Campgrounds near Iroquois, Ontario
Iroquois sits on the north bank of the St. Lawrence River in Eastern Ontario, roughly midway between Cornwall and Brockville along Highway 401. The village is best known for the Iroquois Lock, part of the St. Lawrence Seaway, and it serves as a practical base for RV travellers exploring the Seaway Valley, Upper Canada Village, and the Thousand Islands region downriver.
Most nearby camping is run by the St. Lawrence Parks Commission, an Ontario government agency that operates parks and heritage sites along the northern shoreline of the St. Lawrence River, separate from Ontario Provincial Parks and Parks Canada. Upper Canada Campground and Wildwood Campground fall within this network, while Cardinal / Ottawa South KOA Holiday offers a private, full-service option just east of town.
Cross-border options add range: Coles Creek State Park and Eel Weir State Park sit on the New York side of the river, reachable via the Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge, and both are operated by New York State Parks.
Things to do near Iroquois
The St. Lawrence River drives most local activity: boating, swimming, shoreline fishing, and freighter-watching from the Iroquois Lock viewing area. The Waterfront Trail runs through town, offering flat cycling along the river toward Morrisburg and Upper Canada Village, a living-history site depicting rural 1860s Ontario.
Families staying at Upper Canada Campground can walk or bike to the Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary, home to interpretive trails and seasonal waterfowl viewing. Cardinal / Ottawa South KOA Holiday is a common overnight stop for travellers between Ottawa and the Thousand Islands.
Across the river, Coles Creek State Park offers swimming, boat rentals, and a marina on Lake St. Lawrence, while Eel Weir State Park draws anglers to the Oswegatchie River and nearby Black Lake for bass fishing.

The camping season in this region is short. Parks of the St. Lawrence campgrounds typically open in mid-May and close in October, with exact dates varying by location. Coles Creek State Park runs from mid-May through Columbus Day weekend, while Eel Weir State Park operates on a shorter schedule from roughly Memorial Day to Labor Day.
July and August are peak months: waterfront sites at Coles Creek and along the Parks of the St. Lawrence network fill quickly, especially on holiday weekends. Swimming beaches on both sides of the border are staffed by lifeguards through summer, though closures can occur without notice due to water-quality or staffing issues. Late spring and early fall bring cooler nights, fewer crowds, and generally easier reservations.
Winter shuts down public camping across both sides of the river. Snow, ice, and closed park roads make November through April unsuitable for RV travel in the immediate area.

How to book campgrounds near Iroquois
Ontario-side sites in the Parks of the St. Lawrence system are booked through the reservation portal at reservations.parks.on.ca. The agency uses a full-season launch model, opening the entire camping season at once rather than a rolling window, so campers can secure any 2026 date, including multiple trips, in a single session once bookings open. Site types include basic, waterfront, and serviced sites with electrical and multi-service hookups at select locations.
New York State Parks, including Coles Creek State Park and Eel Weir State Park, are booked through the ReserveAmerica-powered New York State Parks reservation system. Campsites can be reserved up to nine months in advance, with same-day reservations accepted until 3 p.m. Maximum stay is 14 continuous nights.
Cardinal / Ottawa South KOA Holiday is booked directly through KOA.
What to expect
Expect a river-valley landscape of open farmland, wetlands, and mixed woodlands, with campgrounds strung along the shoreline. Sites range from wooded and private to open field layouts where neighbours are visible, so check maps before booking if privacy matters.
Most Parks of the St. Lawrence campgrounds and NY state parks offer showers, flush toilets, and playgrounds. Hookup availability varies: many Parks of the St. Lawrence sites are serviced, Coles Creek offers electric on most RV sites and has a dump station, while Eel Weir has no electrical hookups or dump station and functions as dry camping for tents and small RVs. Firewood restrictions apply on both sides of the border, so buy local rather than transporting wood.
