Loyalist camping overview
Loyalist Township sits on the north shore of Lake Ontario between Kingston and Napanee, putting RV renters within a short drive of the Bay of Quinte, the Thousand Islands, and the Rideau waterway. The area blends private RV resorts with provincial parks, so travellers can choose between full-hookup family campgrounds and quieter lakeside sites.
Closest to the township, 1000 Islands / Kingston KOA Holiday and Rideau Acres Campground serve as base camps for exploring downtown Kingston, Fort Henry, and the St. Lawrence River. Loughborough Lake Holiday Park Campground and Desert Lake Family Resort sit north of the city on quieter inland lakes, better suited to swimming, fishing, and paddling. Sun Retreats Hay Bay lies west toward Napanee, close to the Glenora Ferry and Prince Edward County wine country.
The region draws a strong summer crowd from Ontario, Quebec, and the northeastern United States, so RV renters should treat July and August weekends as peak booking periods.
Things to do near Loyalist
Water activities dominate the region. RV renters staying at Loughborough Lake Holiday Park Campground or Desert Lake Family Resort have direct access to swimming, kayaking, and bass and pike fishing on quiet inland lakes. Sites closer to Kingston, such as 1000 Islands / Kingston KOA Holiday and Rideau Acres Campground, put boat tours of the Thousand Islands and the Rideau Canal within easy reach.
Land-based options include Fort Henry National Historic Site, the Kingston waterfront, and the shops and wineries of Prince Edward County via the Glenora Ferry. Families staying at Sun Retreats Hay Bay are well positioned for a day trip to Sandbanks Provincial Park. North of Kingston, Frontenac Provincial Park offers day-use hiking trails on the Canadian Shield.

The practical RV camping season around Loyalist runs from mid-May through mid-October. Most private parks and provincial campgrounds open on or near Victoria Day weekend and close after Thanksgiving weekend, matching the local frost-free window that averages from late April to early October.
July and August are the busiest months, with warm lake temperatures, long daylight hours, and the highest reservation demand. Sites at popular parks often sell out weeks or months ahead for weekends and statutory holidays. June is a strong shoulder-season option for families who can travel before school ends, offering warm days without peak crowds.
September delivers cooler nights, generally settled weather, and colour along the Thousand Islands Parkway, though some private campgrounds begin closing services. Winter camping is limited: most private parks close entirely, while Frontenac Provincial Park remains open year-round for backcountry users with appropriate gear.

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.

How to book campgrounds near Loyalist
Provincial parks in the region, including Frontenac and Charleston Lake, use the Ontario Parks reservation system. Sites can be booked up to five months in advance of the arrival date, with new inventory released daily at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Reservations can be made online at reservations.ontarioparks.ca or by calling 1-888-ONT-PARK, and popular summer weekends often sell out within minutes of opening.
Private campgrounds such as 1000 Islands / Kingston KOA Holiday, Rideau Acres Campground, Loughborough Lake Holiday Park Campground, Sun Retreats Hay Bay, and Desert Lake Family Resort each run their own reservation systems through their own websites. For July and August weekends, RV renters should aim to book several months out and confirm site length and hookup type before finalizing.
What to expect on-site
Private RV resorts in the Loyalist area typically offer serviced sites with water, electric, and sewer, along with laundry, showers, pools, and playgrounds. Larger parks like 1000 Islands / Kingston KOA Holiday and Rideau Acres Campground cater to families with organized activities and pull-through sites suited to bigger rigs.
Provincial parks nearby lean toward electric-only or unserviced sites, so RV renters should plan for tank management and dump-station stops. Ontario regulations restrict moving firewood long distances to limit the spread of invasive pests such as emerald ash borer, so purchase firewood locally at the campground gatehouse.
Cell coverage is generally strong across the Loyalist and Kingston area, though it thins out on the lakes north of Highway 401. Black flies and mosquitoes peak in late May and June, so RV renters should pack repellent and screens.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Loyalist, ON
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Loyalist, ON?
