Camping near Tavistock, Ontario
Tavistock sits in Oxford County in southwestern Ontario, roughly midway between Stratford and Kitchener-Waterloo. The surrounding countryside is farmland and dairy country crossed by the Nith River and Thames River watersheds, and campgrounds cluster along both river valleys and the shores of Wildwood Lake to the southwest.
Most options within a short drive are private, family-run RV parks with full hookups, pools, and playgrounds. The largest public option is Wildwood Conservation Area near St. Marys, managed by the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority. Closer to town, Nith River Campground sits on the banks of the Nith River just north of New Hamburg, while Happy Hills Family Campground and Lakeside Resort are grouped near Wildwood Lake.
Highway 401 runs south of Tavistock and provides quick access from Toronto, London, and the U.S. border crossings at Sarnia and Windsor, which makes the area a practical base for RV renters combining a Stratford Festival trip with lake and river camping.
Things to do around Tavistock
Wildwood Conservation Area anchors outdoor activity in the region, with a seven-kilometre reservoir for boating, roughly 30 kilometres of hike and mountain-bike trails, a swim beach, and seasonal canoe and kayak rentals. Fishing is popular for bass, pike, and panfish, and the conservation authority also allows controlled hunting outside camping season.
Off the water, day trips run to the Stratford Festival theatres, the St. Jacobs farmers' market, and the Mennonite countryside around New Hamburg. Family campgrounds add their own on-site amenities: Happy Hills Family Campground has multiple heated pools including an indoor pool, mini golf, a nine-hole golf course, driving range, and a petting zoo, while Willow Lake Campground and RV Park offers a pool, mini golf, and an arcade.

Most private campgrounds in the Tavistock area open in early May and close around Thanksgiving weekend in mid-October. Nith River Campground and Happy Hills Family Campground both run roughly May through mid-October, and Wildwood Conservation Area operates on a similar seasonal calendar with camping in the warm months and paddle-craft rentals available through the summer.
July and August are the busiest weeks. Long weekends (Victoria Day, Canada Day, the August civic holiday, and Labour Day) sell out earliest, and multi-night minimums are common on those weekends. Booking eight or more weeks in advance is standard for peak summer, and some seasonal-heavy parks accept overnight reservations up to a year in advance.
Late spring and early fall are quieter and cooler, with fall colour peaking in the Thames Valley in early to mid-October. Winter camping options are limited: Upper Thames River conservation areas close for the season, and most private parks shut down services once overnight temperatures drop below freezing.

Arthur’s RV was exactly as described! The process was flawless. Pick up was easy and the walkthrough was thorough for someone who used an RV once before almost a decade ago. The RV itself was clean, included everything you’ll need to go camping including extras. I’d definitely rent again from Arthur.

Henry and Linda contributed to us having a great experience. They have excellent communication and detailed explanations on how to use and enjoy their RV Winnebago. Very quick to reply on any questions we had from the beginning of picking an RV to questions during our trip. It was indeed a pleasure renting from them.
Murray B. - Sep 2026
Henry and Linda were very nice, courteous, and helpful people. Henry responded quickly to our messages and was always easy to reach. During the handover, he explained everything important in detail and gave us a thorough orientation on the motorhome. The motorhome itself was very clean, tidy, and reliable. We took a lovely trip to Tobermory and were able to enjoy the beautiful area in a relaxed way. Many thanks to Henry and Linda for the great experience—we would rent the motorhome again anytime and can highly recommend them!
