Camping near Val Rita-Harty
Val Rita-Harty is a small township in Ontario's Cochrane District, sitting along Highway 11 between Opasatika and Kapuskasing in the northeastern boreal region. The surrounding landscape is Clay Belt terrain: flat to gently rolling, forested with black spruce, jack pine, aspen and birch, and dotted with lakes, rivers and wetlands. RV travellers use the area as a stopover on the Trans-Canada route or as a base for lake fishing and paddling trips.
Campgrounds are spread out and generally small. Twin Lakes Camping offers a nearby drive-in option, while Rene Brunelle Provincial Park, about a half hour east on Remi Lake near Moonbeam, is the main developed campground with electrical sites, sandy beaches and boat access. Missinaibi Outfitters, based downriver in Mattice, supports paddlers heading into Missinaibi Provincial Park.
Expect quiet nights, dark skies and long distances between services. Fuel, groceries and RV supplies are easiest to find in nearby Kapuskasing.
Things to do near Val Rita-Harty
Fishing and paddling drive most trips in this area. Remi Lake, at Rene Brunelle Provincial Park, produces walleye, northern pike and smallmouth bass, and the park rents motorboats, canoes, kayaks, pedal boats, stand-up paddleboards and bikes. Four sandy beaches on Remi Lake make it a practical choice for families travelling with kids.
Hikers can walk two short interpretive trails inside Rene Brunelle. The La Vigilance Trail near Phipps Point follows the shoreline and tells the story of a 1922 bush pilot plane crash and early floatplane use on the lake, while the Spruce Lowland Trail passes through classic boreal forest and a black ash stand near the northern edge of its range.
For a bigger trip, Missinaibi Outfitters in Mattice arranges canoe rentals, shuttles and gear for multi-day routes on the Missinaibi River, a heritage waterway running north toward James Bay.

The camping window in this part of northern Ontario is short. Rene Brunelle Provincial Park typically opens in mid-May and closes in late September for camping and day use, with roofed accommodation running slightly longer into mid-October. Twin Lakes Camping and other private grounds follow a similar frost-defined season. In winter the park stays open for day use only, including a small ski hill.
June through August is the busiest stretch. Long daylight hours, warm afternoons and reliable swimming conditions on Remi Lake pull in weekend traffic, and long-weekend dates fill early. Blackflies peak in late May and June, followed by mosquitoes through midsummer, so bug spray and screen rooms are essential.
September brings cooler nights, thinner crowds and boreal fall colour. Paddlers heading onto the Missinaibi should plan around low water and colder river temperatures late in the season, and watch fire ban updates during dry stretches.

How to book near Val Rita-Harty
Rene Brunelle Provincial Park is reserved through the Ontario Parks reservation system, online or by phone, with a five-month rolling booking window that opens at 7 a.m. Eastern Time. Sites can also be booked by calling the park directly. Long weekends in July and August book out quickly, so target the reservation opening date if a specific site matters. The park has 105 campsites, the majority with electrical service, plus a group site and a rustic camp cabin.
Twin Lakes Camping is a smaller private operation and is booked directly with the campground. Missinaibi Outfitters handles canoe rentals, shuttles and trip logistics on request rather than through a reservation portal. For any option, confirm rig length, hookup type and check-in hours before arrival.
What to expect on site
Sites at Rene Brunelle are generally large with good tree cover between them and can accommodate longer trailers and Class A rigs. A central comfort station has flush toilets, hot showers and laundry, and a dump station is available on site. Cell coverage can be patchy inside the park loops.
Private grounds like Twin Lakes Camping tend to be simpler: gravel pads, basic hookups where offered, and a quieter, more rustic feel. Firewood is usually sold on site, and outside firewood is restricted to help prevent pest spread.
Wildlife is active. Bears, moose and beavers all live in the region, so store food inside the RV, keep sites clean and give animals wide space on roads at dawn and dusk.