An RV rental in Loyalist is one of the most affordable ways to explore the Bay of Quinte and Thousand Islands region. Motorhomes near Loyalist Township average around $250 CAD per night, while travel trailers and other towable RVs come in closer to $150 CAD per night, with many hosts offering 10 to 20 percent off weekly and monthly bookings. For a cheap RV rental in Loyalist, look at travel trailers and smaller Class C motorhomes, and book mid-week stays in June or September to avoid peak July and August pricing. Pair your booking with a campsite at the UEL Heritage Centre and Park in Adolphustown for a classic Loyalist Parkway road trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Loyalist,OntarioDo I need a special licence to rent an RV in Loyalist Township?
A standard Ontario Class G driver's licence (or your equivalent provincial or state licence) is all you need to rent and drive almost every RV on RVezy in Loyalist, including Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, and travel trailers towed behind a regular pickup. No commercial licence, air brake endorsement, or RV-specific test is required. Approved drivers are generally required to be at least 25 years old, and ID is verified securely through the RVezy platform when you book. Visiting from outside Canada? Bring your home licence, and an International Driving Permit if your licence is not in English or French. Verification is quick, so you can focus on planning your drive down the Loyalist Parkway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection and roadside support is included with my Loyalist RV rental?
You're covered from the moment you hit the road. Every RV rental in Loyalist booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so a flat tire on Highway 33 or a dead battery at the Millhaven ferry dock is a phone call, not a crisis. The protection plan covers physical damage to the RV during your trip, and you choose the coverage level that fits you during checkout (hosts don't set this, you do). Combined with the host's pickup walkthrough, it gives you real peace of mind on every kilometre of your Loyalist Township RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if my plans change? Can I cancel my Loyalist RV booking?
Yes, and booking is lower risk than most people expect. RVezy (not individual hosts) sets the cancellation policy for every rental, so terms are consistent across listings and reviewed at checkout. If life throws you a curveball, weather, work, or family, you'll find clear options in your RVezy dashboard, and the support team is available before, during, and after your trip. Eastern Ontario weather can shift quickly along Lake Ontario, so booking early and reviewing the cancellation details before you confirm is the smart move. Once that's done, you can focus on the fun part: planning stops at MacKinnon Brothers Brewing and the Wilton Cheese Factory.
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 Loyalist?
Yes, your pup is welcome on the adventure. Many hosts offer a pet-friendly RV rental in Loyalist, and you can filter listings by the Pet-Friendly tag to see them instantly on RVezy. Once you've found a match, message the host to confirm any small pet fee or shedding-clean expectation. Loyalist Township is a great spot for dog owners: leashed dogs are welcome on the Waterfront Trail along the Loyalist Parkway, at Rotary Park in Bath, and at most sites in the UEL Heritage Centre and Park campground. Tip: take the Amherst Island ferry in the cool morning so your dog can comfortably explore the shoreline and famous dry stone walls.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Loyalist,OntarioCan the RV be delivered to my campsite or driveway in Loyalist?
Yes, and it's one of the best ways to start a stress-free trip. Many RVezy hosts offer RV delivery in Loyalist Township and the surrounding Kingston and Napanee area, meaning the host drives the rig to your campsite, levels it, hooks up water and power, and walks you through every system before handing over the keys. Popular drop-off spots include the UEL Heritage Centre and Park in Adolphustown, Rideau Acres just east in Kingston, and private driveways throughout Bath and Amherstview. Filter listings by Delivery to find these hosts, and check each listing for the delivery fee. It's a great option if it's your first time renting an RV.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Loyalist,OntarioHow far can I drive on a Loyalist RV trip, and is unlimited mileage available?
You've got plenty of road ahead of you. Many hosts in Loyalist Township include a generous daily kilometre allowance (often around 200 km per day), and some offer an RV rental with unlimited mileage as an upgrade, which is ideal for a bigger eastern Ontario loop. Each listing spells out its mileage policy clearly before you book, and additional kilometres are typically modest per-km fees set by the host. From Loyalist Township you can reach Sandbanks Provincial Park in about 1 hour via the Glenora Ferry, Ottawa in around 2.5 hours, Toronto in roughly 2.5 to 3 hours, and Algonquin Park's southern gate in about 3 hours, all easily within a week-long mileage budget.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Loyalist,OntarioWhere are the best campgrounds near Loyalist, ON?
