Rick was always quick to respond to any questions I had. RV was in great condition. Everything worked as it should. Drove a little over 1000 miles (1,600Km) on $650 of fuel (paid avg $1.48/l) Made some great memories for my son and my parents. Wouldn't hesitate to rent from Rick again.

We had a family of 5 in this RV for 4 nights. It was everything we needed to sleep and rest comfortably. We were lucky the weather was great throughout our entire trip so we spent all our time outdoors, including cooking and eating. It would have felt a little snug for a family our size if the weather had forced us indoors for extended periods.

RV camping near Calabogie Motorsports Park
The Summer Classic Race Weekend takes place at Calabogie Motorsports Park in late summer, typically over a three day weekend in late August, drawing racers and fans to the longest road course in Canada. Multiple racing series share the 5.05 kilometre, 20 turn circuit over the weekend, from vintage historic touring cars to open wheel Formula machines, with practice and qualifying on Saturday morning followed by racing through Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday. Warm summer days and cooler evenings are typical for the Ottawa Valley at this time of year, and the open paddock atmosphere lets spectators walk right up to the cars between sessions. Spectator areas near Turn 16, the track's fastest corner, offer some of the most exciting views in Canadian motorsport.
Just an hour west of Ottawa, Calabogie makes an easy weekend getaway, with camping available right at the track and Calabogie's Lakeside Camping and RV Resort offering serviced sites minutes away on Lake Calabogie. Renting an RV for the trip means you can set your own schedule, arriving Friday for free practice and staying through the final laps on Sunday without watching a clock for checkout. Parking your rig close to the paddock keeps you steps from the action, so there is no shuttle to catch or long walk back to a hotel after a long day trackside. Your RV also brings the comforts of home, a real bed, your own kitchen, and a private bathroom, right into the heart of the racing action. Traveling this way often costs less than separate lodging and transportation, and it puts you alongside other motorsport fans camping out for the same weekend of racing. For anyone who loves both the open road and the open track, an RV is the natural way to experience the Summer Classic Race Weekend.

Calabogie Motorsports Park, Greater Madawaska, ON, CA
Reaching Calabogie Motorsports Park in your RV starts with heading west out of Ottawa on the Trans-Canada Highway, Highway 17, a wide, well-maintained route that comfortably handles larger rigs. Near the McNab and Braeside area, watch for the turn onto Route 508, clearly signed for Calabogie, and follow it through rolling Ottawa Valley countryside into the village. As you enter Calabogie, turn onto Highway 511, then watch for Wilson Farm Road a few kilometres further on, which leads directly to the track entrance. The drive from downtown Ottawa takes roughly an hour, mostly on quiet two-lane highways with plenty of passing room for a motorhome or trailer. Once you arrive, expansive on-site parking accommodates thousands of vehicles, so you can pull your RV in, park, and walk straight to the grandstands or paddock. If you have booked one of the on-site dry camping sites, follow the signage to the back parking lot where race weekend camping spots are set up.

Frequently asked questions about renting an RV for Summer Classic Race Weekend
When does the Summer Classic Race Weekend usually take place at Calabogie Motorsports Park, and how many days should I plan for?
Good news, dates fall in a predictable window every year: the Summer Classic Race Weekend runs across three days, typically over a weekend in late August at Calabogie Motorsports Park. Racing kicks off with practice sessions on Friday, and the main event unfolds Saturday and Sunday. Because it is a multi-day event, plan your RV trip to arrive Thursday or Friday so you can settle in before the track gets busy. The official Calabogie Motorsports Park site confirms exact dates each year, so check there once the schedule is posted and lock in your RV rental early. Staying the full weekend in your rig means you catch every session from Friday's free practice laps through Sunday's closing races, without the hassle of driving back and forth.
calabogiemotorsports.com/summer-classic-race-weekend/How much does it cost to attend the Summer Classic Race Weekend, and where do I get admission?
You do not need to worry about cost blowing your budget. This event stays affordable, with a single day pass and a full weekend pass covering all three days of racing, plus free entry for children under 12 accompanied by a paying adult. Friday's practice and qualifying sessions are typically open at no charge, a great way to ease into the weekend before the main races start. Passes are sold directly through the official Calabogie Motorsports Park website and at the gate, so you can book online ahead of time or simply pay upon arrival. Note that RVezy does not sell event admission, so purchase yours through the track's official channels. Grab your pass online early since prices tend to rise closer to race day.
calabogiemotorsports.com/summer-classic-race-weekend/What is the best way to drive my RV to Calabogie Motorsports Park for the Summer Classic Race Weekend?
