Best time to visit Point Pelee National Park
The best time to visit Point Pelee National Park is May during spring bird migration, when thousands of migratory bird species pass through and the park hosts the Festival of Birds with guided hikes and educational programs. Late September through early October offers excellent fall migration viewing with fewer crowds than spring. Summer months are ideal for swimming, canoeing, and kayaking when temperatures reach 24-27°C (75-80°F). Winter months from November through March provide off-peak visitation with reduced crowds, though park hours are shortened and weather is cold.

Top Hosts near ON, Canada
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.