You're spoiled for choice within a 45-minute drive. The best campgrounds near Loyalist Township include the UEL Heritage Centre and Park in Adolphustown on the Bay of Quinte with serviced and unserviced sites, Hay Bay Campground near Napanee with fishing access on the Bay of Quinte, Rideau Acres just east in Kingston with full-service sites and family amenities, Cosmo Camping near Gananoque, and the 1000 Islands / Ivy Lea KOA Holiday for waterfront sites along the St. Lawrence. Tip: the UEL Heritage Centre and Park has a dump station for registered campers, which makes RV camping in Loyalist easy.
uelhcp.org/When is the best time to plan an RV trip from Loyalist Township?
Late May through early October is prime time, with a sweet spot in June and September. Loyalist Township sits on Lake Ontario, so summers are warm (average July and August highs around 25 to 27 C) with lake-cooled evenings perfect for campfires. The shoulder months bring fewer bugs, smaller crowds, and beautiful fall colour along the Loyalist Parkway in late September and early October. Most local campgrounds, including the UEL Heritage Centre and Park, run from Victoria Day weekend through Thanksgiving weekend. Winter RV rentals are limited but possible, just confirm with the host that the rig has heated tanks and a working furnace before you book.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/index_e.htmlI've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay in Loyalist?
You're going to do great, and Loyalist Township is one of the gentlest places in Ontario to learn. Every RVezy host gives a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering propane, water, slides, levelling, and dump procedures, and you can message them throughout your trip with questions. The roads here are flat, well-marked, and lightly trafficked outside Kingston, with the scenic two-lane Loyalist Parkway (Highway 33) ideal for first-time renters. Start with a smaller Class C motorhome or a campervan rental in Loyalist for easier manoeuvring, and consider host delivery so your first drive is from the campground, not a host's driveway. Within an hour you'll feel right at home behind the wheel.
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 rental includes 24/7 roadside assistance through the renter protection plan, so whether you've got a flat on Highway 401, a generator hiccup at the UEL Heritage Centre and Park, or a slide-out that's being stubborn, help is one call away. Your host is also a direct message away through the RVezy app and usually responds within minutes, since they know their RV better than anyone. RVezy support is available before, during, and after your trip. Loyalist Township is within easy reach of service centres in Kingston and Napanee, so even the rare bigger fix is rarely far from a solution.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Loyalist RV rental across the border to the US?
Cross-border trips are sometimes possible, but you need to clear it with your host first. Some RVezy hosts in Loyalist allow US travel (the Thousand Islands Bridge to New York is about 45 minutes east), while others keep their rigs Canada-only due to insurance terms. Message the host directly from the listing page before booking to confirm. Travel to Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental. If approved for a US trip, bring your passport, a vehicle authorization letter from the host, and proof of insurance at the border. Popular US routes include Watertown and the Adirondacks, but many renters find an RV road trip from Loyalist into Prince Edward County or Ottawa more than satisfies the wanderlust.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel economy and gas budget should I plan for?
Easy to budget for. Class B campervans typically return roughly 18 to 22 mpg (around 11 to 13 L/100km), Class C motorhomes average 10 to 14 mpg (around 17 to 24 L/100km), and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle. Gas in Loyalist Township and Kingston typically runs around $1.45 to $1.70 CAD per litre, with competitive fill-ups along County Road 4 in Odessa and at the 401 ONroute service centres. For a 5-day, 600 km Loyalist RV trip in a Class C, budget roughly $200 to $300 CAD in fuel. Tip: there are no gas stations on Amherst Island, so top up in Bath or Millhaven before you board the ferry.
www2.nrcan.gc.ca/eneene/sources/pripri/prices_bycity_e.cfmHow far in advance should I book a campground near Loyalist?
Earlier is better, but you've got options. Ontario Parks reservations open five months in advance through the Ontario Parks reservation system, and busy sites at nearby parks like Sandbanks and Charleston Lake fill within minutes for July and August long weekends. For private campgrounds near Loyalist Township, like the UEL Heritage Centre and Park, Hay Bay Campground, and Rideau Acres, aim to book 2 to 3 months ahead for summer weekends and 2 to 4 weeks ahead for shoulder season. Mid-week stays often have same-week availability even in July. Insider tip: the UEL Heritage Centre and Park often has openings when bigger parks are full, and it's right on the Bay of Quinte.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/What are the local driving conditions like in Loyalist Township?
