Camping near North Bay, Ontario
North Bay sits on the northeast shore of Lake Nipissing in Ontario's Near North, roughly three and a half hours north of Toronto. The city works as a practical base for RV renters heading into Northeastern Ontario, with a mix of private campgrounds inside city limits and provincial parks within about an hour's drive. Lake Nipissing is the third largest lake located entirely in Ontario, measuring roughly 65 kilometres east to west and 25 kilometres north to south, with a shallow sandy basin that supports beaches, boating, and walleye fishing.
Close-in options such as Champlain Tent Trailer and RV Park and Fairview Park Camping & Marina put RVers on or near the waterfront with full hookups, while Glenrock Cottages and Trailer Park and Camp Conewango Campground offer quieter rural stays.
For a full provincial-park experience, Restoule Provincial Park sits southwest of the city between Restoule Lake and Stormy Lake, extending along the Restoule River toward the French River. It is classified as a Natural Environment park and is a popular choice for families based near North Bay.
Things to do around North Bay
The North Bay Waterfront on Lake Nipissing anchors most day trips, with supervised swimming at Shabogesic Beach, Birchaven Cove, and Olmsted Beach on Trout Lake, plus the Family of Rotary's Splash Pad for younger kids. The Chief Commanda II runs sightseeing cruises on Lake Nipissing, including a shorter Manitou Islands trip that suits families.
Walkers and cyclists use the Kate Pace Way, a paved multi-use trail that begins near the Waterfront and follows the lake edge, linking to the Kinsmen Trail along Chippewa Creek and the Cranberry Marsh Trails. Laurier Woods Conservation Area sits inside the city and offers short wooded trails.
At Restoule Provincial Park, families hike a marked trail to a 30-metre fire tower overlooking Stormy Lake, and can rent bikes at the Visitor Centre for use on park trails and roads.

The main RV season runs from mid-May through mid-October. Restoule Provincial Park operates on a defined summer schedule and most private parks around North Bay follow a similar seasonal window. Winters are freezing and snowy, and private campgrounds in the area typically close for the cold months.
July and August are the busiest weeks, with warm days averaging in the low to mid-20s Celsius and long daylight hours suited to swimming and paddling on Lake Nipissing. Bugs, especially blackflies, peak in late spring and early summer, so screened awnings help.
September shifts quickly. After Labour Day the parks are noticeably quieter, with cooler nights and thinner crowds, and September is the wettest month of the year in North Bay on the climate record. Fall colour is a draw through late September and early October before parks close for the season.

Julie and Tim were amazing to deal with. The trailer was awesome. So much sleeping room and great amenities. Julie and Tim were both super accomadating with delivery time and they made our wedding weekend a much more comfortable stay with their trailer. Everything was in great working condition and they set it all up for us without us needing to help. I would highly recommend anyone to rent this trailer. Our friends loved it as well.

How to book a campground near North Bay
For provincial parks, Ontario Parks handles all reservations through its central system. Sites at Restoule Provincial Park can be booked online up to five months before the arrival date, with the reservation window opening at 7:00 a.m. ET, or by phone at 1-888-ONT-PARK. Booking online lets travellers view campground maps and site photos before choosing.
Seasonal campsites at Restoule are handled separately through an application process outside the standard nightly reservation window. Any unreserved seasonal sites convert to regular reservable sites after that window.
Private campgrounds around North Bay, including Champlain Tent Trailer and RV Park, Fairview Park Camping & Marina, Camp Conewango Campground, and Glenrock Cottages and Trailer Park, book directly through the operator by phone or their own website. Long weekends fill first, so booking several weeks ahead is recommended for July and August stays.
What to expect on the ground
Sites in the North Bay area range from full-service pull-throughs with water, sewer, and Wi-Fi at private parks to non-electrical sites at Restoule Provincial Park. Champlain Tent Trailer and RV Park sits inside city limits near Champlain Municipal Park where the Lavase River meets Lake Nipissing, with a nearby beach, playground, boat launch, and dog park.
Restoule offers three camping areas: Bells Point, Putts Point, and Kettle Point. Putts Point and Bells Point are non-electrical, while Kettle Point has the park's 97 electrical sites. Comfort stations with flush toilets, showers, and laundry are located in the Putts Point and Kettle Point campgrounds. Restoule has one sanitation station on the main road between the gatehouse and the campgrounds, with rinse water available.
Black bears are present across the region, so use bear-resistant storage and keep food inside the RV. Generator use at Restoule is limited under park rules, so plan for solar or propane on non-electric sites.
