Anyone who decides to get an RV rental in Arkell, Ontario is in for a real visual treat: this charming village is located in the heart of an area full of beautiful, farmed fields speckled with lush forest - and it’s not far from the vibrant city life either. The metropolitan city of Toronto is nearby, and so are the festival cities of Mississauga and Hamilton both of which have a rich culture. These places have one thing in common - they’re all situated on the shores of the great Lake Ontario.

For some fun even closer to your camper rental in Arkell, you’ll find the city of Kitchener where there are music festivals all year round, and Arkell is pretty much a suburb of Guelph, a city filled with historical sites, beautiful nature, and art. If you need even more convincing that getting a luxury RV rental in Arkell will be a fantastic choice, the area is known for its long tradition of beer brewing. And it's easy to get around here too; there are several big roads, including Ontario Highway 7, close to the village.

The Great Outdoors of Arkell

One of the greatest things about renting a motorhome in Arkell is that there’s no need to leave the village to experience the fantastic, diverse nature - because it’s all around you. Take Starkey Hill Conservation Area, for example, with a gorgeous trail going through wetlands and forest, with remnants of glaciers, rich flora, and an even richer fauna - while you're here, you can see how many animal tracks you can find.

If you do want to go on a little trip instead of leaving your campervan rental in Arkell, Guelph Lake Conservation Area is a great location for all kinds of outdoor recreation. Here you'll find superb hiking trails through various kinds of woodlands, gorgeous spots for a cozy picnic, and even two beaches. In the lake, you can go fishing, swimming, or paddling, and it’s also great for sailing and windsurfing. For any children on your trip, there are also playgrounds, and in July, you can attend the renowned Hillside Festival, held just around the corner from your travel trailer rental in Arkell.

A bit farther from Arkell but still close enough for a day trip, you’ll find another gem: Pinery Provincial Park. This park is located on the shores of mighty Lake Huron, and it really has it all. In the gorgeous water, you can swim, fish, and go on various kinds of water transportation, including paddle boats and paddle boards. On dry land, you can enjoy very rare oak savannah and coastal dune ecosystems while spotting plants and watching birds, and there’s skiing in the winter, too.

RV Parks in Arkell

Finding a place to park your RV rental near Arkell is a breeze - just be aware that some of the parks are seasonal and won’t be open during the winter. One of the parks that stays open all year is beautiful Milton Heights Campground, where you can enjoy full hookups, a heated swimming pool, and both shower and laundry facilities. There’s a store on site too, but it’s only open during the summer months.

Nor Halton Park is one of the seasonal spots in the area, but during the warmest three quarters of the year, you can have lots of fun in the swimming pool or the horseshoe pit, and, of course, there are full hookups and shower facilities too. There’s no store on site, but you can find a whole bunch of them in Guelph, just a stone’s throw from that motorhome rental in Arkell, and that goes for gas stations too.

Exploring Arkell

You can’t be on the road all the time, so park your RV rental in Arkell, ON and have a look around the scenic village. One lovely place to visit is the unique pen store in Guelph, a shop where you can buy anything you need to make your own pens. There are pen blanks, nibs, and all the tools you need to craft your own beautiful pen. If pens aren’t your cup of tea, you can find lots of other beautifully made things here, such as magnifying glasses and pizza spatulas. This could be the perfect place to get souvenirs for your loved ones.

To experience some more culture, you might have to head to Guelph, where there are lots of museums well worth a visit. At the Civic Museum, you can walk around both permanent and temporary exhibitions displaying the history of the area, and even more of that you’ll get at the McCrae House, a limestone cottage built in 1858. You can also have a look at Locomotive 6167, which was built in 1940 and used by Canadian National Railways. These are perfect stops for your inner history buff.

Music is also big in Guelph - that’s why the city hosts so many festivals each year. You’ll be able to find something to your liking here, whether you’re into jazz, Italian music, or contemporary dance. Then there’s the Hillside Festival, lasting for three days in July every year. It takes place on Guelph Lake Island and has five stages where you can see a whole bunch of different bands. Should all the dancing have made you hungry, you can find anything from a cozy grill to Indian, Vietnamese, and Mediterranean fine dining in Guelph. Bon appétit!

So, have you started your search for an RV in Arkell yet? You have? Well done! It really would be such a shame to miss out on all the fun, all the gorgeous scenery, and great culture that this village has to offer. Just don’t forget your swimsuit.
