Camping near Renfrew, Ontario
Renfrew sits in the Ottawa Valley along Highway 17, roughly 100 kilometres west of Ottawa and within an easy drive of Algonquin Provincial Park, Bonnechere Caves, and the Ottawa and Bonnechere Rivers. The town works well as a base for RV renters who want river access, forested provincial parks, and small-town services without committing to a deep-wilderness route.
Private parks near town cover most needs. Renfrew / Ottawa West KOA Journey offers full hookup sites with electrical, water, and sewer connections, plus pull-through sites for larger rigs, along with washrooms, showers, laundry, a dump station, firewood, a playground, and Wi-Fi. Serenity Hills Campground, Whitewater Cottage and RV Resort, and Logos Land Resort and Waterpark round out the local options for families and longer stays.
Provincial parks in the region, including Fitzroy and Bonnechere, add electric sites, beaches, and hiking within roughly an hour of Renfrew, giving renters flexibility between full-service private parks and quieter public campgrounds.
Things to do around Renfrew
Water dominates the summer schedule. The Ottawa River corridor is a well-known whitewater rafting destination, and calmer stretches of the Bonnechere and Madawaska Rivers suit paddling and tubing. The Renfrew / Ottawa West KOA has an on-site lake with swimming and small-boat rentals, which keeps kids busy without leaving the park.
Families staying at Logos Land Resort and Waterpark get on-site waterslides and a lake, which reduces driving on hot days. Bonnechere Caves, a guided underground tour near Eganville, is a common rainy-day backup.
For day trips, the east side of Algonquin Provincial Park is reachable via Highway 60, with short interpretive trails suitable for kids and older paddlers alike. Renfrew itself has grocery, fuel, and hardware stops before heading further west.

The core RV season runs from mid-May through mid-October. Most private parks near Renfrew, including the KOA, close for winter and typically wrap up operations by mid-October. July and August bring the warmest water, the busiest weekends, and the highest demand for waterfront and full-hookup sites.
Spring opens with black-fly and mosquito activity in the woods through late May and June, then eases. Spring is also pothole season on rural roads, and from November through March, snow and ice are the norm, which effectively ends drive-up RV touring in the valley.
Fall is the quietest good-weather window. Late September through early October brings maple and birch colour across the Ottawa Valley and cooler nights suited to campfires, with most private parks still open but running reduced services closer to closing weekend.

Don and Carole were lovely to rent from. Communication was swift and helpful. We had no issues with the RV, and the queen mattress was the most comfortable we’ve yet to experience in 6 years of renting. Perfect getaway for our family of 4 and two small pups. Would definitely rent again.

Carole is a wonderful host. This is our 2nd year renting the trailer.

How to book campgrounds near Renfrew
Private parks and provincial parks use different systems, and both matter for a Renfrew trip. Ontario Parks accepts reservations up to five months in advance of the arrival date, with new inventory opening at 7 a.m. ET, and prime July to early September weekends can sell out within minutes for waterfront sites.
Renfrew / Ottawa West KOA Journey and Serenity Hills Campground take bookings well ahead of the season and fill up quickly for Canada Day, Civic Holiday, and Labour Day weekends. Whitewater Cottage and RV Resort and Logos Land Resort and Waterpark book directly through their own websites or by phone.
For holiday long weekends, target reservations as soon as the booking window opens. Midweek stays in June or September are usually available on shorter notice.
What to expect on the ground
Sites near Renfrew range from full-service private parks with pull-throughs to electric-only provincial park loops. Provincial parks like Fitzroy offer electric sites without sewer at the site, plus centralized dump stations, water fill stations, and comfort stations with flush toilets and showers, so plan tank management around arrival and departure days.
Roads in the valley are generally in good shape, but back routes can be narrow. GPS sometimes routes RVs onto narrow seasonal roads, so stick to numbered highways and county roads in any rig over 24 feet, and check 511 Ontario before heading out for current conditions.
Expect black flies in late spring, deer near dawn and dusk, and cell coverage that thins west of Renfrew toward Algonquin. Bring bug spray, a headlamp, and a paper map as backup.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Renfrew, ON
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Renfrew, ON?
