Campgrounds near Ignace, Ontario
Ignace sits along the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 17) in northwestern Ontario, roughly halfway between Thunder Bay and the Manitoba border. The town works well as a fuelling and resupply stop for cross-country RV travellers and as a base for anglers heading into the surrounding chain of lakes. Grocery, fuel, and hardware are all available in town, which matters when the next full-service community is a long drive in either direction.
Camping options in the area fall into two categories: Ontario Provincial Parks and privately run resort campgrounds. Sandbar Lake Provincial Park sits just north of town off Highway 599, and Ojibway Provincial Park lies about 25 kilometres southwest of Sioux Lookout on Highway 72. Private options include Davy Lake Campground and Resort near Ignace, Abram Lake Resort and RV Park near Sioux Lookout, and Timber Edge Camps in the surrounding bush.
The landscape is classic Canadian Shield: boreal forest, granite outcrops, and hundreds of interconnected lakes. Expect a short but active camping season and long summer daylight.
Things to do near Ignace
Fishing anchors most trips to this area. Lakes in the region hold walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, lake trout, and muskellunge, and boat launches are available at both provincial parks and most private resorts. Guided fishing and boat rentals can be arranged locally.
Beach and paddling days are the other main draw. Sandbar Lake is named for its sandbar and gently sloping sandy beach, and the park office rents canoes, kayaks, and motor boats. Ojibway Provincial Park sits on Little Vermilion Lake with a sandy beach, good swimming, and lakes that link to longer northern canoe routes including connections toward the Minnitaki chain.
Hiking is generally short and interpretive rather than long-distance. Ojibway maintains six named trails including the 1.5 km Boreal Walking Trail through jack pine and spruce, the 0.8 km Little Walking Trail, and a 6 km Lakeshore Trail with interpretive stops.

When to visit Ignace
- spring
March - May
7° / -2°C 40 mmIce-out in May; blackflies emerge late spring
- summer
June - August
23° / 12°C 85 mmPeak season; book provincial park sites 5 months ahead
- fall
September - November
8° / 0°C 50 mmCool nights, fall colour, provincial parks close late September

December - February
-9° / -17°C 28 mmDeep cold and snow; campgrounds closed
The camping window is short. Sandbar Lake Provincial Park operates from mid-May to the third week of September, and most private campgrounds follow a similar late-spring to early-fall season. Winter access is limited to snowmobile and ice-fishing use; the campgrounds themselves are closed.
July and August are peak season. Days are long, water temperatures are swimmable, and demand is highest for lakeside and electrical sites. Blackflies and mosquitoes are most aggressive from late May through late June, so campers who want quieter bugs should target mid-July onward. Summer is also the wettest part of the year, with rain possible on any given week, so pack rain gear even in mid-season.
Early and late shoulder seasons can be excellent for anglers and for travellers who want empty sites. Nights drop toward freezing by September, and by late September most provincial park services (showers, water taps) begin shutting down for the winter.
How to book campgrounds near Ignace
The two provincial parks in the area, Sandbar Lake and Ojibway, use the Ontario Parks reservation system. Reservations can be made online or by phone at 1-888-668-7275, and the booking window opens at 7:00 a.m. ET, five months in advance of the arrival date. Popular long weekends (Victoria Day, Canada Day, civic holiday, Labour Day) go fastest, especially for electrical sites.
Private campgrounds handle their own bookings directly. Davy Lake Campground and Resort in Ignace takes reservations by phone or through its own website. Abram Lake Resort and RV Park and Timber Edge Camps also book directly through their operator websites or by phone, and Timber Edge tends to focus on multi-night fishing packages rather than one-night stays.
For cross-country travellers passing through, one-night stays at the private parks along Highway 17 are usually easier to secure than provincial park sites in peak summer.
What to expect on site
Provincial park sites are generally treed, with picnic tables and fire pits at each site. Sandbar Lake has about 74 car-camping sites, roughly 37 of which are electrified, and can accommodate equipment ranging from tents to large trailers. Comfort stations with showers and laundry, water taps, a dumping station, and a potable water fill-up are all on site. Ojibway is smaller, with roughly 45 sites including about 22 electrical, plus flush toilets, showers, a laundromat, and a dump station.
Private resorts in the area typically offer serviced RV sites with water, power, and in some cases sewer, along with cabins and tent sites. Amenities vary by operator, so check ahead.
Cell coverage is limited and patchy once you leave Highway 17 and the town of Ignace. Firewood is sold on site at most campgrounds; do not transport firewood long distances due to invasive-species rules.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Ignace, ON
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Ignace, ON?
