Camping near Ramara, Ontario
Ramara Township sits on the northeast shore of Lake Simcoe in central Ontario, a short drive east of Orillia. The area is a well-established RV destination built around lake access, sandy and rocky beaches, and two Ontario Parks properties within township boundaries. Toronto is roughly two hours south, which makes weekend availability tight from Victoria Day through Labour Day.
The closest option is McRae Point Provincial Park, on the shores of Lake Simcoe near Orillia. McRae Point has two campgrounds, North and South, with just over 200 campsites between them. Mara Provincial Park sits on the northern shore of Lake Simcoe and is known for its wide sandy beach. Mara has 105 campsites in a single compact campground, 36 of which have electrical service.
Private operators round out the options. Hammock Harbor Resort and Fair Havens Family Camp cater to seasonal and family stays, while Black River Wilderness Park offers a more rustic river-side experience north of the township. Together, these give RV renters a range from full-service resort to bare-bones provincial camping.
Things to do around Ramara
Lake Simcoe is the anchor activity. The lake holds bass, pike, perch, lake trout, and whitefish, and a valid Ontario fishing licence is required inside the provincial parks. McRae Point has a boat launch suitable for smaller vessels, while Mara has no boat launch or fishing pier, so paddlers there launch from the beach. Quiet bays are popular for paddleboarding and kayaking.
On shore, families use the beaches, playgrounds, and short walking loops inside the parks. McRae Point has a nature trail and a dog beach near the boat launch.
Off-site, Orillia sits about fifteen minutes away with restaurants, groceries, shopping, gas stations, and boat rentals. Casino Rama is within roughly a fifteen-minute drive. Rainy-day options include the Stephen Leacock Museum and the Orillia Museum of Art and History.

The camping season in Ramara is short and tightly tied to the Ontario Parks calendar. McRae Point is open for camping from the middle of May until Thanksgiving Monday in October. Mara Provincial Park runs on a shorter window, generally opening in early May and closing shortly after Labour Day, making it one of the shortest provincial-park seasons in the region. Private parks such as Hammock Harbor Resort and Fair Havens Family Camp generally operate May through October, while Black River Wilderness Park keeps a comparable summer window.
July and August are peak. Weekends around Canada Day, the August civic holiday, and Labour Day book out months ahead, and beach day-use lots can fill by mid-morning. Late May through late June and the first two weeks of September tend to be quieter, cooler, and easier for last-minute planning.
Spring and fall carry real trade-offs. Black-fly and mosquito pressure is highest in late May and June, and lake water stays cold well into July. Autumn brings colour along the Lake Simcoe shoreline but overnight temperatures often drop below freezing, so RV renters should confirm furnace operation and watch for winterization dates on their rental.
Top Hosts near Ramara, ON

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 had a great experience with JD. The trailer made our yearly camping trip, which we already loved, even better. It was clean, comfortable and having a fridge/freezer combo and A/C was a dream!
Marianne S. - 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 Ramara
Both provincial parks use the central Ontario Parks reservation system. Campsites can be booked up to five months in advance of the arrival date, and campers need an Ontario Parks account before reserving. Registrations open at 7 a.m. Eastern. Popular summer weekends at McRae Point and Mara are typically claimed within minutes of the booking window opening.
Daily vehicle permits at Mara can be obtained up to five days in advance, and McRae Point uses the same day-use booking flow, which is worth locking in for hot weekends when the beach lots close early.
Private parks including Hammock Harbor Resort, Black River Wilderness Park, and Fair Havens Family Camp are booked directly through each operator by phone or their own website. Seasonal-site holders take priority at these properties, so transient RV availability is limited and should be requested well ahead.
What to expect on site
The two provincial parks are small and family-oriented. McRae Point accommodates car camping, tenting, group camping, barrier-free sites, and RVs up to about 32 feet, with a choice of electric or non-electric sites. Campers have access to comfort stations with showers and flush toilets, water taps, a trailer sanitation station, picnic tables, firewood, and a playground.
Expect basics rather than resort amenities. There are no individual water or sewer hookups at the sites, and no full park store; the main gatehouse sells Ontario Parks souvenirs, firewood, ice, and novelty ice cream. Cell service is generally reliable given how close Orillia is.
