Campgrounds near Omemee
Omemee sits in the City of Kawartha Lakes in south-central Ontario, on the Pigeon River between Lindsay and Peterborough. The village is part of the Kawartha Lakes tourism region, a chain of interconnected lakes and rivers that feed the Trent-Severn Waterway. The area is roughly an hour and a half from the Greater Toronto Area, making it a common weekend and long-weekend destination for RV travellers.
The closest full-service option is Emily Provincial Park, an Ontario Parks recreational park located at 797 Emily Park Road just outside Omemee. It offers electrical and non-electrical sites, beaches on the Pigeon River, a boat launch, and direct access to the Trent-Severn system. Private options nearby include Double M RV Resort Campground in Lindsay, plus Bobcaygeon Shores Cottage Resort, Cedar Valley Cottage Resort, and Sandaraska Park near Pontypool at the edge of the Ganaraska Forest.
Most private parks in the region carry a large share of seasonal sites, so the pool of nightly and weekend openings tightens quickly in July and August.
Things to do around Omemee
The main draw is the water. Pigeon Lake, Sturgeon Lake, and the Scugog and Pigeon Rivers connect through the Trent-Severn Waterway, giving boaters a navigable route between Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay. Fishing in the Kawarthas focuses on smallmouth and largemouth bass, walleye, muskie, and panfish, and Emily Provincial Park participates in the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters Tackleshare program, lending rods and tackle from the park store.
On land, the Ganaraska Forest next to Sandaraska Park covers about 11,000 acres and is used for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and ATV routes with a day-use pass. The Victoria Rail Trail passes through Omemee and links Lindsay to Kinmount for cycling and walking. Side trips include Lock 32 on the Trent-Severn and services in Lindsay and Peterborough.

The camping season in the Kawarthas is short and clearly defined. Ontario Parks operates Emily Provincial Park from mid-May through the weekend after Canadian Thanksgiving in October. Most private parks in the region run from roughly May through late October, with exact opening and closing dates set by each operator.
July and August are peak season. Weekends fill quickly, especially around the Canada Day and Civic Holiday long weekends, and midweek stays are noticeably quieter. Beach access, boat rentals, and the Emily park store are all in full operation during these months.
Spring and fall are the shoulder seasons. Late May and early June bring blackfly and mosquito pressure but low crowds. September and early October are popular for fall colours along the Trent-Severn corridor. Winter camping is not offered in this area, since Emily Provincial Park closes its facilities and most private parks shut down, though Emily's grounds stay open for day use for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and winter hiking with limited parking.

How to book
Emily Provincial Park uses the Ontario Parks reservation system. Sites can be booked up to five months in advance of the arrival date, and the daily inventory drops at 7:00 a.m. Eastern. An Ontario Parks account is required before booking online, and a daily vehicle permit is charged in addition to the camping fee.
Private parks in the area, including Double M RV Resort Campground, Bobcaygeon Shores Cottage Resort, Cedar Valley Cottage Resort, and Sandaraska Park, each handle their own reservations directly through their websites or phone lines. Because many of their sites are sold as seasonal contracts, the pool of nightly and weekend sites is limited.
For prime summer weekends, book Emily right when the five-month window opens, and reserve private parks at least a month ahead for long weekends.
What to expect
Sites in the area vary widely. Emily Provincial Park offers a mix of electrical and non-electrical sites across the Hilltop, Hill, Circle, and Cedars campgrounds. Cedars is tent-only, non-electrical, and radio-free, while the other campgrounds accommodate trailers and larger RVs and connect to comfort stations with showers.
Private parks in Kawartha Lakes typically provide full hookups with water, electrical, and sewer, plus dump stations and laundry. Sandaraska Park operates 219 sites on 200 acres next to the Ganaraska Forest, with a heated saltwater pool, playgrounds, and horse pens in its Pine Alley section.
Cell and data coverage is generally reliable near Omemee, Lindsay, and Peterborough. Firewood should be purchased on site to comply with Ontario's rules on moving wood, and the region has active mosquito populations, so standard food storage and bug precautions apply.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Omemee, ON
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Omemee, ON?
