Campgrounds near Norwood, Ontario
Norwood sits in Peterborough County in the Kawarthas and Northumberland tourism region of southeastern Ontario, roughly midway between Peterborough and the Trent River town of Campbellford. The village is a practical base for RV travellers exploring the Trent-Severn Waterway, Rice Lake, and the rolling farmland and drumlins east of the Kawartha Lakes.
Private parks in the immediate area include Stoney Point Trailer Park on the Trent River near Hastings and Birdsall Beach Resort on Rice Lake, both oriented toward seasonal and family camping with water access. Pilgrims Rest offers a smaller, quieter option nearby.
For provincial land, Ferris Provincial Park sits just south in southeastern Ontario and is best known for its pedestrian suspension bridge overlooking the Trent River Gorge and Ranney Falls. Conservation authority land at Crowe Bridge Conservation Area, east near Marmora on the Crowe River, rounds out the local mix with tent and trailer sites and a swimming area. Together these options cover full-service RV parks, provincial camping, and rustic conservation-area stays within a short drive of Norwood.
Things to do around Norwood
The Trent River and Rice Lake anchor most outdoor activity. Boat launches, fishing, and paddling along the Trent-Severn Waterway are easily reached from Stoney Point Trailer Park and Birdsall Beach Resort. Anglers along the Trent River may catch smallmouth bass, northern pike, and walleye, subject to Ontario fishing regulations. Rice Lake beaches and swimming are steps from the water at the lakeside parks.
At Ferris Provincial Park, the Ranney Gorge Suspension Bridge, Ontario's first 300-foot-long suspension bridge, sits over 30 feet high above the Ranney Gorge and is located on the Trans Canada Trail. The park includes about 10 km of trails through forested drumlins and river overlooks.
Day trips include Warsaw Caves Conservation Area for caving and swimming, the chocolate factory outlet in Campbellford, Westben Theatre concerts, and the Petroglyphs Provincial Park rock carvings north of Peterborough.

Ontario Parks operates Ferris Provincial Park on a seasonal schedule, with the campground open roughly from early May through mid-October. During the colder months, Ferris Provincial Park remains open for winter day use, offering opportunities for snowshoeing and winter hiking on groomed and ungroomed trails, but the campground loops, water taps, and sanitation station close outside the operating season. Most private RV parks and conservation-area campgrounds in the region follow a similar May-to-October pattern.
July and August bring the busiest weeks, warm lake temperatures, and the highest demand for waterfront sites. Weekends around Victoria Day, Canada Day, the August civic holiday, and Labour Day sell out earliest. Black flies peak in late May and early June; mosquitoes ease as summer dries out.
September offers cooler nights, fewer bugs, and strong fall colour through the hardwood forests along the Trent River, usually peaking in the first two weeks of October. By late October, most sites are winterized and closed.

How to book
Ferris Provincial Park is reserved through the Ontario Parks reservation system at reservations.ontarioparks.ca or by phone. Camping reservations are accepted up to five months in advance of the arrival date, and advance daily vehicle permits can be purchased up to 5 days before a visit starting at 7:00 a.m. ET. Popular summer weekends often book out as soon as the five-month window opens.
Crowe Bridge Conservation Area is booked directly through Crowe Valley Conservation Authority. Stoney Point Trailer Park, Birdsall Beach Resort, and Pilgrims Rest handle bookings directly through the operator by phone or website, and some sites at these parks are held for seasonal renters rather than nightly stays. Confirm rig length, hookup type, and check-in windows when reserving, especially for larger travel trailers and Class A motorhomes.
What to expect on-site
Ferris offers car camping on over 150 sites in two campground loops, Valleyview and Bedrock, including about 40 electrical sites. There are no water or sewer hookups at individual sites; the dump station and potable water are located close to the gatehouse, so expect queues near check-out on busy weekends. The only showers in the park are located at the comfort station in the Valleyview campground.
Private parks such as Stoney Point Trailer Park and Birdsall Beach Resort lean more toward serviced sites, with power, water, laundry, showers, and recreation amenities like playgrounds, boat ramps, and beach access. Cellular coverage across the area is generally reliable on major Canadian carriers.
