
Good news for first-time renters: a standard Ontario G class driver's licence (or your home province or country equivalent) is all you need to rent an RV in Frankford. No special RV licence, air brake endorsement, or commercial licence is required for the motorhomes, campervans, and travel trailers listed on RVezy. You'll need to be 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID right through the platform during booking, so there's no paperwork to chase down. Visiting from outside Canada? Bring your home licence plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you're set. Most guests are surprised how quick and paperless the process really is.
ontario.ca/page/driving-and-roadsIs protection coverage included with my Frankford RV rental?
Yes, every RV rental in Frankford booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance. The protection plan helps cover physical damage to the vehicle during your trip, giving you real peace of mind while you are cruising along Highway 33 or parked at Lock 6. During checkout, you choose the level of protection that fits your trip, so you decide how much coverage you want. This is purpose-built coverage designed specifically for peer-to-peer RV rentals, not traditional auto insurance. You can review the full details of each plan on RVezy before you confirm your booking.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if my plans change after I book?
Plans change, and RVezy is built for that. Every booking is backed by the RVezy cancellation policy (set by RVezy, not the individual host) that includes a full money-back grace period right after you book, plus structured refund windows based on how far out your trip start date is. There are also considerations for unexpected events like severe weather, which matters in eastern Ontario where summer thunderstorms can roll across the Trent-Severn Waterway. You can review the current cancellation terms in the RVezy Help Center and during checkout so you can book your Frankford RV trip with confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on my Frankford RV trip?
Absolutely, and Frankford is a wonderful spot for it. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to instantly see every pet-friendly RV rental Frankford hosts offer, from cozy campervans to family-size motorhomes. Once you arrive, your dog will love splashing along the Trent River shoreline at Frankford Tourist Park, hiking the leashed-dog trails at nearby Ferris Provincial Park, or exploring Sager Conservation Area. Many local campgrounds, including Quinte's Isle Campark and KOA Holiday Brighton, welcome leashed pets too. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet fees and bring a long lead, a towel for muddy paws, and proof of rabies vaccination.
ontarioparks.ca/park/ferrisCan the RV be delivered right to my campsite in Frankford?
Yes, RV delivery Frankford renters love is one of the easiest ways to start your trip, especially if you're new to RVing. Many RVezy hosts in Quinte West and the surrounding Bay of Quinte area will drive the RV to your campground, set it up on your site, level it, connect water and electrical hookups, and walk you through every system before they leave. Popular drop-off locations include Frankford Tourist Park beside Lock 6, Ferris Provincial Park in Campbellford, and the KOA Holiday Brighton. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to see which hosts deliver to your destination, and message them to confirm the fee, which is typically based on distance.
quintewest.ca/parks-facilities/parks/frankford-tourist-park-campground/How does mileage work and how far can I realistically drive?
You've got plenty of road ahead. Hosts on RVezy set their own daily kilometre allowances, and some listings even offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is ideal for a longer Frankford RV trip. From Frankford, popular destinations are well within reach: Prince Edward County and Sandbanks Provincial Park are about 45 minutes south, Kingston is roughly 1 hour east, Peterborough and the Kawarthas are around 70 minutes northwest, Toronto is about 1 hour 40 minutes west, and Algonquin Provincial Park is roughly 3 hours north. Pro tip: estimate your total kilometres before booking and filter for unlimited mileage listings if you're planning a wide-ranging RV road trip from Frankford.
ontario.ca/page/road-and-highway-conditionsWhere are the best campgrounds near Frankford for my RV?
You are spoiled for choice. The best campgrounds near Frankford include Frankford Tourist Park right in town beside Lock 6 of the Trent-Severn Waterway, with a sandy beach and seasonal RV sites; Ferris Provincial Park in Campbellford (about 30 minutes north), known for the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge and scenic trails; KOA Holiday Brighton, about 25 minutes southwest with full resort amenities; and Sandbanks Provincial Park in Prince Edward County (about 50 minutes south) for legendary sand beaches. Pro tip: Ontario Parks bookings open five months in advance, so reserve early for summer weekends.
ontarioparks.ca/park/ferris/campingWhen is the best time of year for RV camping in Frankford?