Bring bug protection for late-spring blackflies and summer mosquitoes, tick precautions for wooded and grassy areas, and a rain plan; thunderstorms can move through quickly in summer.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Iroquois, ON
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Iroquois, Ontario?
RV rental in Iroquois is an affordable way to explore the St. Lawrence Seaway region. On RVezy, travel trailers near Iroquois typically range from about $100 to $175 CAD per night, while motorhomes generally run $200 to $300 CAD per night, and many hosts offer weekly or monthly discounts. To find a cheap RV rental in Iroquois, try booking mid-week or during shoulder season in late May or September, and use the price filter to sort listings. Since Iroquois is a small village, browsing nearby Brockville, Cornwall and Ottawa expands your options and often unlocks delivery-included deals.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Iroquois,OntarioWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Iroquois, ON?
Good news for first-time renters: a regular Ontario G-class driver's licence (or its equivalent from your home province, state or country) is all you need to rent an RV in Iroquois. No special RV licence, air-brake endorsement or commercial licence is required for the Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, and travel trailers listed on RVezy. Approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID securely through the platform during booking. Visiting from outside Canada? Bring your home licence plus an International Driving Permit to be safe, then you're cleared to cruise Highway 401 and County Road 2 along the Seaway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV rental in Iroquois covered by protection and roadside assistance?
Yes, and this is one of the best reasons to book through RVezy. Every RV rental in Iroquois booking includes an RVezy renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you're covered for eligible damage and never stranded if a tire blows on the 401 or the battery dies near Iroquois Beach. During checkout you choose the protection level that fits your trip (you pick this, not the host), giving you peace of mind without buying separate insurance. Save the RVezy support number to your phone before you leave and you'll roll into your Ontario RV trip feeling fully backed up.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Iroquois RV trip plans change?
You can book with confidence: RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not the host), and every reservation includes a grace-period window shortly after booking where you can cancel for a full refund. After that, your refund depends on how far out you cancel relative to the trip start date. Cancellation terms are presented during checkout, and RVezy support can walk you through them anytime. Locking in your RV rental in Iroquois early means you get the best Seaway-view rigs while keeping flexibility on your side.
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 Iroquois?
Yes, your dog will love this trip. Many hosts offer a pet-friendly RV rental in Iroquois, just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see them instantly. Once you arrive, Parks of the St. Lawrence campgrounds (including Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary Campground and Riverside-Cedar) welcome leashed pets, though dogs aren't permitted on swimming beaches. The waterfront trail through the Bird Sanctuary is a fantastic on-leash walk with shipping freighters drifting by. Message your host before booking to confirm pet details and any cleaning expectations.
stlawrenceparks.com/to-do/camping/Can the RV be delivered to my campground in Iroquois?
Yes, RV delivery in Iroquois is one of the easiest ways to start your trip, especially if you've never towed a trailer. Many RVezy hosts in the area will drive the RV directly to Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary Campground, Riverside-Cedar Campground, Farran Park, or a private property in South Dundas, then set it up, level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system. Filter listings by Delivery and message the host with your campground address to confirm the fee, which usually scales with distance. Then just show up, unpack, and enjoy the St. Lawrence sunset.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Iroquois,OntarioHow far can I drive on an RV road trip from Iroquois?
Iroquois is a perfect launch point for an RV road trip. Ottawa is about 90 km north (around 1 hour up Highway 416), Montreal is roughly 165 km east (under 2 hours), Kingston and the Thousand Islands are about 110 km west, and Toronto is roughly 450 km via the 401, a comfortable day's drive. Algonquin Provincial Park is around 400 km northwest if you want classic Canadian Shield scenery. Most hosts include a daily mileage allowance and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect for longer loops, so filter and message ahead.
ontario.ca/page/driving-and-roadsWhat are the best campgrounds near Iroquois, ON for RV camping?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping in Iroquois. The Parks of the St. Lawrence system runs several nearby waterfront campgrounds: Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary Campground (74 sites with up to 50-amp service, just east of Iroquois near Ingleside), Riverside-Cedar Campground, Farran Park Campground, and Mille Roches along the Long Sault Parkway. Cardinal/Ottawa South KOA Holiday is 15 minutes west with full hookups and family amenities, and Upper Canada Campground sits right next to Upper Canada Village. Pro tip: most sites along the river fill up fast for July and August, so book as soon as reservations open in early spring.
stlawrenceparks.com/to-do/camping/bird-sanctuary-campground/When is the best time of year for an Iroquois RV trip?
