Discover Lake Ontario RV rentals for memorable road trips
The smallest of the five Great Lakes, Lake Ontario covers around 7,300 square miles and has over 700 miles of shoreline (half of which is on Canada’s side of the border). The lake was carved by the Great Glacier during the last Ice Age, about 10,000 years ago. As the glacier retreated northward, it etched great gouges in the earth and deposited massive boulders, as well. An important fishery and ecological habitat, there are over 300 miles of shorelines for adventurers to explore along with ten lighthouses, dozens of islands, and hiking trails.

Getting Outdoors
Discover the beauty and outdoor fun of Lake Ontario. Once heavily polluted and fished around the turn of the century, New York has made great strides at improving the water quality, revitalizing the habitats. Though it will take decades before Lake Ontario returns to the state before mankind polluted it, various wildlife and fish have returned to the waters of Lake Ontario. There are bass, northern pike, trout, panfish, and many other species in almost every cove, inlet, and estuaries. At certain times of a year, steelhead, chinook salmon and coho salmon leave the open water, heading upstream to their spawning grounds. A note for fishermen: lake sturgeon is an endangered fish, and if caught, they must be released. Nearly 100 public boat launches and ramps are available all along the shores of the lake. There are dozens of boat-rental and charter boat services, as well.
Camping at Lake Ontario
With over 300 miles of shoreline to explore, there’s plenty of public and private campgrounds to choose from. RV camp at Hamlin Beach State Park, Hamlin, NY. The campground packs in around 265 RV sites, most of which have 30 amp hookups. Restrooms with hot showers are a short walk from most sites, and many sites have waterfront views.
Exploring the Area
Within the comforts of a motorhome rental, explore the small towns along Lake Ontario. The Seaway Trail, a scenic byway, follows the entire 300 miles of shorelines, passing through historic towns with quaint shops, sidewalk cafes, museums, and art galleries. The byway also swings close to the shore where dozens of historic lighthouses stand guard, some still being used today to guide freighters and boats along their treacherous journeys.

Tom was great to work with and was very accommodating. We are from Texas, and experienced some damage to our own RV trailer. So we rented a trailer from Tom to have while ours was being repaired.
