Camping near Oro Station - Hawkestone
Oro Station and Hawkestone sit on the western shore of Lake Simcoe in Oro-Medonte Township, roughly halfway between Barrie and Orillia. The area is a practical base for RV travellers: it combines lakefront access with quick highway connections along Highway 11, and it sits within a short drive of two Ontario Parks operated campgrounds plus several private options.
Closest to the village core, Oro Campground and Heidi's Campground offer private-park amenities, while Bee Happy Family Campground caters to families looking for organized activities. For provincial-park camping, Bass Lake Provincial Park sits about ten minutes west of Orillia, and Mara Provincial Park sits about ten minutes south of Orillia on the shore of Lake Simcoe.
The surrounding township, Oro-Medonte, is a four-season recreation area with rolling farmland, forest tracts, ski hills, and the Lake Country Oro-Medonte Rail Trail linking Shanty Bay to Orillia. Grocery, fuel, and service stops are available in nearby Barrie and Orillia, both within a twenty-minute drive of most campgrounds in the area.
Things to do near Oro Station - Hawkestone
Lake Simcoe is the main draw. Mara features a sandy beach with gently sloping, shallow water on Lake Simcoe, and Bass Lake offers a sandy swimming beach with a boat launch. Fishing on Lake Simcoe targets perch, bass, muskie, and trout, with additional shore access on Lake Couchiching.
On land, the crushed-limestone Oro-Medonte Rail Trail runs between Shanty Bay and Orillia on a low-grade former rail bed, suitable for cycling, walking, and cross-country skiing in winter. Copeland Forest and the Simcoe County Forest Tracts add mountain-biking and hiking options.
Family side trips include Sainte-Marie among the Hurons, Discovery Harbour, Wye Marsh, and Casino Rama, all within about a thirty-minute drive.

The RV season runs roughly May through mid-October. Ontario Parks operates Bass Lake camping from early May until the Tuesday after Canadian Thanksgiving in October, while Mara is open for camping from early May until the first week of September, one of the shortest seasons in the provincial system. Private campgrounds in the area generally follow a similar May-to-October pattern.
July and August are peak. Lake Simcoe water temperatures are warm enough for swimming by late June, weekends fill quickly at both provincial parks, and small Mara often reaches capacity. Book well ahead for long weekends, particularly Victoria Day, Canada Day, the August Civic Holiday, and Labour Day.
Shoulder-season travel in May, early June, and September brings cooler nights, fewer bugs, and easier reservations. Fall colour typically peaks in early to mid-October in the surrounding forest tracts. Winter camping is not offered at the nearest provincial parks, though Bass Lake's trails and park roads remain open by walk-in access for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

This was such an amazing experience. J.D had everything set-up before we arrived. The space was clean. Bonus was Marvel bedding which my son's loved. Would absolutely rent again.

JD is a very nice host. I rented 2nd time. He delivered and picked up the RV from my house. Highly recommend him
Waqas M. - Aug 2026
We used it for our family reunion. It was excellent, we were comfortable, everything we needed was there. We loved it.
Normand E. - Aug 2026
As first-time RVers, we booked Tim and Jay’s Thor Motor Coach specifically to experience RV living, and they made the entire process seamless from start to finish. Right from the offset, Tim provided a thorough walkthrough and walkthrough brief so we felt confident before hitting the road. The RV was fully equipped with all the essentials, down to the small details like extra napkins and supplies, which saved us so much hassle. Even when we ran into a quick issue mid-trip and had to reach out, Jay responded with top-tier customer service and resolved everything smoothly and patiently. They genuinely cared about our experience and went above and beyond for us. If you’re looking for a reliable, fully stocked RV with incredible hosts, look no further. Highly recommended!

How to book campgrounds near Oro Station - Hawkestone
Bass Lake Provincial Park and Mara Provincial Park use the Ontario Parks reservation system. Sites can be booked up to five months in advance of the arrival date, either online at reservations.ontarioparks.ca or by phone at 1-888-668-7275. Reservation windows open at 7 a.m. EST, and popular summer weekends often clear out quickly once the booking window opens.
An Ontario Parks account is required for online reservations. Confirm site type before booking: Bass Lake has a mix of electric and non-electric loops across four campgrounds, and Mara offers both electrical and non-electrical car-camping sites.
Private campgrounds including Oro Campground, Heidi's Campground, and Bee Happy Family Campground handle reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Seasonal sites at private parks tend to sell out over the winter.
What to expect at campgrounds near Oro Station - Hawkestone
At Ontario Parks sites, expect a gravel or packed pad, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Bass Lake's car camping is spread across four campgrounds: Lakeview, Eastside, Cedar, and Hilltop. Comfort stations with showers and flush toilets are located in Lakeview, Eastside, and Hilltop, with smaller washrooms throughout the park. Mara has a single campground of 105 sites with washroom access and a shower building.
Site privacy varies. Serviced loops at both provincial parks tend to be more open, while non-electric loops offer more tree cover. RV travellers should check length limits and hookup type when reserving, since not every site accepts larger rigs.
Expect standard Ontario Parks rules: quiet hours, leashed pets only, and no dogs on the beach at either Bass Lake or Mara. Firewood is sold on site, and bringing outside firewood is discouraged to limit the spread of invasive pests.
