Campgrounds near Richmond, Ontario
Richmond is a village in the south-west corner of the City of Ottawa, close enough to the capital for day trips yet surrounded by farmland, the Jock River, and the Rideau waterway. Most RV travellers use it as a quieter base for visiting Ottawa, roughly a 30-minute drive to Parliament Hill, while still having easy access to provincial parks south along Highway 416.
Wesley Clover Park Campground sits in the National Capital Greenbelt on the west side of Ottawa and is the closest large serviced option, with tree-covered sites offering 50, 30, and 15 amp service, plus cedar cabins. Rideau River Provincial Park, roughly 40 kilometres south near Kemptville, is the nearest Ontario Parks property, with two campgrounds along the Rideau waterway.
Closer to Richmond itself, Sleepy Cedars Family Camping in Greely, Camp Hither Hills, and Ottawa's Poplar Grove Campground/ RV Park are private family- and RV-focused parks along or near Bank Street south of the city.
Things to do around Richmond
The Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, threads through the region and is a focal point for boating, paddling, cycling, and lockside picnics. Rideau River Provincial Park adds a sandy main beach, muskie and bass fishing, and the 1.5-kilometre Shoreline Trail along the waterway.
Ottawa itself is the main draw: Parliament Hill, the ByWard Market, the national museums, and the Rideau Canal pathways are all inside a 30 to 40 minute drive from Richmond. Wesley Clover Park Campground backs onto the Watts Creek Pathway, a 9.3-kilometre multi-use trail that connects into the Greenbelt Pathway West and the Trans Canada Trail, making it possible to ride into downtown Ottawa in about an hour.
Family campgrounds in the area typically add pools, playgrounds, and scheduled activities for kids.

The camping season in this part of eastern Ontario is short and clearly defined by the shoulder frost dates. The average last spring frost in the Ottawa area falls near the end of April, and the first fall frost typically returns in early October, leaving a frost-free window of roughly five months.
Most campgrounds follow that pattern. Rideau River Provincial Park operates from early May to mid-October, and Wesley Clover Park Campground runs a similar May to mid-October season. July and August are peak booking months, with warm days averaging in the mid-20s Celsius and the longest daylight of the year, but also the highest mosquito pressure in wooded sites near the Greenbelt.
Early fall brings cooler nights, fewer bugs, and Rideau Valley foliage. Winter is not a practical RV season here: from November through March, temperatures can remain below freezing all day, and the seasonal parks around Richmond are closed.

Everything as described, we had a great time. Thanks Robert!
Balint M. - Sep 2025
Rick and Keryl were very nice and helpful. This was our first experience with an RV and they took time to walk us through everything and answer the many questions that we had. They also offered that we could reach them anytime with questions. When we did reach out, they answered very promptly. The RV was clean and very comfortable for our family. There were a lot of amenities available with the RV. Our RV trip was a dream come true. We definitely recommend booking with Rick and Keryl. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!
Mylinh R. - Aug 2026

Booking and reservations
Rideau River Provincial Park is booked through the Ontario Parks reservation system at reservations.ontarioparks.ca, either online or by phone. Sites at Rideau River may or may not have electricity and do not have water or sewer hookups at the site, though a dump and fill station is provided near the park entrance. Roofed accommodations such as camp cabins and canvas prospector tents carry a two-night minimum, extended to three nights on long weekends.
Wesley Clover Park Campground manages its own reservations, with unserviced sites available only by phone or email through the campground office. A valid credit card is required to confirm bookings, the reservation must be in the name of the person picking up the permit, and photo ID is required at check-in. Private parks near Richmond, such as Sleepy Cedars Family Camping, Camp Hither Hills, and Ottawa's Poplar Grove Campground/ RV Park, book directly through their own websites or by phone and mix seasonal renters with overnight sites.
What to expect on the ground
Sites in the Richmond and Ottawa area tend to be heavily treed and reasonably private. Wesley Clover Park Campground has back-in loops through mixed forest, most sites with electric and water service, a dump station, laundry, and free Wi-Fi hotspots near the office and comfort station. Highway 417 runs close by, so expect steady background road noise even on quieter sites.
Rideau River Provincial Park has two comfort stations with showers and flush toilets, laundry facilities, vault toilets through the rest of the park, and a beach day-use area. The dump station is designed to be accessed on the way out, so plan the approach with a longer rig.