There are no swimming facilities at Ferris, and the park advises against swimming in the river due to dangerously strong and unpredictable currents caused when water is released from an upstream dam, so plan lake days at Rice Lake, Crowe Bridge, or Warsaw Caves. Pets are welcome throughout the park and must be kept on a leash.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Norwood, ON
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Norwood, Ontario?
RV rental in Norwood is generally more affordable than pickups in Toronto or Ottawa. Travel trailers typically start around $100 to $175 CAD per night, Class C motorhomes range from $200 to $300 CAD, and larger Class A motorhomes can run $300 to $450 CAD. Campervans land in the middle at about $150 to $225 CAD. To find a cheap RV rental Norwood travellers love, book midweek, travel in May or September shoulder season, and look for Instant Book listings. Hosts in nearby Peterborough and Havelock often have lower nightly rates than those closer to the GTA, and many include kitchen kits or outdoor gear at no extra cost.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Norwood%2C%20OntarioWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Norwood?
Your regular Ontario Class G driver's license (or equivalent from your home province, state, or country) is all you need for the vast majority of RVs on RVezy, including Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, travel trailers, and most Class A motorhomes under 11,000 kg. No special RV license or commercial license is required in Ontario. Approved drivers must generally be 25 or older, and RVezy verifies your ID right through the platform during checkout, so there's no paperwork to chase down. Visiting from outside Canada? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit if your license is not in English or French, and you're set to rent an RV in Norwood with confidence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my RV rental in Norwood protected if something goes wrong?
Peace of mind is built right in. Every RV rental in Norwood, Ontario booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you're covered from the moment you drive off. During checkout you'll choose from several protection plan tiers, letting you pick the level of coverage that matches your comfort level and budget. These plans cover most accidental damage to the RV, giving you significant financial protection without the hassle of buying a separate policy. Do a thorough walkaround with your host at pickup and snap photos of any existing dings, that way everyone's on the same page before you head out toward Kawartha Highlands or Prince Edward County.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Norwood RV rental?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy sets a consistent cancellation policy across the platform (not individual hosts), with a grace period right after booking so you can lock in your dates without stress. Refund amounts after that window depend on how far in advance you cancel. If a host cancels your booking, RVezy refunds you or provides travel credits so your plans stay on track. If life changes your plans, reach out to RVezy's customer support team and they'll walk you through your options. Book your Norwood RV trip early to lock in the best rigs around the Asphodel-Norwood Fairgrounds weekend or the Norwood Fall Fair, knowing the cancellation policy has your back.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Norwood RV trip?
Yes, your pup is welcome on plenty of rigs. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see every pet-friendly RV rental Norwood hosts offer, and message the host before booking to mention your dog's size and any habits (some hosts charge a small pet cleaning fee, which is shown upfront). On the road, you'll find dog-friendly adventures all around: Petroglyphs Provincial Park trails, the beaches at Kawartha Highlands, and the off-leash area at Peterborough's Beavermead Park are all within 30 to 45 minutes. Pack a collapsible water bowl and a leash no longer than 2 metres, which is the maximum length required at Ontario provincial parks.
ontarioparks.ca/visiting/petsCan the RV be delivered to my campsite near Norwood?
Yes, and it's the easiest way to start your trip. Many RVezy hosts offer RV delivery Norwood travellers love, especially to popular spots like Ferris Provincial Park, Mark S. Burnham Provincial Park, and private campgrounds around Rice Lake. The host brings the rig, levels it, hooks up water and power if available, and gives you a full walkthrough, so you skip towing, backing into a tight site, or learning the systems on the fly. Use the Delivery filter when searching, and message the host with your destination for an exact delivery quote. Delivery is a game-changer for first time renting an RV, you arrive to a vacation cabin on wheels that's ready to enjoy.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038104634-RV-deliveryHow far can I drive on my Norwood RV rental?
You've got serious range to play with. Most RVezy hosts in the Norwood area include a daily mileage allowance (commonly 100 to 200 km per day) with reasonable per-kilometre fees beyond that, and some offer an RV rental with unlimited mileage as an add-on or built into the price. From Norwood you're well positioned: Algonquin Provincial Park is about 2.5 hours north, Prince Edward County wineries are roughly 1.5 hours south, Toronto is about 2 hours west, and Ottawa is roughly 3 hours east. If you're planning a bigger Ontario loop, filter for unlimited-mileage listings or message the host directly to discuss a package rate, it's often cheaper than paying overage fees on a long Norwood RV trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Norwood%2C%20OntarioWhere are the best campgrounds near Norwood, Ontario?
