Looking for Recommendation for RV Campground

[MrSimon]

Hi there,

 

I'm looking to do a long weekend RV fishing trip in Eastern Ontario next year. Here are my criteria. Any suggestions?

 

• Within 5 hours of the Thousand Islands bridge
• Need decent fishing for walleye, bass, pike, etc - doesn't have to be amazing, just decent
• Good scenery is as important as the fishing - the more remote/secluded the better
• Would like lots of water to explore. Maybe on a big river, or a big lake with lots of islands and bays.
• Campground must accommodate a 30' RV ... need electric for sure, water and sewer would be nice. Would like to have a bathhouse, fish cleaning house, little store ... that kind of stuff.

I've heard that Morning Mist Resort on the Ottawa River is nice, so that's certainly on my list.

 

Any other ideas?

Sid Turcotte park in Mattawa has all you want. I am a seasonal there so I know that it does!!!

There are a few good opportunities in the valley, but I may be a little biased...lol. quite close to Morning mist is Driftwood PP. less amenities but very private, pull thru sites and a good boat ramp. IMO fishing, the Ottawa R anywhere above the dam in Rolphton is great. Pine Ridge Park in Pembroke area has all the services you talked about with a decent restaurant as well. Town of Pembroke close by for any other needs. Another venue that I have enjoyed in the past is Sunny Hill Resort on Bark Lake near Barry's Bay. Mostly a seasonal CG but They accept transients as well. Hot tub,pool etc and fishing is decent for lakers, walleye, pike and SM. Lake is quite large and very scnenic with very few cottages.

Excellent information guys! Thank you very much. I will look into all of these options.

I love Bark Lake, but you should be prepared for some very rough water if there are high winds. Being so big, the fishing can be a challenge at times.