Getting there in your RV is easier than you might think. From Ottawa, head west on the Trans-Canada Highway, Highway 17, then turn onto Route 508, well signed for Calabogie, and follow it into town. From there, turn onto Highway 511, then onto Wilson Farm Road, which leads directly to the track entrance about 4 kilometres outside the village. The drive from downtown Ottawa takes roughly an hour, mostly on well maintained two lane highways that comfortably handle larger rigs. Ample on-site parking accommodates thousands of vehicles, including RVs, so you will find a spot without circling for long. Arrive early Saturday and Sunday mornings, since parking near the main grandstand fills up fastest during peak race sessions.
calabogiemotorsports.com/summer-classic-race-weekend/What racing and activities can I expect to see at the Summer Classic Race Weekend?
Get ready for a jam-packed weekend of wheel to wheel action. The Summer Classic brings together multiple racing series on Calabogie's 5.05 kilometre road course, Canada's longest, including vintage historic touring cars, open wheel Formula machines, and production based touring cars, all sharing the same action packed schedule. Saturday mornings are reserved for practice and qualifying, with racing running Saturday afternoon through all day Sunday. Open paddock access lets you walk right up to the cars and meet the drivers between sessions, which makes the event especially fun for motorsport fans traveling with family. Spectator areas near Turn 16, the track's fastest corner, offer some of the best views in Canadian racing. Bring a folding chair and plan to spend the whole day trackside.
calabogiemotorsports.com/summer-classic-race-weekend/What is the weather like at Calabogie in late summer, and what should I pack for the Summer Classic Race Weekend?
Late summer in the Ottawa Valley is one of the most pleasant times to camp trackside. Expect warm, sunny days that are comfortable for spending hours in the grandstands, along with cooler evenings perfect for relaxing outside your RV after the last race wraps up. Since the event runs rain or shine, pack a light rain jacket just in case, along with sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses for the open grandstand areas. Comfortable closed-toe shoes are a smart choice if you plan to explore the paddock. Because your RV gives you a place to retreat to if a shower rolls through, you can enjoy the full schedule without worrying about the forecast ruining your day.
calabogiemotorsports.com/summer-classic-race-weekend/Is the Summer Classic Race Weekend a good event to bring my kids to?
Absolutely, this is a family-friendly weekend through and through. Children under 12 get free admission when accompanied by a paying adult, so bringing the whole crew will not strain your budget. Kids tend to love the open paddock access, where they can get close to the race cars and meet drivers between sessions, plus the roar of Formula and vintage touring cars is a thrill for young motorsport fans. There is no minimum age to attend, though hearing protection is a smart idea for little ones given the noise trackside. Traveling in your RV makes the day easier too, since you have a quiet space nearby for naps or breaks from the sun. Pack some snacks and let the kids enjoy a full day of racing.
calabogiemotorsports.com/summer-classic-race-weekend/Will there be food and drinks available at Calabogie Motorsports Park during the race weekend?
You will not go hungry trackside. On-site food vendors typically operate throughout the Summer Classic Race Weekend, serving up classic trackside fare so you can refuel between racing sessions without leaving the grounds. Since specific vendor lineups can change year to year, it is worth packing a cooler with drinks and snacks in your RV as a backup, especially handy for long days that start with Saturday morning practice and run into the evening. Having your own kitchen on wheels means you can also make a full breakfast before heading to the grandstands or unwind with a proper dinner after the checkered flag. The village of Calabogie also has local restaurants nearby if you want to venture out for a meal.
calabogiemotorsports.com/summer-classic-race-weekend/Are all types of RVs allowed at the Summer Classic Race Weekend, or are there size restrictions?
The venue's expansive grounds welcome a wide range of RVs, from compact camper vans to larger Class A motorhomes and travel trailers. The parking areas at Calabogie Motorsports Park accommodate thousands of vehicles, giving bigger rigs plenty of room to maneuver and park comfortably. If you plan to use the on-site dry camping sites, spaces are sized at 20 by 50 feet, which fits most RVs and tow vehicles, though it is worth confirming your rig's dimensions fit comfortably within that footprint. There are no strict class restrictions for general parking, but arriving early gives you first pick of the most convenient spot for your size of RV.
calabogiemotorsports.com/summer-classic-race-weekend/Can I get an RV delivered directly to the Summer Classic Race Weekend instead of driving one myself?