RV rental in Renfrew is one of the most affordable ways to explore the Ottawa Valley. Travel trailers typically run around $120 to $160 per night, while motorhomes average about $200 to $275 per night, and many hosts offer weekly or monthly discounts. To find a cheap RV rental Renfrew travellers love, try shoulder-season dates in late May, early June, or September when prices drop and the bugs ease up. Booking midweek instead of Friday to Sunday is a reliable money-saver. Pro tip: compare real nightly totals including delivery and mileage side by side on RVezy before you commit.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Renfrew%2C%20OntarioDo I need a special licence to rent an RV in Renfrew?
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 Renfrew. There's no Commercial Driver's Licence (CDL) or special endorsement required for any Class A, Class B, Class C, travel trailer, or fifth wheel on RVezy. Approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and your ID is verified securely through the RVezy platform during checkout. Visiting from outside Canada? An International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country paired with your regular licence keeps things smooth at pickup. Most first-time renters are surprised how quickly the verification step wraps up so you can focus on planning your Ottawa Valley adventure.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included with my Renfrew RV rental?
Every RV rental in Renfrew, ON includes an RVezy renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you're covered from the moment you drive away. The protection plan helps cover most physical damage to the RV, and you choose your coverage level during checkout (it isn't set by the host). It isn't traditional auto insurance, but it gives renters real financial peace of mind on rural Highway 17 or backroads toward Calabogie. If you have a flat tire near Bonnechere Caves or a battery issue at the Renfrew/Ottawa West KOA, one phone call connects you to roadside help any hour. That safety net is a big reason first-timers feel confident booking their first Ottawa Valley RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Renfrew RV booking?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy sets the cancellation policy (it isn't host-defined), and the refund you receive depends on how close you are to your trip start date. The exact terms are shown clearly before you confirm payment, so there are no surprises. If a host cancels on you, RVezy issues a refund or travel credit so you're never left stranded. Pro tip: if your plans are still firming up, message the host through the listing first to confirm availability, then book early once dates are locked in. Hosts often release peak summer weekends fast in the Ottawa Valley.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Renfrew RV trip?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental Renfrew options are easy to find on RVezy: just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter and you'll see listings whose hosts welcome dogs (and sometimes cats). Renfrew is a dog lover's dream base camp. The Algonquin Trail running through town is leashed-dog friendly, O'Brien Park along the Bonnechere River has shaded riverbank strolls, and Fitzroy Provincial Park about 35 minutes east welcomes leashed pets on most trails. Many hosts ask for a small pet fee to cover extra cleaning. Bring a tie-out, collapsible water bowl, and your dog's vaccination records, then hit the trails together.
ontarioparks.ca/parks/fitzroyCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Renfrew?
Yes, RV delivery is one of the most popular options on RVezy for Renfrew renters, and it's a game-changer if you've never towed or driven a motorhome before. Many local hosts will drop the RV at your campsite (Renfrew/Ottawa West KOA and Fitzroy Provincial Park are common drop spots), level it, hook up water and electric, and walk you through every system before they leave. Delivery fees vary by host and distance, and some offer free delivery within a set radius of Renfrew. To request it, message the host from the listing page with your campground name and arrival date. You can show up with just groceries and clothes.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106154-Delivery-optionsHow far can I drive on a Renfrew RV rental and is unlimited mileage available?
You've got plenty of range to explore. Most Renfrew hosts include a set number of kilometres per day in the base rate, with additional kilometres priced per km, and some listings offer RV rental with unlimited mileage (look for the Unlimited Mileage filter). From Renfrew you're roughly 100 km from downtown Ottawa, 150 km from Algonquin Provincial Park's east gate, 175 km from Mont-Tremblant, and 450 km from Toronto. For a typical 5-night Ottawa Valley loop hitting Calabogie, Algonquin, and Bonnechere Caves, 600 to 800 km is plenty. Pro tip: if you're planning a longer RV road trip from Renfrew, message the host before booking and many will bump your daily allowance.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Renfrew%2C%20OntarioWhere are the best campgrounds near Renfrew, ON for an RV?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping Renfrew. The Renfrew/Ottawa West KOA sits just west of town with full hookups, a sandy beach, and family amenities. Fitzroy Provincial Park (about 35 minutes east) offers electric sites along the Ottawa River with a dump station and potable water. For something more remote, Bonnechere Provincial Park near Round Lake delivers classic Algonquin-edge scenery with sandy beaches and paddling on the Bonnechere River. Driftwood Provincial Park to the northwest is another scenic option along the upper Ottawa River. Book Ontario Parks sites up to five months ahead through the Ontario Parks reservation system, especially for July and August long weekends, which fill within hours of opening.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/When is the best time of year for an RV trip in Renfrew?