The sweet spot for an Iroquois RV trip is late May through early October, when Parks of the St. Lawrence campgrounds are open and the Seaway is buzzing with freighters. July is the warmest month with daytime highs around 26 to 28 degrees Celsius, perfect for Iroquois Beach swims, while June and September deliver pleasant 20 to 24 degree days, fewer bugs, and easier reservations. Fall colours peak in late September and early October along the river. Winters are cold and snowy, so most hosts shut down October to April. Book the last weekend of September for warm days, cool nights, and golden maples reflecting off the St. Lawrence.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/I've never driven an RV. Will I be okay renting one in Iroquois?
You're going to do great, and you won't be alone figuring it out. Every RVezy host gives you a full walkthrough at pickup covering driving, leveling, tanks, propane, awning, and slide-outs, plus their phone number for the whole trip. First time renting an RV around Iroquois is genuinely easy: roads are flat, traffic on County Road 2 and Highway 401 is light, and parking lots at places like the Iroquois Lock viewing area and Iroquois Plaza easily fit larger rigs. Start with a Class C motorhome or smaller travel trailer for your first booking, they drive almost like a big van.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if my RV breaks down during my trip near Iroquois?
Take a breath, you're covered. Every RVezy rental includes 24/7 roadside assistance built into the protection plan, so a flat tire on Highway 401, a dead battery near Upper Canada Village, or a propane issue at the campground is one phone call away from help. RVezy's support team and your host are both reachable from inside the app, and tow operators serve the South Dundas, Brockville, and Cornwall corridor regularly thanks to the busy 401 trade route. Snap photos of the RV and note the nearest exit before you call so help reaches you faster.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Iroquois rental across the border into the US or Quebec?
Cross-border road trips are on the table from Iroquois, you're about 20 minutes from the Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge and under 2 hours to Montreal. Travel between Canada and the US is allowed on many RVezy rentals, but it depends on the host's insurance, so message them before booking to confirm and ask about a permission letter for the border. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental. Quebec trips inside Canada are typically fine. Bring your passport, vehicle registration, and host's written authorization, and you'll breeze through CBSA or US Customs.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel economy and gas budget should I plan for?
Budgeting for fuel in eastern Ontario is straightforward. Class C motorhomes around Iroquois typically get 18 to 22 L/100 km, Class B campervans do better at roughly 12 to 15 L/100 km, and most tow vehicles pulling travel trailers land around 15 to 18 L/100 km. Gas in the Iroquois and Morrisburg area generally tracks Ontario averages, with stations on County Road 2, in Cardinal, and at the Highway 401 service centres at Mallorytown and Ingleside. Fill up in Iroquois or Cardinal before heading toward Ottawa or Kingston, prices in small Seaway towns are often a few cents cheaper than the big-city stations.
ontario.ca/page/gasoline-pricesHow far in advance should I book a campground near Iroquois?
For July and August along the St. Lawrence, book as early as you can, ideally as soon as Parks of the St. Lawrence opens reservations in early March, since waterfront sites at Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary and Long Sault Parkway campgrounds sell out within days. Reservations are made through stlawrenceparks.com or by phone. For June and September you can usually grab great sites 4–6 weeks ahead, and shoulder-season weekdays are often available last minute. Pro tip: if Saturday nights are full, book Sunday–Thursday for the same scenery, lower rates, and quieter campgrounds, ideal for a family RV trip Iroquois style.
stlawrenceparks.com/to-do/camping/What are local driving conditions like around Iroquois?