Yes, delivery is a real option for this event. A search on RVezy for Calabogie, Ontario with delivery enabled turns up RVs based right in Calabogie, and RVezy hosts across the wider region can deliver a fully set up trailer or motorhome to your campsite so you skip towing altogether. Delivery fees are calculated based on your exact address, so you will see the cost before you book. This is a great option if you would rather drive a regular vehicle to the Ottawa Valley and have your home base waiting for you at the track. Once you find a listing you like, message the host to confirm they can deliver near Calabogie Motorsports Park for race weekend.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Calabogie, Ontario&DeliveryIs there RV camping available right at Calabogie Motorsports Park, or nearby?
You have options both on-site and just down the road. Calabogie Motorsports Park offers on-site dry camping in its expanded back parking lot, with 20 by 50 foot unserviced sites available for the full race weekend, perfect if you want to be steps from the action. These sites are self-sufficient, so bring water and power for your rig. If you would rather have full hookups, Calabogie's Lakeside Camping and RV Resort sits just outside town on Lake Calabogie and offers serviced sites with a beach and playground, a relaxing home base after a day of racing. Either way, booking your RV rental and campsite early is smart since race weekend fills up fast.
campinginontario.ca/CalabogiesLakesideCampingandRVResortWhat lodging options are near Calabogie Motorsports Park if I want to stay close to the track?
You have a good range of choices within a short drive of the track. On-site dry camping puts you right at Calabogie Motorsports Park, while Calabogie's Lakeside Camping and RV Resort offers serviced RV sites and cabins just outside the village on Lake Calabogie, only minutes away. The village of Calabogie also has motels and small inns for anyone traveling without an RV, and Ottawa, about an hour east, has a full range of hotels if you prefer a bigger city base. Booking an RV lets you skip the search for a room entirely, since your bed, kitchen, and bathroom travel with you right to the track. Reserve early, since race weekend draws visitors from across the region.
campinginontario.ca/CalabogiesLakesideCampingandRVResortAre there accessibility services available for spectators with mobility needs at the Summer Classic Race Weekend?
You are welcome at Calabogie Motorsports Park regardless of mobility needs, and the grounds are set up to help you enjoy the racing comfortably. Viewing areas near the main grandstand and paddock generally allow for wheelchair and mobility device access, and on-site parking is close enough to the action that you will not face a long trek to the fence line. If you have specific accessibility questions, such as reserved parking or seating near a particular corner, reach out to Calabogie Motorsports Park directly ahead of race weekend so staff can point you to the easiest viewing spots for your needs. Traveling by RV also means you always have an accessible, familiar space to retreat to nearby.
calabogiemotorsports.com/summer-classic-race-weekend/What should first-time attendees know before bringing an RV to the Summer Classic Race Weekend?
First timers are in for a treat, and a little planning makes it even better. Arrive Friday if you can, since free practice sessions let you settle into your RV spot and scope out the paddock before the crowds build for Saturday and Sunday racing. Bring cash or a card for gate admission and food vendors, pack layers for warm days and cooler evenings, and grab a folding chair for trackside viewing near Turn 16, one of the fastest and most exciting corners on the circuit. Walking the open paddock between sessions is a highlight, so budget extra time for that. Booking your RV rental and camping spot well ahead of the weekend is the single best tip for a stress-free first visit.
calabogiemotorsports.com/summer-classic-race-weekend/Are there safety rules or restrictions I should know about before attending in my RV?
Safety at Calabogie Motorsports Park is well organized, so you can relax and enjoy the racing. Spectator areas keep you a safe distance from the racing surface with clear sightlines, and event staff and marshals are stationed around the circuit throughout the weekend. The event runs rain or shine with no refunds, so treat changing weather as part of the fun and pack accordingly. Follow the posted signage at the gate for any restricted items, and ask staff at admission about re-entry if you need to step back to your RV during the day. Keeping your RV parked in the designated area rather than trackside keeps things running smoothly for everyone, so you can focus on cheering for your favorite cars.
calabogiemotorsports.com/summer-classic-race-weekend/How does RVezy support me if something goes wrong with my RV rental during the Summer Classic Race Weekend?
