RV Rental Bobcaygeon, ON

A motorhome rental in Bobcaygeon will place you in the Kawartha Lakes region. If you’re a fan of fishing, boating or swimming, you’re in luck. This part of Ontario is rich in waterways for you to explore when you rent an RV.

Drive your Bobcaygeon camper rental one hour north, and you’ll find yourself in Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park. One of southern Ontario’s largest parks, Kawartha Highlands offers endless miles of hiking trails and plenty of waterways for you to explore by kayak or canoe. Motorboats are permitted on most of the lakes, though not all, and you’ll find rich fishing grounds here to try and catch yourself some dinner. Unfortunately, the only camping permitted in the park is tent camping at backcountry sites reachable only by boat. You’ll need to park your luxury RV rental in Bobcaygeon or somewhere close by when it’s time to stop for the night.

As big as Kawartha Highlands is, though, Algonquin Provincial Park dwarfs it. A two-hour drive from Bobcaygeon, you could be forgiven for thinking you were thousands of miles from civilization in this sprawling wilderness. The park is home to spectacular wildlife, including moose and bears, and the lakes and rivers teem with fish. Hiking, swimming, and whitewater canoeing are big attractions in the summer. And in the winter, skiing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing are fun ways to spend a day or more in the Canadian wilderness. Some of Algonquin's many campgrounds will accommodate your Bobcaygeon travel trailer rental, and some even have showers and laundry facilities as well as electrical and water hookups. Reservations are recommended, especially during the busy summer season.

It may not always feel like it, but southern Ontario is one of the most densely populated areas of Canada, and so as well as pristine nature, there are plenty of cities worth exploring in your RV rental near Bobcaygeon. Toronto is Canada's cultural and financial capital and offers all you would expect from a city of its size. A longer drive east will take you to Ottawa, Canada’s capital city close to the border with the French-speaking province of Quebec. Or, for a city that still offers some of that laid-back cottage country charm, you could visit Barrie, just two hours from Bobcaygeon on the shores of Lake Simcoe.

Ontario's provincial parks offer an excellent way to get away from it all in your Bobcaygeon motorhome rental. But if you’re looking for something closer to town, there are a few options you could try.

The town has its share of pizza restaurants and take out places, but if you’re in the mood for something a little more special, you could try one of the elegant restaurants on the waterfront that offer fresh local seafood.

Kawartha Settler’s Village is a popular attraction that offers guests a trip back in time. Twenty historic homes and buildings have been painstakingly restored to give a glimpse of the town’s pioneer origins.