RV rental in Omemee is one of the most affordable ways to explore the Kawartha Lakes, with most listings ranging from $120 to $250 per night for travel trailers and $200 to $400 per night for Class C motorhomes. Prices peak from late June through Labour Day weekend, when cottage country demand is highest. For a cheap RV rental in Omemee, look at mid-week trips in early June or September, when nightly rates often drop 20 to 30%. Pro tip: filter by Instant Book on RVezy to lock in a deal fast, and check listings that include kitchen kits or bedding to save on add-ons.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Omemee%2C%20OntarioWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Omemee?
Good news: a regular Ontario Class G driver's licence (or your home province/state equivalent) is all you need to rent an RV in Omemee for every Class B campervan, Class C motorhome, and travel trailer on RVezy. No special RV licence, air-brake endorsement, or commercial licence is required. Approved drivers on RVezy are generally 25 or older, and your ID is verified right through the booking platform so there's no paperwork at pickup. Visiting from outside Canada? Bring your home licence (an International Driving Permit is recommended if your licence isn't in English or French) and you're set to cruise Highway 7 straight into cottage country.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV rental in Omemee covered by insurance and roadside assistance?
Every Omemee RV trip booked through RVezy comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance included, so you can pull into Emily Provincial Park knowing you're covered. The protection plan guards against most accidental damage to the vehicle, and you choose your coverage level during checkout (hosts don't pick this, you do). If a tire blows on Highway 7 or the fridge stops cooling on Pigeon Lake, one call gets help dispatched any time, day or night. Pick the tier that fits your comfort level and hit the road with confidence on your Kawarthas RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Omemee RV rental?
Booking your Omemee RV trip is low-risk: RVezy sets a clear cancellation policy on every reservation, including a money-back grace period right after booking so you can lock in your dates without second-guessing. Refund outcomes depend on how far out from your trip you cancel. Hosts don't set these terms, RVezy does, so the rules are consistent across every listing. If a host cancels on you, RVezy refunds the booking or provides travel credits so your plans aren't left in limbo. Pro tip: book early to secure summer weekends near Pigeon Lake, you've got flexibility built in if plans shift.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an Omemee RV trip?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental in Omemee is easy to find. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you'll see plenty of listings whose owners welcome dogs (and sometimes cats), often for a small cleaning fee. Emily Provincial Park welcomes leashed pets on most campsites and has a designated pet beach area along the Pigeon River. Bring a leash (maximum 2 metres per Ontario Parks rules), poop bags, and a water bowl for the trail to Emily Creek. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet details and any cleaning fees so there are no surprises at pickup.
ontarioparks.ca/visitor-information/petsCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Omemee?
Yes, RV delivery in Omemee is offered by many hosts, and it's the easiest way to start your trip, especially if you've never towed or driven a big rig. Filter by Delivery on RVezy and you'll find owners who'll drop the RV right at Emily Provincial Park, a private campground on Pigeon Lake, or a driveway in town. They'll level it, hook up water and 30-amp power, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. Delivery fees vary by host and distance, and are clearly shown before you book. For a first time renting an RV, this turns the whole trip into a glamping experience.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Omemee%2C%20OntarioHow far can I drive from Omemee on an RV trip?
Plenty of incredible destinations sit within easy striking distance of Omemee. Popular routes for an RV road trip from Omemee include Algonquin Provincial Park (about 230 km / 2.5 hours north), Prince Edward County wine country (about 150 km / 2 hours south), Sandbanks Provincial Park (about 170 km / 2 hours), Killbear Provincial Park on Georgian Bay (about 260 km / 3 hours), and Bon Echo Provincial Park (about 165 km / 2 hours). Many hosts include a generous daily kilometre allowance in the base rate, and you can find RV rental with unlimited mileage by filtering for it on RVezy. Pro tip: if you're doing a loop through the Kawarthas plus Algonquin, request unlimited mileage upfront to keep your budget predictable.
ontarioparks.ca/park/algonquinWhat are the best campgrounds near Omemee for RV camping?