Bring-your-own-firewood restrictions apply at Wesley Clover Park, where outside firewood is not permitted to protect the local forest. Mosquitoes are heavy in early summer near the Greenbelt, so pack repellent.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Richmond, ON
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Richmond, ON?
RV rental in Richmond, ON is surprisingly affordable, especially compared to traditional Ottawa-area cottage rentals. On RVezy, motorhome rental Richmond pricing averages around $200 per night for Class B and Class C motorhomes, while travel trailers typically run about $120 per night. Most hosts offer 10% to 20% discounts on weekly and monthly bookings, which adds up fast on a 7-night Ottawa Valley loop. To find a cheap RV rental Richmond, search midweek dates outside the July and August peak, filter by your sleeps count, and message a host directly about flexible pickup times. Pro tip: shoulder-season trips in late May or mid-September deliver the same Jock River views at a noticeably lower nightly rate.
ottawatourism.ca/en/see-and-do/unexpected-journeysWhat driver's license do I need to rent an RV in Richmond, ON?
Good news for first time renting an RV: a regular full Class G Ontario driver's license is all you need to drive virtually every motorhome and travel trailer on RVezy in Richmond. In Ontario, any motorhome with a gross weight under 11,000 kg can be driven on a standard G license, which covers nearly all Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, and towable trailers listed locally. Visiting from outside Canada? Bring your home country license plus an International Driving Permit if your license is not in English or French. All RVezy renters must be 25 or older, and ID is verified securely through the platform during booking, so there is nothing extra to print or mail.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my RV rental in Richmond covered if something goes wrong?
Every RV rental in Richmond booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit Highway 416 toward the Thousand Islands knowing you are covered. The protection plan helps cover physical damage to the RV during your trip, and you choose the coverage level that fits your comfort at checkout. Roadside assistance is included with every protection plan and helps with flat tires, battery boosts, lockouts, and tows. Pair that with your host's pre-trip walkthrough and you have removed the biggest barriers to confidently saying yes to your first RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Richmond RV rental?
Booking your Richmond RV trip is low risk because RVezy, not individual hosts, sets the cancellation policy across the platform. Every booking includes a money-back grace period right after you book, giving you a window to lock in dates with flexibility. After that, refund eligibility depends on how far out from your trip you cancel. If a host ever cancels on you, RVezy refunds your booking or helps you rebook. Full details live in the RVezy Help Center, and the support team is available before, during, and after your trip if plans shift. Pro tip: book early to secure summer Ottawa Valley dates, then relax knowing flexibility is built in.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Richmond, ON RV rental?
Absolutely, and a pet-friendly RV rental Richmond is one of the easiest ways to travel with your dog in the Ottawa region. On RVezy, just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter and you'll see listings where hosts welcome four-legged co-pilots, often with a small cleaning fee. Once you're booked, you'll find leash-friendly spots minutes from Richmond, including the Jock River trails, the Trans Canada Trail along the former rail bed, and the off-leash area at Bruce Pit just 20 minutes north in Ottawa. Most nearby campgrounds like Sleepy Cedars Family Camping and Cardinal/Ottawa South KOA also allow pets on a leash. Message the host before booking to confirm breed or size details.
ottawa.ca/en/parks-and-recreation/parks-and-greenspaceCan the RV be delivered to my campground near Richmond?
Yes, RV delivery in Richmond is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-time renters who would rather skip driving a 30-foot motorhome down Perth Street. Many local hosts will deliver and set up the trailer or motorhome at popular nearby campgrounds like Rideau River Provincial Park near Kemptville or Fitzroy Provincial Park, then walk you through every system before they leave. Just filter for Delivery on the search page, then message the host with your campground name and dates to confirm the fee, which varies by distance and RV type. Pro tip: delivery turns your campervan rental in Richmond into a true vacation; you arrive, the RV is leveled and ready, and you start the campfire.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Richmond%2C%20OntarioHow far can I travel from Richmond on an RV trip?