RV rental in Ignace, ON is surprisingly affordable for the wilderness experience you get. Expect to pay roughly $125 to $200 CAD per night for travel trailers, $175 to $275 for Class C motorhomes, and a bit more for larger Class A units. Because Ignace sits halfway between Thunder Bay and Kenora on the Trans-Canada Highway, many hosts list in nearby Dryden and Sioux Lookout, giving you more inventory and competitive pricing. To find a cheap RV rental Ignace travellers love, book midweek, target shoulder season (late May or September), and use the price filter on RVezy. Pro tip: bundling delivery to Davy Lake Campground often costs less than the fuel you'd spend repositioning a big rig yourself.
ignace.ca/visitors/visiting/things-to-doWhat licence do I need to rent an RV in Ignace?
Good news: your regular Class G Ontario driver's licence (or the standard non-commercial equivalent from your home province, state, or country) is all you need to rent an RV in Ignace. No special RV endorsement, air-brake ticket, or commercial licence is required for the motorhomes and trailers listed on RVezy. Approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID right inside the booking flow, so there's no paperwork to chase down. Visiting from overseas? Pick up an International Driving Permit from your home auto club before you fly into Thunder Bay or Winnipeg. That's it, you're cleared to roll out toward Sandbar Lake.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV insurance and roadside assistance included with my Ignace RV rental?
Yes, every RVezy booking for an RV rental in Ignace includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can head into Northwestern Ontario's lake country knowing help is a phone call away. The protection plan covers physical damage to the RV up to the limits of the tier you choose at checkout, and you pick the coverage level that fits your comfort, not the host. Roadside support handles tire changes, jump starts, lockouts, and towing, which matters on the long stretches of Highway 17 between Dryden and Thunder Bay. Bring a paper map as a backup since cell service can fade between towns, then relax and enjoy your Ignace RV trip knowing you're covered.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Ignace RV booking?
Cancelling is low-risk on RVezy. The cancellation policy is set by RVezy, not by individual hosts, and it includes a money-back grace period right after you book, so a quick change of plans won't leave you stranded. Refund amounts after the grace period depend on how close you are to your trip start date, and if a host cancels on you, RVezy refunds your booking or helps you rebook. You can review the exact terms during checkout and inside your RVezy dashboard. Pro tip: book early to lock in the best Ignace rigs for the walleye opener or summer festivals, knowing you have flexibility if life shifts.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an Ignace RV trip?
Absolutely, and Ignace is a dream destination for four-legged co-pilots. Filter for pet-friendly RV rental Ignace listings on RVezy to instantly see rigs that welcome dogs (and sometimes cats). Once you're here, Sandbar Lake Provincial Park allows leashed pets on most trails and has a dedicated pet beach area, and the Trans-Canada Trail through town is perfect for morning walks. Agimak Lake's West Beach is a great off-highway spot to let your dog cool off after a hot drive. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm shedding rules and any cleaning fee, and pack a tie-out and extra towels, because your pup will absolutely find the muddiest patch of boreal forest within ten minutes.
ontarioparks.ca/park/sandbarlakeCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Ignace?
Yes, RV delivery Ignace is one of the smartest ways to start your trip, especially if you're flying into Thunder Bay or Dryden Regional Airport. Many RVezy hosts will deliver and set up your motorhome or trailer directly at Davy Lake Campground, Sandbar Lake Provincial Park, or even a private cabin lane off Highway 599. They'll level the rig, hook up water, sewer, and 30-amp power, and walk you through every switch and valve before handing over the keys. Delivery fees are typically based on distance from the host's home base, so check the listing or message the host for a quote. It's the easiest possible way to enjoy a first time renting an RV in Northwestern Ontario.
ontarioparks.ca/park/sandbarlake/campingHow far can I travel from Ignace in an RV, and are there mileage limits?
You've got serious road-trip range from Ignace. Hosts set their own mileage policies on RVezy, and many offer generous daily kilometre allowances or even RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect for the wide-open Trans-Canada. From Ignace you can reach Dryden in about an hour (108 km), Thunder Bay in roughly 3.5 hours (250 km), Kenora in about 3 hours (240 km), and Winnipeg in around 6.5 hours (490 km). White Otter Castle is a short boat or floatplane hop south of town. Check the mileage tab on each listing before booking, and if you're planning a big RV road trip from Ignace toward Lake Superior, message the host to confirm a package that fits your route.
ontario.ca/page/ontario-511-traveller-informationWhere are the best campgrounds near Ignace for an RV?