You're spoiled for choice with RV camping in Omemee. Top picks: Emily Provincial Park sits on the Pigeon River with multiple campgrounds and electrical sites that fit large motorhomes; Pigeon Lake Park near Bobcaygeon delivers full-service waterfront sites on the Trent-Severn Waterway; Wolf Run Resort and other private parks in the Kawartha Lakes area offer full hookups within a short drive; and Balsam Lake Provincial Park (about 35 km north) is a family favourite with electrical sites and a long sandy beach. Book Emily Provincial Park through the Ontario Parks reservation system up to five months in advance, especially for July and August weekends. Pro tip: midweek arrivals get the pick of waterfront sites at Emily.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/When is the best time to visit Omemee in an RV?
Late May through early October is prime season for an Omemee RV trip, with July and August delivering warm days typically in the mid 20s Celsius and long evenings perfect for lakeside campfires. June is a sweet spot: temperatures climb into the low 20s, the bugs taper off by late month, and campgrounds are quieter than in mid-summer. September brings crisp nights, fiery maple colour along the Pigeon River, and excellent walleye fishing. Winters in Omemee dip well below freezing with significant snow, so most RVs are stored from November through April. Pro tip: aim for the second weekend in June or mid-September if you want Emily Provincial Park's best sites without the long weekend crowds.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay driving around Omemee?
You'll do great, and Omemee is honestly one of the easier places in Ontario to learn. The roads around town (Highway 7, County Road 7, Highway 35) are wide, flat, and lightly travelled compared to anything around Toronto. Every RVezy host gives a full walkthrough at pickup covering propane, slide-outs, dumping, water systems, and driving tips, and you can text them throughout your trip with questions. If you're nervous, pick a Class B campervan or a smaller Class C (24 to 26 feet) for your first trip, both of which handle like a large van. Pro tip: do a 15-minute test drive on a quiet stretch of Highway 7 before heading to your campsite to build confidence.
ontario.ca/document/official-mto-drivers-handbookWhat happens if my RV breaks down near Omemee?
You're never stranded. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance with the renter protection plan, so if you get a flat on Highway 7, the battery dies at Emily Provincial Park, or you run out of propane near Pigeon Lake, one phone call dispatches help any time. Your host is also a text away for quick troubleshooting (often they'll know exactly which breaker to flip), and RVezy's support team is reachable before, during, and after your trip. Pro tip: snap a photo of your RV's roadside assistance card at pickup so the number is on your phone before you lose cell service heading toward Algonquin.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Omemee RV rental across the border into the US?
Cross-border travel from Omemee to the US is possible with some RVezy listings, but it requires the host's written approval before booking because of insurance requirements. Travel to Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental. The closest US crossings from Omemee are the Thousand Islands Bridge (about 2.5 hours east) and the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge near Niagara (about 2.5 hours southwest), both popular jumping-off points for Adirondacks or Finger Lakes trips. Message the host directly from the listing to discuss your route and confirm coverage. Pro tip: most Omemee renters keep it Canadian and loop through Algonquin, Muskoka, or Prince Edward County, all stunning and stress-free.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage should I expect and how do I budget for gas?
Plan on roughly 18 to 25 litres per 100 km (about 10 to 13 mpg) for a Class C motorhome, 12 to 16 L/100 km for a Class B campervan, and a fuel hit of 20 to 30% above your tow vehicle's normal consumption if you're pulling a travel trailer. Gas in the Omemee, Lindsay, and Peterborough area generally runs in line with Ontario averages. A 600 km loop through the Kawarthas in a Class C costs roughly $180 to $260 in fuel at typical prices. Most RVs in Omemee take regular unleaded; a few diesel Class Cs are available. Pro tip: fill up in Lindsay or Peterborough before heading to cottage country, prices climb the further north you drive.
ontario.ca/page/gas-pricesHow far in advance should I book a campground near Omemee?