Richmond is a great launchpad for an Ontario RV road trip because you are within easy driving distance of dozens of destinations. Popular routes from Richmond include the Thousand Islands via Highway 416 (about 90 minutes south to Brockville), Algonquin Provincial Park (around 3 hours northwest), Sandbanks Provincial Park in Prince Edward County (about 2.5 hours southwest), Mont-Tremblant in Quebec (roughly 2.5 hours northeast), and historic Kingston (about 1.5 hours). Each RVezy host sets their own mileage policy, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is ideal for long loops. Always check the listing's daily kilometre allowance and message the host before booking if your itinerary is ambitious; many will happily customize.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Richmond%2C%20OntarioWhere are the best campgrounds near Richmond, ON?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping Richmond. The closest options include Sleepy Cedars Family Camping just south of the village with full hookups and a family-friendly vibe, Kittawa RV Resort with quiet wooded sites, and Cardinal/Ottawa South KOA Holiday about an hour southeast along the St. Lawrence with a pool and pull-throughs. For a provincial park experience, Rideau River Provincial Park near Kemptville (about 30 minutes away) offers electrical sites right on the Rideau River, and Fitzroy Provincial Park (about 45 minutes northwest) features beaches and forest trails. Book Ontario Parks sites up to five months ahead through the Ontario Parks reservation service, especially for July and August weekends.
ontarioparks.ca/reservationsWhen is the best time to take an RV trip from Richmond?
The sweet spot for a Richmond RV trip is late May through early October, with peak weather running from mid-June to early September when daytime highs sit between 22 and 28 degrees Celsius. July and August deliver classic warm Ottawa Valley camping with swimmable lakes and long evenings, but they're also the busiest at Ontario Parks. The shoulder seasons are an insider favourite: late May brings tulip-season day trips into Ottawa, and late September into early October paints the Gatineau Hills in red and gold, perfect for a leaf-peeping loop. Winter rentals do exist with cold-weather-ready RVs, but most Richmond hosts operate from May through mid-October. Pro tip: book your September dates early; locals know.
ontarioparks.ca/parksblogI've never rented an RV before. Is Richmond a good place to start?
Richmond is one of the best places in Ontario for first time renting an RV. The village sits on quiet rural roads with low traffic, you are surrounded by flat, easy-to-navigate countryside, and you can practice in real conditions before tackling Highway 417 or the bridges into Quebec. Every RVezy host provides a hands-on pickup walkthrough covering propane, water systems, leveling, and slide-outs, and they are a text away during your trip. If driving still feels intimidating, choose a Class B campervan rental in Richmond, which drives much like a large van, or book delivery so the RV is already at your campsite. The 24/7 roadside assistance included with every booking is your safety net.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if I have RV trouble on the road near Richmond?
Take a breath: you are never on your own. Every RV rental in Richmond booked through RVezy comes with 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the included protection plan, covering things like flat tires, battery boosts, lockouts, and tows. If something goes sideways on Highway 416 or out near Calabogie, you call the roadside line and they coordinate help to your exact location. Your host is also typically reachable by message for quick how-to questions like resetting the inverter or relighting the fridge. And RVezy's customer support team is available before, during, and after your trip, so there is a real human in your corner from booking to drop-off.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Richmond RV rental into the United States or Quebec?
Crossing into Quebec is easy and common: many guests drive from Richmond up to Gatineau Park or Mont-Tremblant in under three hours with no special paperwork beyond a Canadian or international driver's license. Heading into the U.S. (think Adirondacks or Lake Placid via the Ogdensburg or Cornwall border crossings) is allowed by many RVezy hosts, but you'll need to confirm with your host in writing before booking because cross-border travel affects insurance coverage. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental. Pro tip: bring your passport, vehicle ownership confirmation provided by the host, and proof of your RVezy booking to make the border experience smooth.
cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/menu-eng.htmlHow much should I budget for fuel on a Richmond RV trip?
Budgeting fuel for an RV road trip from Richmond is straightforward once you know the numbers. Class B campervans average about 11 to 14 litres per 100 km, Class C motorhomes around 18 to 22 litres per 100 km, and larger Class A motorhomes 25 plus. Ontario gas prices typically sit between $1.40 and $1.65 per litre, with stations along Perth Street and Highway 416 offering competitive pricing. For a 500 km Ottawa Valley loop in a Class C, plan roughly $150 to $200 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up at the Costco off Hunt Club Road in Ottawa before heading out, and use the GasBuddy app to spot cheaper stations along Highway 7 toward Perth and the Lanark Highlands.
oeb.ca/consumer-information-and-protection/gasoline-pricesHow far in advance should I book a campground near Richmond?
