Camping near The Nation, Ontario
The Nation is a rural bilingual municipality in eastern Ontario's Prescott and Russell region, roughly 45 minutes east of downtown Ottawa and about 90 minutes west of Montreal. The landscape is farmland, hardwood bush, and low rolling hills, cut by the South Nation River and bordered to the north by the Ottawa River valley. It sits within easy reach of both the Ontario provincial park system and Quebec's Sépaq network across the river.
RV travellers use The Nation as a base for two very different kinds of trips: family resort camping at private parks with pools and hookups, and quieter nature stays close to wetlands and waterfront. Nearby options include Kittawa RV Resort in Limoges, Hammond Hill near Rockland, Rolling Hills Campground Ottawa, and Evergreen Camping Resort. Just across the Ottawa River in Quebec, Plaisance Provincial Park (Parc national de Plaisance) adds a Sépaq-run campground with river access.
Most sites are seasonal, opening in spring and closing by mid-fall, so trip timing matters.
Things to do around The Nation
Water and wetlands drive most itineraries. Located on a series of islands in the Ottawa River, the Parc national de Plaisance is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, particularly birdwatchers: over 250 species can be observed all year. The park offers easy hiking trails and a cycling route through the Outaouais, and at the Discovery and Visitors Centre, visitors can also rent rowboats and canoes.
Families traveling with kids often build the trip around Calypso, Canada's largest themed waterpark, which sits about five minutes from Kittawa RV Resort in Limoges. Ottawa's museums, ByWard Market, and Parliament Hill are a straightforward day trip. Closer to camp, expect farm stands, cycling on quiet county roads, and fishing on the South Nation and Ottawa rivers.

Michael is a great host, pick up and drop off were super easy and smooth. He gives a great rundown of all the functions of the rv for first timers. The memory wagon is a great RV for your group or family, lots of sleeping space and the truck runs really well, will definitely be booking again in the future!

How to book a site near The Nation
Private parks in the area use their own reservation systems, most often through Campspot or a direct website. Kittawa RV Resort books through Campspot and lists pull-through sites, full-hookup RV sites, and rental cottages. Hammond Hill, the eco-experience and wilderness retreat in Hammond, features campsites, cabins, and yurts and takes bookings through Campspot and its own website. Evergreen Camping Resort and Rolling Hills Campground Ottawa accept reservations through their own websites and hold a share of inventory for seasonal renters, so transient sites can be limited.
Plaisance Provincial Park is operated by Sépaq, Quebec's provincial park agency, and reservations go through the Sépaq website or call centre. For summer weekends and holidays, book several weeks ahead at any park in this corridor, and earlier for waterfront or full-hookup sites.
What to expect on arrival
Check-in at private parks is typically mid-afternoon with a noon checkout. Kittawa RV Resort uses a 3:00 p.m. check-in and 12:00 p.m. checkout, and other family resorts in the area follow similar patterns. Expect a gate or office stop for wristbands, a site map, and quiet-hours rules. Most family resorts in the area have a strong seasonal-camper community, so weekend evenings can be lively until quiet hours begin.
RV drivers should note that county and rural roads leading to sites are paved but narrow, with tight turns in some village cores. Cell coverage is generally solid near Highway 417 and thins in the wetlands around Plaisance. Bring insect repellent for spring and early summer, and layers for cool nights that persist into June and return by early September.
