Campgrounds and RV parks near Springfield, ON

Springfield is a small community in the Township of Malahide, Elgin County, in southwestern Ontario. It sits inland from the north shore of Lake Erie, roughly between Aylmer, Tillsonburg, and St. Thomas, with London about 40 minutes to the northwest. The area is farm country, flat to gently rolling, and served by Highway 3 (the Talbot Line) and county roads that connect to Highway 401. RV travellers use Springfield as a base for Lake Erie beach parks, the Long Point area, and the London region. Private RV parks in the surrounding townships handle most overnight and seasonal camping, while Ontario Parks operates the closest provincial campground at Port Burwell on the lakeshore. Closest options include Spring Lake RV Resort near Mount Elgin, Golden Pond RV Resort in Mossley, Camper's Corner RV Campground on the east side of London, Red Oak Travel Park in Bayham, and Centennial Park Camping in Ingersoll. Together they cover full-hookup family resorts, transient overnight sites, and small municipal camping.

Port Burwell Provincial Park is booked through the Ontario Parks reservation system, which opens sites up to five months before the arrival date at 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Weekend and long-weekend dates in July and August book quickly, so setting a reminder for the five-month opening is the surest way to secure a site. Reservations must be made in the name of the person occupying the campsite. Private parks handle bookings directly. Spring Lake RV Resort, Golden Pond RV Resort, Camper's Corner RV Campground, Red Oak Travel Park, and Centennial Park Camping each take reservations by phone or through their own websites. Several are heavily seasonal, so the pool of transient sites is limited and should be booked early for summer weekends.