You're spoiled for choice in the heart of the Kawarthas. Top picks for RV camping Norwood vacationers return to year after year include Ferris Provincial Park in Campbellford (about 25 minutes east, with electrical sites along the Trent River), Beavermead Campground on Little Lake in Peterborough (full hookups and a beach), Silent Lake Provincial Park north toward Bancroft, Kawartha Highlands Signature Site for backcountry vibes, and Rice Lake private parks like Golden Beach Resort. Note that Mark S. Burnham Provincial Park is a day-use park and does not offer camping. Book provincial park sites through the Ontario Parks reservation system up to 5 months in advance, summer weekends at Ferris fill within hours of release.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/When is the best time to rent an RV in Norwood?
Late May through early October is prime time, with each window offering something different. June brings lush green forests and daytime highs around 22 to 25 C, perfect for paddling the Trent-Severn Waterway. July and August are peak summer with temperatures of 25 to 28 C, swimming weather at Rice Lake, and the busiest campgrounds. September is a local favourite: warm 18 to 22 C days, cool sleeping nights, fewer bugs, and the start of stunning Kawartha fall colours. Winter RV trips (December to March) are possible with hosts who offer four-season rigs, just expect temperatures down to -15 C and confirm heated tanks. Aim for the third week of September for peak fall foliage around Hastings and Havelock with mild daytime warmth.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/index_e.htmlI've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay?
You're going to do great, and you won't be on your own. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through driving tips, slide-outs, the propane and water systems, the generator, and the dump procedure, so first time renting an RV in Norwood feels totally doable. Norwood is one of the easier places in Ontario to start: Highway 7 east and west is wide and straight, traffic is light compared to the GTA, and you can ease into rural driving before tackling anything bigger. If you'd rather skip driving altogether, choose a host who delivers. For your first trip, pick a Class C motorhome or smaller travel trailer, they drive much more like a big van than a bus.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat if something breaks down during my trip?
You're never stranded. Every RV rental in Norwood booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, covering common issues like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing. One quick call connects you to a dispatcher who arranges help wherever you are, whether that's the shoulder of Highway 7, a quiet site at Ferris Provincial Park, or a rural backroad near Havelock. Your host is also just a message away through the RVezy app if you have a question about how something works (most issues turn out to be simple fixes). Save the roadside assistance number to your phone before you leave the driveway, it's in your booking confirmation email.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Norwood RV rental across the border to the US?
Often yes, with a quick conversation first. Many RVezy hosts allow cross-border trips into New York State or beyond, since Norwood sits about 2.5 hours from the Thousand Islands border crossing at Lansdowne and roughly 3 hours from the Ogdensburg-Prescott bridge. The key is confirming with your host before booking, because cross-border insurance coverage needs to be arranged in advance. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental. A popular RV road trip from Norwood loops through the Adirondacks and Lake Placid, then back via the 1000 Islands, message hosts directly from the listing page to ask about US-friendly rigs and any added paperwork.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much will fuel cost on my Norwood RV trip?
Easy to budget once you know the numbers. Gas prices in the Peterborough and Norwood area typically track close to the Ontario average, with stations in Havelock and Hastings often among the cheapest along Highway 7. Fuel economy varies by rig: Class B campervans get around 11 to 14 L/100km, Class C motorhomes average 18 to 25 L/100km, and big Class A motorhomes use 25 to 35 L/100km. For a typical 4-day, 600 km Kawarthas loop in a Class C, plan on roughly $190 to $260 CAD in fuel at recent Ontario pump prices. Fill up in Norwood or Havelock before heading north toward Bancroft or Algonquin, prices climb noticeably once you leave Highway 7.
ontario.ca/page/gasoline-pricesHow far in advance should I book a campground near Norwood?