Renfrew shines from mid-May through mid-October, with each window offering something different. June through August is peak season with daytime highs typically in the mid-20s C, warm lakes for swimming, and every campground fully open, though weekends book up fast. Early September is the sweet spot for many regulars: milder days, fewer mosquitoes, and great Bonnechere River paddling. Late September through Thanksgiving weekend brings world-class fall foliage in the surrounding Ottawa Valley hardwood forests, especially around Foymount and Algonquin's east side. Winters are cold and most campgrounds close by mid-October, so summer and fall are the go-to seasons for a Renfrew RV trip.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/index_e.htmlI've never rented an RV before. Will I know what to do?
First time renting an RV? You're in great hands. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup (or at delivery) covering how to use the propane, water, dump valves, slide-outs, awning, generator, and dashboard controls, and most send a written cheat sheet too. You can also message your host any time during the trip with questions, plus 24/7 roadside assistance is one call away. For your first Renfrew RV trip, pick a closer base like the KOA on Johnston Road for night one, get comfortable with the systems, then push deeper into the valley on day two. Pro tip: ask for a Class C motorhome or a smaller travel trailer under 24 feet, they're the easiest first-timer drives on Highway 17.
ontario.ca/page/driving-and-roadsWhat happens if the RV breaks down during my trip?
You're never on your own. Every Renfrew rental includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the RVezy renter protection plan, so help is one phone call away whether you're at Bonnechere Caves, deep in Algonquin, or pulled over on Highway 60. Roadside typically covers towing, flat tires, battery boosts, lockouts, and fuel delivery. Your host is also your second line of support and usually responds within minutes through the RVezy app. For mechanical issues, RVezy's customer support team will help arrange repairs or a path forward so your trip stays on track. Pro tip: save the roadside number to your phone before you leave Renfrew and snap a photo of your RV's plate and unit number at pickup.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Renfrew RV rental into the United States or Quebec?
Cross-province travel into nearby Quebec is straightforward and popular, since Renfrew sits a short drive from the Quebec border, with Gatineau Park and the Pontiac region just a quick hop away. Travel into the United States may be allowed depending on the host and the insurance on the unit, so message the host directly from the listing page before booking to confirm. One firm rule: travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because insurance coverage doesn't extend there. Popular cross-border routes from Renfrew include the Adirondacks via the Ogdensburg-Prescott bridge (about 2 hours) and Vermont's Lake Champlain region (about 4 hours).
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on a Renfrew RV trip?
Fuel is usually the biggest variable cost, but it's easy to estimate. Class C motorhomes around Renfrew average roughly 18 to 25 litres per 100 km, Class B campervans get 12 to 16 L/100 km, and a truck towing a travel trailer lands around 20 to 28 L/100 km. Ottawa Valley gas prices typically run a few cents lower than downtown Ottawa, with stations in Renfrew, Cobden, and Arnprior usually offering competitive rates. For a 700 km loop through Algonquin and back, expect to spend roughly $180 to $280 on fuel for a midsize motorhome depending on current pump prices. Pro tip: fill up in Renfrew before heading west on Highway 60, prices climb noticeably once you pass Barry's Bay.
ontario.ca/page/gasoline-pricesHow far in advance should I book a campground near Renfrew?
Booking early is the single best move for a smooth Renfrew RV trip. Ontario Parks (Fitzroy, Bonnechere, Algonquin) opens reservations exactly 5 months ahead at 7 a.m. ET through the Ontario Parks reservation system, and prime July to early September weekends sell out within minutes for waterfront sites. The Renfrew/Ottawa West KOA and Serenity Hills Campground take bookings 6 to 12 months out and fill up quickly for Canada Day, Civic Holiday, and Labour Day weekends. Midweek nights and shoulder-season weekends (early June, late September) often have availability just a week or two out. Pro tip: set a calendar reminder for exactly 5 months before your desired Ontario Parks night and have your account logged in ready.
reservations.ontarioparks.ca/What are driving conditions like around Renfrew?