For provincial parks like Rideau River, Fitzroy, and Charleston Lake, Ontario Parks opens reservations exactly five months ahead of your arrival date at 7:00 a.m. ET, and popular summer weekends genuinely sell out within minutes. Book through the Ontario Parks reservation service online or by calling 1-888-ONT-PARK. Private campgrounds near Richmond like Sleepy Cedars and Cardinal/Ottawa South KOA are a bit more relaxed but still fill up quickly for July, August, and long weekends, so aim 2 to 3 months ahead. Pro tip: set a 6:59 a.m. alarm five months out, have your backup sites ready, and use Ontario Parks' availability notifications to grab last-minute cancellations.
ontarioparks.ca/reservations/rulesWhat are the roads like for driving an RV around Richmond?
Driving conditions around Richmond are genuinely RV-friendly. The village sits on quiet rural roads, and Highway 416 (the main corridor connecting Richmond to Ottawa and the 401) is a wide, modern, four-lane divided highway built specifically with truck and RV traffic in mind. Inside the City of Ottawa, stick to arterial roads like Hunt Club, Bank Street, and the 417 rather than narrow downtown streets, and watch for a couple of low underbridges in the ByWard Market area, where heights drop to about 3.6 metres. Winter conditions from December through March bring snow and ice, so most local RV rentals operate May through October. Pro tip: avoid the 417 during Ottawa rush hour, 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.
511on.ca/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Richmond?
Campgrounds near Richmond are well-equipped for a comfortable RV stay. Most private parks like Sleepy Cedars Family Camping and Cardinal/Ottawa South KOA offer full hookups (water, 30/50 amp electric, sewer), dump stations, potable water fills, washrooms with hot showers, laundry, Wi-Fi at the office area, and family extras like pools and playgrounds. Ontario Parks like Rideau River and Fitzroy provide electrical sites, comfort stations, and dump stations but no sewer hookups at individual sites, so you'll use the dump station on your way out. Pro tip: top up your fresh water tank before arrival, and remember Ontario Parks dump stations are included with your reservation; private parks may charge non-guests $10 to $20 to dump.
ontarioparks.ca/park/rideauriver/facilitiesWhat's actually inside the RVs available in Richmond?
You will be surprised how well-equipped modern RV rentals in Richmond are. Standard equipment across most RVezy listings includes a queen or king bed, a dinette and sofa that convert to extra sleeping for the kids, a full kitchen with fridge and freezer, propane stove, microwave, and sink, a bathroom with toilet and shower, air conditioning, propane furnace, and seatbelted seating for travel. Many motorhomes add a TV, awning, outdoor speakers, and a generator for off-grid stays, and most have onboard fresh, grey, and black water tanks so you are self-contained. Wi-Fi is usually BYO via your phone's hotspot. Filter by sleeps count and amenities to match your crew.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Richmond%2C%20OntarioWhat add-ons and options do Richmond hosts typically offer?
Richmond RV hosts offer a great range of add-ons to customize your trip. Common options include camping kitchen packages (pots, dishes, coffee maker), bedding and towel packs, outdoor chairs and a folding table, BBQs, bike racks, generators, and pre-stocked firewood, typically $25 to $75 each. Delivery and setup is popular (often $1 to $3 per km from Richmond), and many hosts include a generous daily mileage allowance with the option to pre-purchase extra kilometres at a discount. Pickup and dropoff times are usually flexible: the standard is afternoon pickup and morning return, but you can message the host to coordinate. Pro tip: bundle add-ons when you book; hosts often discount packages compared to a la carte.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Richmond%2C%20OntarioHow does payment and the security deposit work for an RV rental in Richmond?
Payment for your RV rental in Richmond is handled securely through RVezy, so you never hand cash or e-transfers to the host directly. When you book, you pay the rental total via credit card on the platform, which protects both you and the owner. A refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card a few days before your trip starts and released after a successful return with no damages, typically within a few business days. The exact deposit amount is shown on each listing before you confirm. Pro tip: do a quick walkaround video at pickup and dropoff and message any pre-existing scuffs to the host through RVezy chat. It keeps everything documented and the deposit return smooth.