The best campgrounds near Ignace mix wilderness with easy Highway 17 access. Davy Lake Campground and Resort, right off the Trans-Canada in town, offers full-hookup sites, a sandy beach, and easy in-and-out for big rigs. Sandbar Lake Provincial Park, about 15 minutes north on Highway 599, has electrical sites among towering red and white pines plus excellent walleye fishing. Agimac River Outfitters and the seasonal sites along Agimak Lake give you a quieter base for RV camping Ignace style. For a more remote feel, Turtle River - White Otter Lake Provincial Park starts at the south end of Agimak Lake. Pro tip: book Sandbar Lake early for July and August, it's the local favourite.
ontarioparks.ca/park/sandbarlakeWhen is the best time of year to rent an RV in Ignace?
Late June through early September is prime time for a motorhome rental Ignace adventure. Daytime highs sit around 22 to 25 C (low 70s to high 70s F), the lakes warm up enough for swimming at Agimak Beach, and the walleye bite is on. July brings the beloved White Otter Days festival, and August is peak blueberry picking along the 325 Road. Shoulder season in early June or mid-September offers fewer bugs, brilliant fall colour in the boreal forest, and lower rental rates. Winters here are genuinely cold (often -25 C or lower), so summer-style RV trips wind down by October. Pro tip: pack a fleece even in July, evenings on the lake can dip into single digits Celsius.

Will I be okay starting out in Ignace?
You'll do great. Ignace is one of the friendliest places in Ontario for a first time renting an RV, with wide, lightly-trafficked stretches of the Trans-Canada Highway and almost no urban congestion. Your RVezy host will give you a full walkthrough at pickup, covering driving the rig, dumping tanks, running the propane stove, and operating the awning, and they're a text away during your trip. Practice a few turns in the parking lot at the Ignace Travel Information Centre on Highway 17 before heading out. Start with a short hop, like the 15-minute drive north to Sandbar Lake, to build confidence. Within a day you'll feel like a road-trip veteran.
ontario.ca/page/driving-and-roadsWhat if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You're never on your own. Every RVezy rental in Ignace includes 24/7 roadside assistance, covering flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, fuel delivery, and towing, which is reassuring on the long, remote stretches of Highway 17 east toward Upsala or west toward Dryden. Your host is also reachable directly through the RVezy app for quick questions like how to reset the inverter, and RVezy's customer support team backs you up before, during, and after the trip. Cell coverage is solid in Ignace and at major highway pull-offs but can fade in the bush, so download offline maps and note that the OPP detachment and Mary Berglund Community Health Centre are right in town. Help is always close.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Ignace RV rental into the United States or other provinces?
Inter-provincial travel is generally welcomed, so a classic loop from Ignace west into Manitoba (Kenora to Winnipeg) or east through Thunder Bay to Sault Ste. Marie is absolutely doable. Cross-border travel into the United States, such as a run down to International Falls, Minnesota via Fort Frances, depends on the host's insurance, so message them directly before booking to confirm and to get any required documentation. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage doesn't extend there. Bring your passport, the vehicle ownership papers your host provides, and proof of insurance for any U.S. crossing, and you're set for a true cross-border RV road trip from Ignace.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage and budget should I plan for an Ignace RV trip?
Plan smart and fuel won't blow your budget. Class B campervans average around 18 to 22 MPG (about 11 to 13 L/100 km), Class C motorhomes 10 to 14 MPG (17 to 24 L/100 km), and bigger Class A rigs 7 to 10 MPG (24 to 33 L/100 km). Gas in Ignace typically runs a bit higher than southern Ontario because of the remote location, so top up in Dryden or Thunder Bay when you're passing through. For a 4-night Ignace loop covering 500 km, budget roughly $150 to $300 CAD in fuel depending on the rig. Pro tip: fill up before turning north on Highway 599, the next station toward Pickle Lake is a long way off.
www2.nrcan.gc.ca/eneene/sources/pripri/prices_bycity_e.cfmHow far in advance should I book a campground near Ignace?
Aim to book your campground as soon as your RV is reserved, especially for July and August. Ontario Parks sites at Sandbar Lake Provincial Park open for reservations five months in advance through the Ontario Parks reservation system (reservations.ontarioparks.ca), and the lakefront electrical sites go quickly for long weekends like Canada Day and the August Civic Holiday. Private campgrounds like Davy Lake Campground and Resort take direct bookings by phone or their website and tend to have more last-minute availability. Pro tip: midweek arrivals (Sunday to Wednesday) are almost always wide open, even in peak summer, making them perfect for a spontaneous campervan rental Ignace getaway up Highway 599.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/What are driving conditions like around Ignace?
