We’ve all heard our neighbors to the north are friendly, like maple syrup and hockey, and live in one of the most striking and beautiful countries in the world. There’s only one way to know for sure, and that’s to go experience it for yourself! The best place to go to get a sense of Canada is the capital, Ottawa. Located in the province of Ontario, in east-central Canada, Ottawa lies on the south bank of the Ottawa River. Across the river, only 8 km away, is the city of Gatineau. It is the home of Parliament Hill, where Canada’s legislature resides. The Canadian Museum of History and the National Gallery of Canada are also here, which house some of the country’s greatest works and oldest treasures. Ottawa also lies on the U.S. border and shares Lake Ontario. The city of more than a million has an easy going vibe, being one of the most welcoming and walkable cosmopolitan areas in the country. Park the RV rental in Ottawa and explore the historic ByWard Market. During the day it is host to a large farmers’ market and chic boutiques; at night, it turns into a bustling scene with hot restaurants, great pubs, and bumping nightclubs.

The Great Outdoors

Ottawa is surrounded by stunning natural beauty, a rugged wilderness that changes with the seasons. The Ottawa River boasts one of the best whitewater rafting spots in the world. Plus, there are guided fishing tours offered year-round, helping you score a world-class walleye or musky. The Fletcher Wildlife Garden is a local gem, offering guests a chance to experience and learn about Canada’s flora and fauna in the heart of the city.

You can also book a bike tour of the gardens or the city to see a ton of natural wonders in an invigorating and healthy way! The Morris Island Conservation Area is a beautiful place to spend the day hiking, fishing or kayaking, and it’s only 50 minutes from Ottawa.

Thousand Islands is just a few hours south, in Kingston. This archipelago is made up of over 1,800 islands in the St. Lawrence River and is a center of outdoor adventure! Trek through the islands at your own leisure, or take a tour of some of the elaborate mansions. On Heart Island, Boldt Castle is a striking German edifice. Singer Castle, on Dark Island, boasts secret passageways and era-authentic furnishings. Take your RV rental east to North Bay. Not only is the drive gorgeous any time of year, but there are great camping opportunities. Lake Nipissing is the most popular attraction of the area.