Driving an RV around Iroquois is about as relaxed as Ontario gets. Highway 401 runs just north of town with wide lanes and gentle grades, County Road 2 hugs the river with scenic, low-speed curves, and the village streets are flat and easy to navigate. Watch for occasional farm equipment on rural roads, deer at dawn and dusk near the Bird Sanctuary, and freight-truck traffic on the 401, especially around Cornwall and Brockville. Winter brings snow and ice from December through March, so most RV trips happen May through October. Use the Iroquois Lock viewpoint as a calm pull-off if you need a break, free parking and big-rig friendly.
511on.ca/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Iroquois?
Parks of the St. Lawrence campgrounds near Iroquois are well-equipped for RVs. Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary offers basic, 15-amp, 30-amp, and 50-amp serviced sites, plus potable water taps, modern washrooms with showers, and a dump station on-site. Riverside-Cedar, Farran Park, and Mille Roches campgrounds all have dump stations and water fill-ups too, and Cardinal KOA adds full hookups, Wi-Fi, and a pool. The Iroquois Lock waterfront area has free day-use parking and washrooms. Pro tip: bring a 25-foot drinking-water hose and a 30-to-50 amp adapter, this covers virtually every site between Iroquois, Ingleside, and Long Sault.
canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/migratory-bird-sanctuaries/locations/upper-canada.htmlWhat's included inside a typical RVezy motorhome rental in Iroquois?
Expect a fully-equipped home on wheels. A typical motorhome rental in Iroquois on RVezy sleeps 4 to 7 people in real beds, includes a kitchen with fridge, stovetop, microwave, and sink, a bathroom with shower and toilet, climate control with furnace and AC, dinette seating with seatbelts for travel, and most have a TV. Campervan rental Iroquois options are smaller and cozier, perfect for couples exploring the Seaway. Many rigs come with a generator, solar setup, or Bluetooth audio, and some include outdoor speakers and awnings. Check the listing's amenities list for items like linens and kitchen kits, otherwise add them as paid extras during booking.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Iroquois,OntarioWhat add-ons and pickup options can I choose when booking?
Hosts in Iroquois typically offer a great menu of add-ons to customize your trip. Common extras include delivery and setup (great if you're staying at the Bird Sanctuary Campground), linen and kitchen packages, BBQs, bike racks, generators, portable toilets for travel trailers, and even kayaks or tow packages. Pickup is usually at the host's home in or near Iroquois, Morrisburg, or Cardinal, and they'll walk you through everything for 30 to 60 minutes. Mileage policies vary by listing, ranging from a daily allowance to RV rental with unlimited mileage. Bundle delivery plus a linen pack to make the whole experience truly turnkey.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Iroquois,OntarioHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment on RVezy is simple and secure: you pay the full booking total through the platform when you book (never directly to the host), using a major credit card. A refundable security deposit is held separately before the trip starts, the amount is shown clearly on the listing, and it's released after a smooth return. To avoid issues, do the walkaround inspection with the host at pickup and drop-off, photograph the RV inside and out, and return it with the same fuel and propane levels. Keep receipts from your Iroquois RV trip in case you need to settle small charges quickly.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhat are the must-do attractions and local insider tips near Iroquois?
Iroquois sits right on the St. Lawrence Seaway, so head to the Iroquois Lock viewing area to watch ocean freighters get raised and lowered, it's free, big-rig friendly, and locals follow the daily ship schedule online. Don't miss Iroquois Beach for swimming, the Carman House Museum (an 1815 limestone cottage), and Upper Canada Village 15 minutes east for a living 1860s town. Time your visit for summer festivals in Morrisburg or grab fresh produce and pies at Dentz Orchards just outside Iroquois, a long-running family farm.