Frankford shines from late May through early October, with each stretch offering something different. Late May to mid-June brings temperatures around 15 to 22 degrees Celsius, blossoming trails, and the launch of the Trent-Severn Waterway boating season. July and August are peak summer at 22 to 28 degrees Celsius, ideal for swimming at Frankford Tourist Park's sandy beach and chasing walleye in the Bay of Quinte. September is the local insider's secret: warm days, cool nights, fewer bugs, and stunning fall colour along the Trent River. Most provincial park campgrounds, including Ferris, operate roughly mid-May through mid-October, so plan your RV camping Frankford trip within that window for the easiest experience.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/I've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay?
You'll be just fine, and Frankford is a forgiving place to learn. Every RVezy host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup covering driving tips, hookups, slide-outs, the generator, the propane system, and tank dumping, so first time renting an RV doesn't mean figuring it out alone. The roads around Frankford are mostly flat, well-marked rural routes like Highway 33 and County Road 33, with very little big-city traffic once you're north of the 401. Many hosts also offer delivery, which means you skip driving entirely on day one. Pro tip: do a slow practice loop in a quiet parking lot, like the Frankford Tourist Park lot, before heading out.
ontario.ca/document/official-mto-drivers-handbookWhat happens if something goes wrong with the RV on my trip?
You're never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection package, so a flat tire on County Road 33, a dead battery at Ferris Provincial Park, or a tow from the shoulder of Highway 401 is handled with one phone call. Your host is also just a message away through the RVezy app for quick questions like "how do I restart the water pump?" And RVezy's customer support team is available before, during, and after every trip. Pro tip: save the RVezy roadside number and your host's contact info to your phone before pickup so you can reach help in seconds, even with spotty cell coverage in rural Quinte West.
ontario.ca/page/highway-traffic-actCan I take my Frankford RV rental across the border into the United States?
Cross-border trips are sometimes possible, but they depend on the host and the protection package's insurance coverage, so always confirm with your host before you book. From Frankford, the closest US crossings are the Thousand Islands Bridge near Gananoque (about 1 hour 20 minutes east) and the Peace Bridge at Fort Erie (about 3.5 hours west), opening up routes to the Adirondacks, the Finger Lakes, and beyond. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals. Pro tip: message the host directly from the listing page, share your route, and ask about cross-border permissions, additional fees, and the vehicle registration documents you'll need at customs.
cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/menu-eng.htmlWhat about fuel costs and gas mileage for a Frankford RV trip?
Fuel is one of your biggest variables, but it's easy to plan for. In Ontario, gasoline typically runs around $1.45 to $1.65 per litre, and diesel is similar. Travel trailers don't burn fuel themselves, but the tow vehicle averages around 15 to 20 litres per 100 km when towing. Class B campervans get the best efficiency at roughly 12 to 14 L/100 km, Class C motorhomes sit around 18 to 22 L/100 km, and Class A motorhomes can hit 25 to 30 L/100 km. Pro tip: fill up in Trenton or Belleville along Highway 401 where prices are usually a few cents lower than at smaller stations along County Road 33.
ontario.ca/page/gasoline-pricesHow far in advance should I book a campground near Frankford?
Book sooner rather than later, especially for summer. Ontario Parks opens reservations exactly five months ahead of your arrival date through the official Ontario Parks reservation system, and popular spots like Ferris Provincial Park and Sandbanks fill the moment the booking window opens for July and August weekends. Frankford Tourist Park's seasonal sites are managed by the City of Quinte West and can be reserved directly through them. Private parks like KOA Holiday Brighton typically take reservations year-round. Pro tip: set a calendar reminder for the five-month mark at 7 a.m. Eastern, and have a backup site in mind in case your first choice is gone.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/What are the local driving conditions like around Frankford?