Driving around Ignace is genuinely pleasant. Highway 17, the Trans-Canada, is a well-maintained two-lane road with regular passing lanes, wide shoulders, and minimal traffic compared to southern Ontario, ideal for relaxed RV cruising. Watch for moose and deer at dawn and dusk, especially between Ignace and Upsala, and slow down for the occasional logging truck on Highway 599 heading north. In summer expect smooth sailing; in late spring keep an eye out for frost heaves. Check Ontario 511 before long drives for construction updates or smoke advisories from forest fires, which can occasionally affect visibility. Pro tip: plan your driving days to end before sunset, both for wildlife safety and because Sunset Country sunsets over the lakes are absolutely worth stopping for.
511on.ca/Can I get an RV rental in Ignace in winter or during shoulder season?
Yes, winter and shoulder-season RV rental in Ignace is possible and can be an incredible northern adventure, though inventory is smaller than in summer. Some RVezy hosts list four-season rigs with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, and propane furnaces capable of handling Northwestern Ontario's serious cold (January averages around -20 C). These are popular with ice anglers heading out on Agimak or Sandbar Lake and snowmobilers riding the groomed trails that connect Ignace to Sioux Lookout and Thunder Bay. Look for listings that mention winter use, message the host about shore-power requirements, and plan to plug in at Davy Lake Campground's winter sites. Bundle up, bring extra propane, and enjoy a side of Ignace most travellers never see.
ignace.ca/visitors/visiting/things-to-doWhat amenities will I find at campgrounds near Ignace?
Local campgrounds make RV life easy. Davy Lake Campground and Resort offers full hookups (water, 30-amp electric, and sewer), a dump station, hot showers, laundry, and Wi-Fi near the office, plus a beach on Davy Lake. Sandbar Lake Provincial Park has electrical sites, vault and flush toilets, comfort stations with showers, a dump station, and potable water fill taps near the gatehouse, classic Ontario Parks setup. Smaller outfitter camps along Highway 599 usually have basic water and electric. The Ignace Travel Information Centre on Highway 17 is a handy free dump-and-fill stop while passing through. Pro tip: top up fresh water in town before heading into Turtle River - White Otter Lake Provincial Park, where services are minimal and the wilderness is the whole point.
ontarioparks.ca/park/sandbarlake/facilitiesWhat features and amenities come with RVs rented in Ignace?
Ignace-area RVs are built for comfortable lake-country living. Most listings include a queen or king bed, convertible dinette and sofa beds, a full kitchen with propane stove, fridge/freezer, microwave, and a bathroom with toilet and shower. Air conditioning and a furnace are standard on Class C motorhomes and most travel trailers, and many rigs include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor speakers, and a power awning. Seatbelts for every traveller are required by Ontario law, so confirm the sleeps-versus-seatbelts count on the listing if you're a larger group. Generators or solar panels are common for off-grid trips to spots like White Otter Lake. Filter by RV type, sleeps count, and amenities on RVezy to find your perfect Ignace match.
ontario.ca/laws/regulation/900613What add-ons and pickup options do Ignace hosts offer?
Ignace and area hosts tend to be generous with extras that make your trip easier. Common add-ons include bedding and linen packages, camp chairs and tables, a fully stocked kitchen kit, fishing gear, kayaks or canoes (perfect for Agimak Lake), generators, bike racks, and propane fire pits for evenings under the stars. Many hosts offer delivery and setup to Davy Lake Campground, Sandbar Lake Provincial Park, or a local fishing camp, with fees scaled to distance. Pickup is usually from the host's driveway in Ignace, Dryden, or Sioux Lookout. Mileage policies vary, so check the listing's daily kilometre allowance and overage rate before booking. Pro tip: ask for the fishing-gear bundle, the walleye here are legendary.
ontario.ca/page/fishingHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and secure. You pay through the RVezy platform with a credit card at the time of booking, never directly to the host, which protects both sides. A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment and is pre-authorized on your card before pickup, then released after the trip once the RV is returned in good shape. Typical deposits for Ignace-area rigs range from about $500 to $1,500 CAD depending on the RV class. To avoid any deposit issues, take time-stamped photos of the RV inside and out at pickup and drop-off, follow the host's fuel and dump-station instructions, and return on time. Pro tip: a quick walk-around with your host at return takes five minutes and almost always speeds up your deposit release.
