Campgrounds and RV parks near Temagami, ON

Temagami sits at the edge of a vast canoe country in northeastern Ontario, roughly a five-hour drive north of Toronto on Highway 11. The town is a practical base for RV travellers heading into the Temagami region's interconnected lakes and old-growth pine forest, with both provincial park campgrounds and private operators strung along the highway corridor. Finlayson Point Provincial Park is the only organized campground directly on Lake Temagami, offering electrical sites, sandy beaches, and a boat launch just south of town. Marten River Provincial Park, located south of Temagami near the hamlet of Marten River, offers lakeside camping and serves as the southern gateway to the Temagami region. Happy Holiday Campground And Cottages sits north of town and caters to RVs and trailers, while Portage Bay Lodge and Maiden Bay Camp round out the private options in the surrounding area. Most sites in the region are seasonal, opening in mid-May and closing by late September or mid-October. RV travellers should plan for a mix of electrical hook-up sites and rustic sites without water or sewer connections.

Finlayson Point and Marten River are both booked through the Ontario Parks reservation system at reservations.ontarioparks.ca or by phone at 1-888-ONT-PARK. Car campgrounds open their reservation window at 7 a.m. ET, five months in advance of your arrival date. Availability notifications alert you when a campsite matching your search criteria opens up, which is useful once popular weekends have sold out. RV travellers should filter for electrical hook-up sites at both provincial parks, since only a portion of sites at each park have power. Private campgrounds in the Temagami area, including Happy Holiday Campground And Cottages, Portage Bay Lodge, and Maiden Bay Camp, are booked directly by phone or through their own websites and often hold seasonal sites through the summer, so daily and weekly availability can be limited on long weekends.