Driving around Renfrew is relaxed compared to big-city traffic, but a few local quirks are worth knowing. Highway 17 (the Trans-Canada) is the main artery and is mostly two-lane with periodic passing lanes between Renfrew and Pembroke, so leave extra time and let faster traffic by. Backroads toward Calabogie, Foymount, and Algonquin include steep grades, sharp curves, and frost heaves, take them slow in a tall RV. Watch for white-tailed deer at dawn and dusk year-round. In spring, pothole season is real. From November through March, expect snow and ice on rural roads. Pro tip: GPS sometimes routes RVs onto narrow seasonal roads, stick to numbered highways and county roads in any rig over 24 feet. Check 511 Ontario before you head out for current road conditions.
511on.ca/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds near Renfrew?
Most Renfrew-area campgrounds are well-equipped for any RV. The Renfrew/Ottawa West KOA offers full-hookup sites (30 and 50 amp), pull-throughs for big rigs, Wi-Fi, a dump station, potable water fill, hot showers, and a camp store. Provincial parks like Fitzroy offer electric sites (no sewer at site) with centralized dump stations and water fill stations, plus comfort stations with flush toilets and showers. For dumping between trips, several Ottawa Valley service stations along Highway 17 have public dump stations. Pro tip: top up fresh water at the campground before you check out, dump stations along Highway 17 are easy to find but potable water fills are less common.
koa.com/campgrounds/renfrew/What's included inside a typical Renfrew RV rental?
You'll be impressed by what comes standard. A typical motorhome rental Renfrew listing sleeps 4 to 7 with a queen bed, convertible dinette, and sometimes a bunk or cab-over, plus a full kitchen with fridge/freezer, propane stove, microwave, sink, and cookware. Bathrooms have a toilet, shower, and sink. Most rigs include a roof-mounted air conditioner, propane furnace, fresh/grey/black tanks, and 30-amp shore power hookup. Many hosts add a generator (great for boondocking at Bonnechere or off-grid sites near Calabogie), an outdoor awning, a TV, and Bluetooth stereo. Cellular hotspots work well in Renfrew but get patchy in Algonquin. Campervan rental Renfrew options (Class B) are more compact with similar essentials plus easier driving on Highway 17.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Renfrew%2C%20OntarioWhat add-ons can I get with my Renfrew RV rental?
Hosts in Renfrew offer plenty of optional extras to make your trip easier. Common add-ons include kitchen kits, bed and linen packages, camp chairs and outdoor mats, bikes, kayaks or paddleboards (perfect for the Bonnechere River), generators, and propane refills. Pickup is usually at the host's home base in or near Renfrew, with same-day return windows set by the host. Many hosts now offer flexible pickup windows and self check-in. Mileage policies range from a set daily allowance to fully unlimited. Pro tip: bundle delivery plus a setup package and you can arrive at Fitzroy or the KOA to a fully ready RV.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Renfrew%2C%20OntarioHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is simple and secure. You pay through RVezy at booking with a credit card, and your total covers the nightly rate, cleaning, delivery (if requested), your chosen protection plan, and applicable taxes, all itemized before you confirm. A refundable security deposit (amount set by the host and shown on the listing) is held separately from the booking payment and pre-authorized on your card before pickup rather than charged outright, then released after the host confirms the RV came back in good shape. To avoid any deductions, take time-stamped photos of the interior and exterior at pickup and dropoff, return on time, and follow the host's fuel and dump instructions. That's it, you're set for your Ottawa Valley adventure.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhat are the best road trip destinations from Renfrew?
Renfrew is a perfect launchpad for an Ottawa Valley RV trip. Algonquin Provincial Park's east gate is about 90 minutes west on Highway 60 with iconic fall colours and moose sightings. Calabogie Peaks and Eagle's Nest Lookout sit just 35 minutes south for hiking and lake swims. Bonnechere Caves near Eganville (about 45 minutes) offers guided underground tours of ancient fossils. Downtown Ottawa and Parliament Hill are 100 km east (about 1 hour 15 minutes), making a great day trip with the RV parked at Fitzroy Provincial Park. For a longer family RV trip Renfrew adventure, Mont-Tremblant in Quebec is about 2.5 hours northeast. Pro tip: locals love the drive up to Foymount for jaw-dropping autumn views of the Ottawa Valley.
