Campgrounds & RV Parks

Countless Options

Vacations are all about relaxing and there
may be no better way to relax and unwind
than a weekend (or longer) camping
expedition to Ontario’s Sunset Country.
Camping is the ideal activity for the family
looking to get outdoors and close to
nature, but still be in a relatively
controlled setting. Our private
campground operators have sites available
to meet any need including fully-serviced
ones for full-size RVs all the way down to
the basic site to pitch a tent on.

When camping in Sunset Country you are
likely to be cozied up close to a beautiful
freshwater lake and most every
campground has boats for rent or you can
bring your own boat. Fishing is just one of
36

many activities available with swimming,
boating, snorkeling, hiking and general
exploring all possible things you can do.
Nature and its wonders will ensure your
kids never get bored and they won’t play
video games even if you bring them along.

In addition to private campgrounds there
are many Provincial Parks within our
boundaries that provide another
alternative place to stay. Some of the more
popular ones in the region are Rushing
River near Kenora, Blue Lake near
Vermilion Bay, Aaron near Dryden,
Pakwash near Ear Falls, Sioux Narrows on
Highway 71 and Ojibway Provincial Park
in the Sioux Lookout district. In most
cases you can get a campsite whenever you
pull up to the gate but on the holiday longweekends during the summer,

What a camping trip to Sunset Country
will do is re-energize and re-invigorate
your heart and soul, remind you of how
much you enjoy the great outdoors and
best of all, do things with your family or
friends that create lasting memories for
years to come.