Loyalist Township is one of the easiest places in Ontario to drive an RV. Highway 401 runs along the north edge of the township with wide lanes and well-spaced ONroute service centres, while Highway 33 (the Loyalist Parkway) is a flat, scenic two-lane road hugging Lake Ontario with light traffic. There are no mountain passes, tunnels, or low bridges to worry about on the main routes. Watch for Glenora Ferry wait times on summer weekends, and note that the Amherst Island ferry from Millhaven has vehicle size limits, so larger Class A motorhomes should park in Millhaven and walk on. Winter can bring lake-effect snow, so most renters stick to May through October.
511on.ca/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Loyalist?
You'll find everything you need within easy reach. Campgrounds near Loyalist Township typically offer 15/30/50-amp electrical hookups, potable water fills, dump stations, hot showers, laundry, and Wi-Fi at the office. The UEL Heritage Centre and Park has a dump station for registered campers, plus a sandy Bay of Quinte beach and gift shop. Rideau Acres in Kingston adds a pool, mini-golf, and a camp store. Note that Ontario regulations restrict moving firewood to help prevent the spread of invasive species like the emerald ash borer, so plan to buy bundles on-site. Most parks accept cash and card.
ontario.ca/page/firewood-rules-and-regulationsWhat's actually inside the RVs available in Loyalist Township?
More comfort than you'd expect. Most RVs available for rent in Loyalist Township come fully equipped: a queen or king bed, sleeping for 4 to 8 people, a kitchen with fridge, freezer, propane stove, microwave, and sink, a bathroom with shower and toilet, air conditioning, a furnace, and dining seating that often converts to extra sleeping. Many Class C motorhome rentals in Loyalist also include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor speakers, and a generator for off-grid stays. Wi-Fi varies, but cellular coverage along Highway 33 and around Kingston is strong, so a phone hotspot usually does the trick. Each listing shows exact amenities and seatbelt count, and hosts walk you through every feature at pickup.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Loyalist,OntarioWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
You can really customize your rental. Popular add-ons from Loyalist hosts include bedding and linen packages, kitchen kits, camping chairs and outdoor mats, BBQs with propane, bike racks, generators, and even kayaks or SUPs, perfect for paddling out from Bath's Loyalist Cove Marina. Delivery and setup is the biggest game-changer: many hosts will bring the RV to your campsite at the UEL Heritage Centre and Park, Rideau Acres, or even your driveway in Amherstview. Standard pickup is at the host's location with a 30 to 60 minute walkthrough. Each listing shows mileage allowance, included generator hours, and any cleaning or dump fees upfront so there are no surprises.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Loyalist,OntarioHow do payments and the security deposit work on an RVezy rental?
Payment is simple and secure. When you book an RV rental in Loyalist Township, you pay the rental total through the RVezy platform using a credit card, no cash changes hands with the host. A refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card before pickup and released after the trip once the host confirms the rig was returned in good shape, on time, with the agreed tank levels and kilometres. The deposit is separate from the booking payment. To avoid issues, take date-stamped photos of the interior, exterior, and odometer at pickup and return, refill propane and fuel as agreed, and message any concerns through the RVezy app so everything is documented.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhat are the best road trip destinations from Loyalist Township?
You're sitting on one of Ontario's best RV road trip launch pads. Top routes from Loyalist Township include Prince Edward County wineries and Sandbanks Provincial Park via the free Glenora Ferry (about 1 hour), the Thousand Islands and Gananoque boat cruises (about 45 minutes east), Ottawa and Parliament Hill (around 2.5 hours northeast), Algonquin Provincial Park's southern access at Mew Lake (about 3 hours north), and Toronto via the 401 (around 2.5 to 3 hours west). Don't skip the local gems: a short ferry from Millhaven gets you to Amherst Island, known for owl watching at Owl Woods and a remarkable concentration of Irish-style dry stone walls. It's a family RV trip in Loyalist no one back home will forget.