Pets are welcome but restricted. Dogs must be leashed at all times, including during off seasons, and they are not permitted on the main beaches. Raccoons are active at night, so food and coolers should be stored inside the RV.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Ramara, ON
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Ramara, ON?
RV rental in Ramara is one of the more affordable ways to enjoy Lake Simcoe cottage country. On RVezy, most travel trailers in the Ramara and Orillia area typically start around $100 to $175 CAD per night, while Class C motorhomes and campervans usually run $200 to $375 CAD per night, depending on size, age, and season. To find a cheap RV rental in Ramara, book mid-week stays in May, June, or September when nightly rates ease. Pro tip: filter for Instant Book and look for hosts who include kitchen kits or outdoor gear, which saves you from buying extras for your weekend on the lake.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Ramara%2C%20OntarioWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Ramara, Ontario?
Great news for first timers: a regular Ontario G class driver's license (or your home province or country equivalent) is all you need to rent an RV in Ramara. No special RV license, air brake endorsement, or commercial license is required for the motorhomes and travel trailers listed on RVezy. Visiting from outside Canada? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your local auto association, usually under $25, and you are set. You will need to be 25 or older to book, and RVezy verifies your ID right inside the platform, so the whole process is done before you even pick up the keys.
ontario.ca/page/drivers-licenceIs RV rental in Ramara protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every RVezy booking in Ramara includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit Highway 12 toward Casino Rama or Lagoon City with real peace of mind. The protection plan helps cover damage to the RV during your trip and is included automatically. During checkout you can choose the coverage level that fits you best, from basic to premium. Combined with RVezy support before, during, and after your Lake Simcoe RV trip, you are never on your own out there.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my Ramara RV trip plans change?
You can book your Ramara RV rental with confidence: RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not individual hosts), and every booking includes a money-back grace period right after you reserve. After that window, your refund depends on how far out your trip start date is. Because the policy is managed by RVezy rather than each listing, you do not have to compare fine print across owners. If your plans shift, just reach out to RVezy support, who can walk you through your options before, during, or after the trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Ramara RV rental?
Yes, pet-friendly RV rental in Ramara is easy to find, just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you will see plenty of hosts who happily welcome dogs (and sometimes cats) along for the ride. Ramara is a dream for dog owners: McRae Point Provincial Park and Mara Provincial Park both allow leashed pets on most trails and designated pet beaches, and the 17 km Uhthoff Trail just west in Orillia is a tail-wagging favourite. Message the host before booking to confirm pet fees, size limits, and any cleaning expectations. Pro tip: pack a towel for sandy paws after a Lake Simcoe swim at Mara Beach.
ontarioparks.ca/park/maraprovincialparkCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Ramara?
Yes, RV delivery in Ramara is one of the smartest moves for first-time renters. Many RVezy hosts in the Ramara, Orillia, and Brechin area will tow or drive the RV directly to your campsite at Mara Provincial Park, McRae Point Provincial Park, or a Lagoon City area park, then level it, hook up water and hydro, and walk you through every system. Just filter for Delivery on RVezy and message the host with your destination and dates to confirm the fee, which usually scales with distance. It is the easiest way to enjoy a Lake Simcoe RV trip without ever towing a thing.
ontarioparks.ca/park/mararivermouthHow far can I drive on a Ramara RV trip, and is unlimited mileage available?
You have lots of flexibility: many Ramara RV hosts on RVezy offer generous daily kilometre allowances, and some list RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect if you are planning a bigger Ontario loop. Typical included allowances run 100 to 200 km per day, with extra kilometres usually $0.25 to $0.45 each. From Ramara you are roughly 20 km to Orillia, 45 km to Gravenhurst, 90 km to Algonquin Provincial Park's west gate, 140 km to Toronto, and about 175 km to Sandbanks Provincial Park. Each listing on RVezy shows the mileage policy clearly before you book, so you can match the right RV to your route.
ontario.ca/page/driving-and-roadsWhere are the best campgrounds near Ramara for an RV stay?
