We spent four nights at Canisbay Lake Campground in Jeremy’s RV and had a fantastic experience. The RV was very spacious, spotless, and looked almost brand new. It had two bathrooms, a TV, and a well-stocked kitchen with everything we needed. Jeremy also provided mattress toppers for all the beds, plenty of chairs, and two outdoor BBQs, one of which was brand new. He truly went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We would gladly rent from him again and highly recommend him.

Another great rental with Jeremy. Really appreciate the drop off and pick up service. This is our 3rd year renting the same RV for racing at CTMP. Highly recommend!

RV rentals and campgrounds for VARAC Vintage Grand Prix

Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, , CA

Getting to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park by RV starts with Highway 401 East out of Toronto, a straightforward drive of about a hundred kilometers to Exit 431 at Waverley Road in Bowmanville. From there, head north on Regional Road 57 for roughly 18 kilometers, watching for the Mosport signage that marks your turn toward the track entrance on Concession Road 10. The approach roads are wide and rig-friendly, so a motorhome or trailer combo handles the final stretch without trouble, though you will want to slow down for the turns near the Mosport sign. Once inside the gates, staff direct RVs and trailers to designated paddock and camping areas near the skidpad, Corners 2 and 2a, or the Family Area by the karting track, so follow the marshals rather than guessing at a spot. Public access typically opens Thursday morning, which gives you time to get your rig leveled and set up before the racing weekend kicks off. Keep in mind the site sits in a rural area with no public transit options, so arriving self-contained in your RV is the easiest way to see the whole event without shuttling back and forth.

Frequently asked questions about renting an RV for VARAC Vintage Grand Prix

When does the VARAC Vintage Grand Prix take place, and how many days does it run?

Good news, you can pencil this one in well ahead: the VARAC Vintage Grand Prix takes place every mid-June at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, usually timed to Father's Day weekend. The event runs multiple days, with the track opening to the public on Thursday morning and vintage racing continuing through Sunday afternoon, including the Kastner Cup and the MG versus Triumph Challenge. That gives you a full long weekend to explore the paddock, catch practice sessions, and settle into your campsite before the main crowd arrives. Exact dates are confirmed each year on the official Canadian Tire Motorsport Park site, so bookmark it once the season is announced and plan your RV trip around the full four days for the best value.

How much does it cost to attend the VARAC Vintage Grand Prix, and where do I get in?

You will be glad to hear entry is simple and budget-friendly: weekend and single-day passes are sold directly through Canadian Tire Motorsport Park's official site, with kids 16 and under admitted free alongside a paying adult. Camping passes for tents, trailers, and RVs are sold separately and cover your spot for the whole event, so plan to add that when you buy your entry pass. Pricing is confirmed and updated each season on the official site since it can shift slightly year to year. Book early, popular camping spots near the skidpad and Corners 2 and 2a tend to fill first, and pairing an early purchase with your RV rental means you can lock in your exact race weekend without last-minute scrambling.

How do I get my RV to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, and is there parking for it?

Driving in is easier than it sounds: from Toronto, you take Highway 401 East about a hundred kilometers to Exit 431 at Waverley Road in Bowmanville, then follow Regional Road 57 north and watch for the signed turn near the Mosport entrance. Once you arrive, the paddock area is set up specifically for large rigs, RVs, trailers, and campers, so you are not squeezed in alongside compact cars. Marshals direct RVs toward designated camping zones near the skidpad, Corners 2 and 2a, or the Family Area by the karting track. Arrive on the Thursday public opening if you want first pick of a trackside spot, and give yourself extra time for the final stretch of rural road leading up to the gates.

What actually happens at the VARAC Vintage Grand Prix, is it just cars driving in a circle?

Far from it, this is a full weekend of motorsport history in motion: vintage and historic race cars from the 1950s through the 2000s compete on Mosport's legendary Grand Prix circuit, headlined by races like the Kastner Cup for Triumph-powered cars and the MG versus Triumph Challenge. Open-wheel fans get the Toyo Tires F1600 Championship on the same schedule, and Sunday adds a Field of Dreams car show that brings even more classic vehicles onto the grounds for static viewing. Between sessions, a vendor marketplace and food trucks keep the paddock lively, and admission includes paddock access so you can walk right up to the cars and teams. Plan to spend a full day at minimum, most fans find the whole weekend flies by.

What is the weather like in mid-June, and what should I pack for the event?

You are timing your trip well: mid-June in this part of Ontario usually brings warm, sunny days in the low-to-mid 20s Celsius, with cooler mornings and evenings that catch first-timers off guard. Pack layers, a hat, and sunscreen for the afternoon sun on the open track areas, plus a light jacket for cool nights if you are camping. Bring rain gear just in case, an early summer shower is always possible even on a mostly sunny weekend. Comfortable closed-toe shoes make walking the paddock and camping areas much easier than sandals. If you are staying in your RV, pack extra bedding for cooler nights since dry campsites do not include heating hookups, and you will be glad you did once the sun goes down over the circuit.

Is the VARAC Vintage Grand Prix a good event to bring kids to?

Absolutely, this is one of the more family-friendly motorsport weekends on the calendar: kids 16 and under get in free with a paying adult, which makes it easy to bring the whole family without ticket costs stacking up. The Sunday Field of Dreams car show is a hit with younger visitors who want to see classic cars up close without the noise of live racing. Camping areas near the karting track have a dedicated Family Area, and the washroom and shower facilities near Corners 1 and 2 sit close to playgrounds to keep younger kids entertained between races. Bring ear protection for little ones near the track, the vintage engines run loud, and you will have a weekend the kids remember long after the cars go quiet.

