Campgrounds and RV parks near Perry, ON

Perry is a rural township in Parry Sound District, sitting at the southernmost part of the Almaguin Highlands and bordering the District of Muskoka. It is centred on the villages of Emsdale and Novar, roughly 2.5 hours north of the Greater Toronto Area along Highway 11 and just north of Huntsville. The terrain is Canadian Shield country: exposed bedrock, mixed forest, and a dense network of lakes and rivers. The area works well as an RV base because it combines a marquee Ontario Parks destination with several private campgrounds. Arrowhead Provincial Park, a short drive south near Huntsville, is the largest public option in the area. Nearby private parks include Almaguin Campgrounds, Silver Sands Tent and Trailer Park, Duins Pineridge Resort Members, and Sun Retreats Huntsville. Most travellers arrive via Highway 11, which runs through the township. Perry itself is compact and quiet, so RV travellers typically use it as a launching point for hiking, paddling, and shoulder-season stays, with Huntsville a short drive south for groceries, fuel, and services.

Arrowhead Provincial Park is reserved through the Ontario Parks reservation system at reservations.ontarioparks.ca or by phone at 1-888-ONT-PARK. The booking window opens at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time, five months before the arrival date. For a July 15 arrival, the site becomes bookable at 7:00 a.m. on February 15. Summer weekends, especially those tied to Canada Day, the August Civic Holiday, and Labour Day, tend to fill within minutes of the window opening. Create the Ontario Parks account in advance, save payment details, and log in several minutes early. Availability notifications inside the system flag cancellations, which are most common about two weeks out and in the final 24 to 48 hours before arrival. Private parks such as Almaguin Campgrounds, Silver Sands Tent and Trailer Park, Duins Pineridge Resort Members, and Sun Retreats Huntsville are booked directly with each operator and run on their own calendars.
