Things to do at Point Pelee National Park
- Walk to the Tip Easy
The Tip is the southernmost point of mainland Canada, reached by a short walk from the seasonal shuttle drop-off. It is the top spot for watching migrating birds funnel down the peninsula in spring and fall. parkscanada.gc.ca/en/pn-np/on/pelee
- Marsh Boardwalk EasyRV parking available
The Marsh Boardwalk is a one-kilometre floating loop through Point Pelee's expansive cattail marsh with an observation tower. A dedicated trail map for the Marsh Boardwalk is published by Parks Canada, and the parking area accommodates larger vehicles. parkscanada.gc.ca/en/pn-np/on/pelee/visit/cartes-maps
- Birdwatching during spring migration EasyRV parking available
Point Pelee is one of North America's premier birding destinations, especially in May when warblers and other songbirds concentrate along the peninsula. The park hosts the annual Festival of Birds with guided walks and programs.
- Monarch butterfly viewing EasyRV parking available
In early fall, monarch butterflies stage at Point Pelee before crossing Lake Erie on their way to Mexico. The park's south-facing peninsula concentrates roosting butterflies in trees near the Tip, offering exceptional viewing.
- DeLaurier Homestead and Trail EasyRV parking available
The DeLaurier Homestead is a preserved pioneer farm site connected to a short interpretive loop through Carolinian forest and old fields. Parks Canada publishes a dedicated trail map for the DeLaurier Homestead to Visitor Centre route. parkscanada.gc.ca/en/pn-np/on/pelee/visit/cartes-maps
- Cycling the park road EasyRV parking available
The main park road runs the length of the peninsula and is popular for cycling, with bike rentals available seasonally. Riding lets visitors reach the Tip area and pullouts without competing for parking.
- Paddling the marsh ModerateRV parking available
Canoe and kayak rentals allow visitors to explore quiet channels through the marsh from the Cattail Cafe launch. Paddling offers close views of turtles, herons, and waterfowl not visible from the boardwalk.
- oTENTik overnight stay Easy
Point Pelee offers seasonal oTENTik accommodations that combine a cabin and tent for visitors without their own gear. RV travellers using their own rig will need to park at nearby private or Ontario Parks campgrounds and visit for the day.

We just wrapped up a wonderful family reunion using Jose as our trailer host on our family property. Jose was great at communicating timing for delivery and pick up and when we had questions about the fridge and furnace, drove out of his way to help. The service was fantastic. I would recommend this camper for a park set up instead of off grid based on our own personal needs, but Jose and his trailer were really great! Thank you again!

We loved this trailer. Everything about this rental was easy breezy and we had the best week with our family. We especially loved the selection of excellent games!!

Scarlett and John provided us with an amazing experience. We have an 8,7 and 4 year old and we all slept so soundly in the trailer. The queen bed was super comfortable and the kids loved the bunk beds. The air conditioner worked amazing and the sound of it helped us all sleep! The rv had games for the kids in it and we spent some mid the rainy day and evenings playing them. They also provided us with beach toys that we got great use of! I highly recommend this rv. It was easy to clean up after and plenty of storage for groceries. The fridge and freezer were a great size too :) we had the best time.

How to get to Point Pelee National Park
Point Pelee sits about 10 km south of Leamington, roughly a 55 km drive from Windsor (about 45 minutes) and around 400 km from Toronto (about 4 hours) via Highway 401 and Highway 77. RV travellers coming from the U.S. via the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel should note that the tunnel prohibits many large RVs and propane-equipped vehicles, so the Ambassador Bridge is the recommended crossing. Roads within the park are paved and generally RV-friendly, but oversized rigs should be cautious in the visitor centre lot and use the seasonal shuttle to reach the Tip. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is Windsor International Airport (YQG), with Detroit Metropolitan (DTW) as a larger alternative.