You are spoiled for choice. The two standouts are Mara Provincial Park on Lake Simcoe (great sandy beach, electrical sites, near Brechin) and McRae Point Provincial Park (peaceful peninsula campground with hydro sites and boat launch). For full-service RV camping near Ramara with sewer hookups and family amenities, Lagoon City area parks and other private resorts south toward Beaverton are great options. The Trent-Severn Waterway lock at Gamebridge also offers scenic overnight spots. Pro tip: Ontario Parks reservations open five months in advance through reservations.ontarioparks.ca, and Mara fills up fast for July and August weekends, so book the moment your window opens.
ontarioparks.ca/park/mararivermouthWhen is the best time to rent an RV in Ramara?
Ramara genuinely shines from late May through mid October, with the sweet spot being late June to early September when Lake Simcoe water temperatures climb into the low 20s C and daytime highs sit around 24 to 28 C. July and August are peak (and the busiest at Casino Rama and Mara Beach), so book early. September brings warm days, cool nights around 10 C, and gorgeous fall colour along the Trent-Severn Waterway, making it a local favourite for RV camping in Ramara. Winters are cold (often -10 to -20 C with heavy snow), so most Ramara RV rentals operate roughly May through October. Shoulder seasons mean lower rates and quieter campgrounds.

You are going to feel ready, even if this is your first time renting an RV. Every RVezy host in Ramara provides a hands-on orientation at pickup (or at delivery, if they bring it to your site), walking you through the propane, water, electrical, slide-outs, awning, and toilet step by step. Many also send a short video ahead of time. You can message your host anytime through the RVezy app, and 24/7 roadside assistance is included with every booking. Pro tip: start with a smaller Class C motorhome or campervan rental in Ramara for your first trip, they drive almost like a large van and park easily at Mara Provincial Park.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if the RV breaks down during my Ramara trip?
Take a breath, you are covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so if you get a flat on Rama Road, a dead battery at McRae Point, or a mechanical issue on Highway 12, one phone call dispatches help. You can also message your host directly through the app, since most Ramara owners live locally in Brechin, Atherley, or Orillia and can often respond quickly. RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after your trip to coordinate everything. Pro tip: snap a photo of the RV's roadside assistance card at pickup and save your host's number in your phone.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Ramara RV rental across the border to the United States?
Cross-border trips are sometimes possible but require advance approval, since insurance and protection coverage have to be confirmed for travel into the US. Message the host directly from the listing page before booking to ask about a US trip, and RVezy support can help confirm whether coverage extends. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental. Most Ramara renters skip the border altogether because the road trip options from Ramara within Ontario are exceptional: Algonquin Park (90 km northeast), Muskoka and Gravenhurst (45 km north), Sandbanks Provincial Park (175 km south), Tobermory and the Bruce Peninsula (about 220 km west), and Killarney (about 280 km north).
cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/menu-eng.htmlWhat kind of fuel economy and gas budget should I plan for?
Budgeting is simple once you know the numbers. Class B campervans in the Ramara area typically get 18 to 22 mpg (roughly 11 to 13 L/100 km), Class C motorhomes 10 to 14 mpg (17 to 23 L/100 km), and larger Class A motorhomes 7 to 10 mpg (24 to 34 L/100 km). Travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle. Gas prices in Simcoe County generally run a few cents below the Toronto average, with reliable fill-ups at the Brechin Ultramar, the Esso in Atherley, and stations in Orillia along Highway 12. Pro tip: top up in Orillia before heading north toward Muskoka, where prices can jump 10 to 15 cents per litre.
ontario.ca/page/motor-fuel-pricesHow far in advance should I book a campground near Ramara?
For Ontario Parks like Mara and McRae Point, the magic number is exactly five months. Ontario Parks opens reservations at 7 a.m. ET, five months to the day before your arrival, through the official reservations.ontarioparks.ca system. Mara Provincial Park electrical sites for July and August weekends often sell out within minutes of that window opening, so set a calendar reminder. Private parks like Lagoon City RV Park and Pleasant Park Resort generally take bookings 6 to 12 months ahead. For shoulder season (late May, June, September), you can often book just 2 to 4 weeks out. Pro tip: lock in your RVezy rental first, then your campsite, so dates always line up.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/What are driving conditions like around Ramara?