Driving an RV around Frankford is refreshingly relaxed. The main route in and out is Highway 401 (about 15 minutes south at Trenton) which is flat, four lanes wide, and well-suited to large rigs. County Road 33 (Frankford-Stirling Road) and Highway 30 are the local arteries: paved, two lanes, with gentle curves along the Trent River. Watch for low overhead clearances at older railway underpasses near Trenton, and stay alert for deer at dawn and dusk on rural stretches. Winter brings snow from December through March, so most rentals operate May to October. Pro tip: download offline maps before leaving, as cell service drops in spots around Sager Conservation Area.
511.ontario.ca/What hookups and amenities will I find at Frankford-area campgrounds?
You will find everything from full-service resorts to back-to-basics provincial sites. Frankford Tourist Park offers seasonal sites with hydro, washrooms, and a sanitary dump station beside Lock 6. KOA Holiday Brighton offers 30/50 amp full hookups, Wi-Fi, and a pool. Ferris Provincial Park has electric sites (no individual water or sewer hookups), a centralized dump and fill station near the gatehouse, and water taps throughout the loops. Pro tip: top up fresh water and dump tanks before leaving any provincial park, since the single sanitation lane at Ferris can back up around the 11 a.m. checkout.
ontarioparks.ca/park/ferris/campingWhat's inside a typical RV rental in Frankford?
More creature comforts than you'd expect. A typical motorhome rental Frankford host lists comes equipped with a queen or king bed, convertible dinette and sofa beds (most rigs sleep four to eight), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, an indoor bathroom with toilet and shower, air conditioning, a furnace, and a propane system. Many include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor awning, and seatbelts for travelling passengers. Higher-end Class A and Class C rigs often add a generator, solar, and a back-up camera. Wi-Fi varies, so confirm with your host or plan to tether to your phone. Pro tip: filter listings by Sleeps count and amenities like "Generator" or "Bike Rack" to match your family's exact needs.
tc.gc.ca/en/services/road/safety-standards-vehicles.htmlWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Add-ons make life easier, especially for first-timers. Popular RVezy host extras around Frankford include bedding and linen packages ($30 to $75), kitchen kits with pots, pans, and utensils ($30 to $50), camping chairs and outdoor tables, BBQs, bike racks, generators, and propane refills. Many hosts offer delivery and setup to local campgrounds for a per-kilometre fee, plus optional dump and refill services at return so you can skip the sanitation station entirely. Pickup and drop-off times are set by the host and shown right on the listing, with most flexibility for early or late drop-off available by request. Pro tip: bundle add-ons in your initial booking request, since hosts often discount packages when you book multiple extras together.
quintewest.ca/things-to-do/How does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple, secure, and handled entirely through the RVezy platform. You pay by credit card when you book, with a portion charged upfront to confirm the reservation and the balance charged closer to your trip start date. A refundable security deposit is placed on your card before pickup and released after drop-off, provided the RV is returned in the same condition with no damage, no missing items, and tanks handled per the host's instructions. Deposit amounts vary by rig. Pro tip: take date-stamped photos and a short video of the interior, exterior, and tanks at both pickup and drop-off to keep your deposit return smooth and stress-free.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhat are the best road trips I can take from Frankford?
You're sitting on a perfect launch pad. A classic RV road trip from Frankford starts with Prince Edward County wine country and Sandbanks Provincial Park (about 45 minutes south), then loops east to Kingston and the Thousand Islands (1 hour to 1.5 hours), or north along the Trent-Severn Waterway through Campbellford, Peterborough, and the Kawartha Lakes (1 to 2 hours). For a longer adventure, head 3 hours north to Algonquin Provincial Park for moose and fall colours, or 1 hour 40 minutes west to Toronto for an urban detour. Pro tip: book your campervan rental Frankford hosts list with unlimited mileage if you plan to hit multiple stops, and pre-book provincial park sites at the five-month mark.