Can I bring my own food and drinks, or do I have to buy everything on site?

Bring what you like: outside food and beverages, including alcohol, are welcome at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, so packing a cooler for your campsite is completely fine. The one firm rule is no glass containers, so decant wine or swap glass bottles for cans before you arrive. If you would rather not cook, the on-site vendor marketplace and food trucks run throughout the event weekend, serving everything from festival classics to something sweet between races. Having your own RV kitchen is a real advantage here, you can start the morning with a proper breakfast before walking over to the paddock, then relax with a home-cooked dinner instead of another round of food truck lines after a long day of racing.

Will my rented RV be allowed in, or are there size and type restrictions?

Good news for RV renters: Canadian Tire Motorsport Park welcomes tents, pop-up trailers, hard-sided trailers, and motorhomes of all sizes, with no size limitations on the RVs allowed into the camping areas. Dry camping is the norm across the grounds, meaning there are no electric or water hookups at your site, so plan to arrive with a full water tank and a charged battery bank. Generators are permitted, but only between 8 am and 11 pm, so factor that into your evening plans if you are running AC or charging devices. A designated grey-water disposal area in the infield makes it easy to empty tanks properly during your stay, keeping the whole camping area clean for everyone parked around you.

Can I have an RV delivered straight to Bowmanville instead of driving one there myself?

Yes, and it is a great option if you would rather skip towing a rig on the 401: searching RVezy for Bowmanville, Ontario with delivery enabled turns up local hosts in the Clarington and Bowmanville area who will bring the RV to a campsite, your driveway, or another approved spot and handle setup, leveling, and utility hookups for you. That means you can travel in light, then step into a fully set-up RV once you arrive near the track. If a specific host is not available for the exact dates you want, widening the search to nearby Oshawa often turns up additional options within easy reach of Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. Booking early gives you the best pick of hosts before the event weekend fills the local calendar.

Is on-site RV camping actually worth it, or should I stay somewhere off-site?

On-site camping is where this event really shines: you can park your RV within walking distance of the circuit near the skidpad, Corners 2 and 2a, or the Family Area by the karting track, and hear the cars fire up without ever getting in your vehicle again that weekend. Two full-service washroom and shower locations, one near Corners 1 and 2 and another by the Canadian Tire Bridge near Corner 8, keep things comfortable even though sites are dry camping without hookups. Trackside camping also means you skip the daily drive and parking search that off-site guests deal with every morning. If you want the full VARAC experience, from morning coffee to the last race of the day, booking your RV rental with on-site camping in mind is the way to go.

If I don't want to camp, are there hotels near Canadian Tire Motorsport Park?

You have options: Bowmanville, along with nearby Oshawa and Courtice, has a range of hotels within a short drive of the track for anyone who would rather sleep off-site. That said, most VARAC regulars choose on-site RV camping instead, since it cuts out the daily commute back to the track each morning and lets you stay close to the paddock energy after the day's racing wraps up. If you do book a hotel, reserve early, rooms in the immediate area book up quickly once the event weekend is set. Either way, renting an RV gives you the flexibility to camp trackside or use it as your base if you are splitting time between the track and a hotel stay.

Is Canadian Tire Motorsport Park accessible if I or someone in my group has mobility needs?

You should be able to enjoy the event comfortably: the Grand Prix Track Event Centre has vehicle-accessible main doors and is fully accessible by elevator, making it a solid home base for anyone who needs step-free access during the weekend. Because the venue is spread across a large rural circuit, some paddock and camping areas involve walking or uneven ground, so it helps to plan your RV camping spot as close as possible to the main facilities. Reaching out to the venue directly ahead of your visit lets you confirm accessible parking placement near your preferred viewing area. Planning your RV site early gives you the most control over how close you park to the accessible facilities you need.

This is my first VARAC Vintage Grand Prix, what should I know before I go?

First-timers usually do best when they arrive early: the track opens to the public on Thursday morning, so getting there right at opening gives you first pick of a camping spot near the skidpad or Corners 2 and 2a before the weekend crowd arrives. Walk the paddock early in the day when teams are prepping cars, it is one of the best parts of this event and gets busier as race times approach. Bring cash or a card for the vendor marketplace and food trucks, comfortable shoes for walking the grounds, and ear protection if you plan to stand close to the track during sessions. Do not skip the Sunday Field of Dreams car show, it is a highlight even for visitors who came mainly for the racing.

Are there rules I need to know about for camping and general safety on site?

Nothing complicated here: outside food and drinks are welcome, but glass containers are not allowed anywhere on the grounds, so stick to cans or transfer drinks before you arrive. Drones, unlicensed motorized vehicles like ATVs and golf carts, and fireworks are also prohibited for everyone's safety around the track and camping areas. If you are running a generator at your site, keep it to the permitted window of 8 am to 11 pm so neighboring campers get a quiet night too. Use the designated grey-water disposal area in the infield rather than dumping tanks elsewhere on the property. Following these few straightforward rules keeps the whole trackside camping community running smoothly all weekend long.

What kind of support do I get from RVezy if something goes wrong during my trip to VARAC?

Renting for a big trackside weekend like VARAC feels a lot less stressful knowing RVezy has your back the whole way: every booking is backed by RVezy's customer service team and optional protection plans, so if something comes up with your rig mid-trip, you are not on your own out at the track. The RVezy mobile app keeps your booking details, host messages, and trip information in one place, handy when you are deep in a rural area with spotty signal near Canadian Tire Motorsport Park. If an issue does come up, RVezy's Help Center walks you through next steps for support, refunds, or changes. That kind of backup means you can focus on the racing, not on worst-case scenarios.