Driving an RV around Ramara is refreshingly low stress. The main routes (Highway 12, Highway 169, and Rama Road / County Road 44) are paved, two-lane, and gently rolling, with no mountain passes or tight switchbacks. Watch for summer cottage traffic on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons on Highway 12 between Orillia and Beaverton, and slow down on Rama Road near Casino Rama where deer crossings are common at dawn and dusk. Winter brings snow squalls off Lake Simcoe, which is why most local RV hosts operate May through October. Pro tip: avoid the Atherley Narrows bridge on Highway 12 during long-weekend rush hours and use County Road 169 as a scenic alternative.
511on.ca/What amenities will I find at Ramara-area campgrounds?
You will find solid infrastructure across the board. Mara and McRae Point Provincial Parks both offer electrical (hydro) sites at 15 and 30 amp, flush toilets, hot showers, potable water fill stations, and on-site sanitary dump stations included with your camping fee. Private parks like Lagoon City RV Park and Pleasant Park Resort add full hookups including sewer, plus Wi-Fi, laundry, and pools. If you are boondocking nearby, the Orillia waste transfer station and several Trent-Severn Waterway lock stations offer dump services for a small fee. Pro tip: top up fresh water before you leave Orillia or Brechin, since not every site has a tap right at the pad.
ontarioparks.ca/park/maraprovincialpark/campingWhat is included inside a typical Ramara RV rental?
You will be impressed by how turnkey these rigs are. A typical motorhome rental in Ramara comes fully equipped: queen or king bed, convertible dinette and sofa beds that sleep 4 to 8, a kitchen with fridge/freezer, propane stove, microwave, sink, and usually an oven, plus a wet or dry bathroom with toilet and shower. Air conditioning, furnace, and a hot water tank are standard, and most listings include a TV, USB charging, and either a generator or solar setup. Many hosts also include linens, kitchen kits, camp chairs, and outdoor mats. Seatbelts for every traveller are required, so confirm the sleeps-and-seats count on the listing before you book.
ontario.ca/laws/regulation/900587What add-ons and pickup options should I expect when booking?
You have tons of flexibility. Most Ramara hosts on RVezy offer optional add-ons like bedding and towel packages ($25 to $75), kitchen kits ($25 to $50), portable BBQs, bike racks, kayaks or SUPs (perfect for Lake Couchiching), generators, and even camp chairs and outdoor rugs. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Brechin, Atherley, Washago, or nearby Orillia, with a 30 to 60 minute orientation included. Delivery in Ramara is widely available for a flat fee or per-kilometre rate. Mileage policies, generator hours, and pet fees are all listed clearly on each listing. Pro tip: ask about a Casino Rama drop-off if friends are meeting you there for the weekend.
ramara.ca/en/recreation-and-community/visit-ramara.aspxHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and fully handled through RVezy, no cash or e-transfers to the host. You pay with a credit card right on the platform when you book, and your funds are processed securely. A refundable security deposit (commonly $500 to $1,500 CAD depending on the RV) is pre-authorized on your card shortly before pickup and released after the trip, assuming no damage or extra cleaning is needed. To avoid issues, take date-stamped photos and a quick video of the RV inside and out at both pickup and drop-off in Ramara. Pro tip: return the RV with the same fuel level and a tidy interior to get your deposit back fast.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksIs Ramara a good base for a family RV trip in Ontario?
It is one of the best in the province. A family RV trip in Ramara puts you on the doorstep of Lake Simcoe's sandy beaches, the Mnjikaning Fish Weirs (a 4,000-year-old Indigenous archaeological site at the Atherley Narrows), the 28 km Ramara Trail along the old CN rail line, and Casino Rama's family-friendly dining and shows. Kids love the swimming beach at Mara Provincial Park, mini-golf in Orillia, and the Stephen Leacock Museum just 15 minutes away. With Toronto only 90 minutes south, it is an easy weekend escape. Pro tip: book a pet-friendly RV rental in Ramara so the family dog can join the beach days too.