For an RV rental in Ontario heading to the Kawarthas, book your campground as soon as your RV is confirmed. Emily Provincial Park opens reservations exactly five months ahead through the Ontario Parks reservation system, and waterfront sites vanish within hours for July and August weekends. Private parks in the area accept bookings 6 to 12 months in advance and fill up by spring for summer holidays. Shoulder-season trips (June and September) are much easier to plan, often bookable two to four weeks out. Pro tip: set a calendar reminder for 7 a.m. on the five-month-out date and target the waterfront loops at Emily for the best Pigeon River views.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/What are local driving conditions like around Omemee?
Driving around Omemee is refreshingly easy. The village sits on Highway 7 between Lindsay (about 15 km west) and Peterborough (about 30 km east), both flat, well-maintained two-lane highways. Watch for deer at dawn and dusk on County Road 7, slow-moving farm equipment in summer, and the occasional construction stretch on Highway 35. The downtown bridge on Highway 7 accommodates standard RVs, which covers every rig on RVezy. Avoid heading into Toronto on Sunday afternoons (Highway 115/401 backs up badly). Pro tip: gas up in Lindsay, stock the fridge at the Omemee Foodland, then take the scenic route up Highway 7A toward Bobcaygeon to start your trip in cottage-country mode.
511on.ca/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Omemee?
Campgrounds around Omemee are well equipped. Emily Provincial Park offers electrical (15/30 amp) sites, flush toilets, hot showers, laundry facilities, a sanitation station for dumping black and grey tanks, a potable water fill, two sandy beaches on the Pigeon River, canoe and kayak rentals, a park store with firewood and ice, and a playground. Private parks in the Kawartha Lakes area commonly offer full hookups including sewer. Cell service is solid throughout the area on major Canadian carriers. Pro tip: dump your tanks at Emily's sanitation station on the way out, it's included with your reservation and saves you searching for one between Omemee and home.
ontarioparks.ca/park/emilyWhat's actually inside an Omemee RV rental?
You'll be impressed. A typical motorhome rental in Omemee, whether Class B, Class C, or a travel trailer, comes with a real bed (queen or king), a kitchen with a propane stove, fridge/freezer, microwave, sink, dishes and cookware, a bathroom with toilet and shower, dinette seating, air conditioning, a propane furnace, and seatbelts for everyone travelling. Most rigs include a TV, and many offer a generator, outdoor speakers, or a propane fire pit. Wi-Fi varies, hotspots travel better than fixed routers in cottage country. Planning a family RV trip in Omemee with kids? Look for bunkhouse travel trailers with separate bunk areas. Pro tip: check the listing's amenity list and ask the host about linens and a kitchen kit so you don't haul your own from home.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Omemee%2C%20OntarioWhat add-ons can I get with my Omemee RV rental and how do pickup/dropoff work?
Hosts in the Omemee area offer a range of helpful add-ons that smooth out your trip: linen and bedding packages, kitchen kits, camping chairs and outdoor mats, portable BBQs, generators on travel trailers, bike racks, and propane fire pits. Pickup is typically in the afternoon with a 30 to 60 minute walkthrough, and dropoff is usually before late morning the following day. Many hosts include a daily kilometre allowance in the rate; extra kilometres are charged at a per-km rate shown on the listing, or you can request unlimited mileage. Pro tip: ask for a propane fire pit, many provincial parks impose fire bans in dry summers, and propane fire pits are typically still allowed.
ontarioparks.ca/safety/fireHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and entirely online, no cash or cheques at pickup. When you book your campervan rental in Omemee (or any RV type), RVezy charges your credit card for the rental total plus fees, then places a refundable security deposit hold on your card before your trip. The security deposit is separate from the booking payment and is released back to your card after dropoff, assuming no damage or extra cleaning. To avoid hiccups: do a thorough photo or video walkthrough with your host at both pickup and return, refill the propane and fuel to the same level, and dump the tanks. Pro tip: use a credit card with a high limit so the deposit hold doesn't crowd out vacation spending.