The earlier the better, especially for summer weekends. Ontario Parks opens reservations exactly 5 months ahead through the official Ontario Parks reservation system, and prime sites at Ferris, Silent Lake, and Presqu'ile routinely sell out within the first hour for July and August Fridays and Saturdays. For private parks around Rice Lake and the Trent-Severn, 2 to 3 months ahead is usually safe, except for long weekends (Victoria Day, Canada Day, Civic, Labour) which book up earlier. Midweek? You can often grab something just days out. Set a calendar reminder for 7am on your 5-month-out date, log into Ontario Parks before the rush, and you'll have a strong shot at the riverside electrical sites at Ferris that everyone fights over.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/What are the roads and driving conditions like around Norwood?
Refreshingly easy compared to big-city driving. Norwood sits on Highway 7, a well-maintained two-lane provincial highway with generous shoulders, gentle curves, and minimal grades, ideal for getting comfortable with a motorhome rental Norwood travellers often pick as their first rig. Watch for occasional deer at dawn and dusk, slow-moving farm equipment in spring and fall, and a few low railway underpasses south toward Cobourg (most RVs clear easily but always check your rig's height, usually posted inside the driver's door). Winter brings snow and ice from December to March, so summer travel is much smoother. Avoid Highway 7 westbound on Sunday afternoons in July and August, that's when cottage traffic heads back to Toronto and the drive can take significantly longer.
511on.ca/What amenities do campgrounds near Norwood offer?
Plenty of comfort, especially in the Kawarthas. Most Ontario Parks campgrounds in the region (Ferris, Silent Lake, Presqu'ile) offer electrical sites with 15 or 30 amp service, potable water fill stations, sanitary dump stations, vault or flush toilets, and hot showers in comfort stations. Private parks like Golden Beach Resort and Wallace Point on Rice Lake go further with full hookups (water, sewer, 30/50 amp), Wi-Fi, swimming beaches, and laundry. The closest public dump stations to Norwood are at Ferris Provincial Park and Beavermead Campground in Peterborough. If you're staying at a non-serviced site, top up your fresh water tank in Norwood village before heading out, and plan a dump-and-fill stop on your way back.
ontarioparks.ca/campingWhat's included inside the RV rentals in Norwood?
More than you'd expect, these are personal RVs loved by their owners. A typical campervan rental Norwood guests book includes a real bed (or convertible dinette), a kitchenette with fridge, stove, sink, and cookware, while Class C motorhomes and travel trailers add a full bathroom with shower and toilet, a dining area, and often a TV, sound system, and outdoor awning. Many hosts include a generator, propane tanks filled, fresh linens, towels, camping chairs, and outdoor mats. Wi-Fi is hit-or-miss in the Kawarthas backcountry, so most rigs rely on host-provided hotspots or your own phone tethering. Read each listing's amenities list carefully and message hosts about specifics like high chairs, bike racks, or kayaks, many offer them free or for a small add-on fee.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Norwood%2C%20OntarioHow do pickup, dropoff, and add-ons work?
Smooth and flexible, you set it up with your host. Most RVezy hosts based around Norwood offer pickup at their location (often a rural driveway or farm property with easy turnaround), with a 30 to 60 minute walkthrough covering every system. Popular add-ons include generator hours, extra mileage packages, BBQs, fire pits, bike racks, paddleboards, linen kits, and pet fees, all clearly priced on the listing. Mileage policies vary: typical inclusions are 100 to 200 km per day with $0.30 to $0.50 per extra km, or upgrade to unlimited for a flat fee. Aim for a midday pickup, that gives you a relaxed orientation, time to grocery shop in Norwood or Havelock, and a short first drive to your campsite before sunset.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038104314-Pickup-and-returnHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Simple and secure, everything runs through the RVezy platform, so there's no need for cash, e-transfers, or off-platform deals. You pay the full booking amount (rental, fees, taxes, chosen protection plan) by credit card when you book, with the funds protected until your trip begins. A refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card a few days before pickup, with the amount set by the host and shown upfront on the listing, then released back to you after dropoff once the host confirms there's no damage or missing items. Take date-stamped photos and a quick video of the RV inside and out at both pickup and dropoff, it's the easiest way to ensure your security deposit comes back fast and in full after your Norwood adventure.
