offgriddin Posted July 16, 2019 Report Posted July 16, 2019 im looking for a 4 season rv park in northern ontario,does anyone know of any?
Big Cliff Posted July 17, 2019 Report Posted July 17, 2019 Can you narrow it down a bit, Northern Ontario covers a lot of ground.
offgriddin Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) about 8ish hrs from gta,but as close as say parry sound Edited July 17, 2019 by offgriddin
Big Cliff Posted July 17, 2019 Report Posted July 17, 2019 Are you looking to buy an existing unit or are you looking for a place to put one?

offgriddin Posted July 19, 2019 Author Report Posted July 19, 2019 there is very little info on google actually...most ads are for short term stay parks,seasonal my house just sold today and id like to try something different...
Old Ironmaker Posted July 20, 2019 Report Posted July 20, 2019 W5, ask, who, what, when, where and why and you will always get better answers.
Big Cliff Posted July 20, 2019 Report Posted July 20, 2019 Well, I have been doing some digging but I have to admit I didn't come up with much. I think the best advice I can give you is to call a real estate agent, they would have the tools to come up with a list for you. Personally I think I would just look at buying a piece of land.
woodenboater Posted July 20, 2019 Report Posted July 20, 2019 Have thought about going this route a few years back, but not year round. I don't recall any rv park opening year round in Ontario. Have seen some in Alberta but they were most likely on a nightly basis for travellers. I'd think the cost of keeping all lines open wouldn't be worth it for them. Guessing insurance is a factor as well. Good luck in your search, but I agree with Big Cliff, look for land, it will be way cheaper in the long run. 1
offgriddin Posted July 21, 2019 Author Report Posted July 21, 2019 i think ill take your advice guys...thank you
offgriddin Posted July 21, 2019 Author Report Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) i have been looking at property on long lake near charleton,on...they have hydro at the road and on the water for around 50k apparently the fishing is great..has anyone fished long lake? Edited July 21, 2019 by offgriddin
Big Cliff Posted July 22, 2019 Report Posted July 22, 2019 On the water is nice but: can get VERY expensive. Higher taxes because of waterfront, septic system requirements, restrictions on clearances..... I owned waterfront for many years, it was nice but a lot of hassles. If I was doing it again I would consider something near the water, public launch or marina availability. I just looked at a property in Noelville , 2 ea 1/2 acre lots on the edge of town under $25,000.00 for the pair. Hundreds of lakes and the French River at your door step. Just a thought!
Old Ironmaker Posted July 22, 2019 Report Posted July 22, 2019 It's a big world out there and with cash in your pocket unlimited possibilities. There are a few year round trailer parks in Haldimand County. But that's southern Ontario not northern. I knew a fella that was living on one after a recent divorce, in the dead of winter it was a chore just to keep the water supply from freezing as well as getting in and out. Buy a big RV bus summers up north and winters down south. Then you aren't stuck in one location that you paid big bucks for and find it isn't for you.

I can't recommend any particular agent in that area, I just happened to find these properties when I was on my way to my son's place last fall.
offgriddin Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Posted July 22, 2019 ok,thanks cliff...il look into that area for sure,some nice properties in the french river area
Headhunter Posted July 22, 2019 Report Posted July 22, 2019 Nice properties on the east side of hwy 69, but a lot of people! Busy place with existing cottages and camps. I would be checking on the west side of hwy 69, in the Hartley Bay area if indeed, you are seeking more privacy. You will likely be off the grid there... HH

My son and I fish a lot of lakes in that part of the country, he lives in Noelville., If you do decide on something in that area I'd be happy to introduce you to a spot or two and a couple of people I know. Good luck with your search and stay in touch.?

Bang on Big Cliff. We have been on the water here on Erie full time for 20 years. That includes 20 years of winters. I can't explain the difference between living in town and living on a lake. We too are looking now close to the lake, near a marina but not smack dab on the shoreline. Big Cliff look at properties in Chatham Kent. South western On. You won't believe what you can get there for under 300K. A nice property for under 200K. I think it's about 45 mins to Windsor and an hour or so to London. You must check it out. Purple Bricks.com. What's up with this italics? No big deal.
