RV-Friendly Festivals in Ontario

Boots and Hearts Music Festival

📍 Burl’s Creek Event Grounds, Oro-Medonte  ·  🗓 Early August

Canada’s largest camping-and-country weekend runs sprawling RV lots with both powered (hydro) and unserviced options. A dedicated RV community forms for the weekend — book the hydro sites early, they’re the first to go.

Havelock Country Jamboree

📍 Havelock  ·  🗓 August long weekend

One of Ontario’s biggest country camping weekends is built for RVers and trailers, with thousands settling in for four days across expansive grounds. A relaxed, family-friendly scene with room to spread out.

Ever After Music Festival

📍 Bingemans, Kitchener  ·  🗓 Summer

Ontario’s marquee electronic-music weekend offers RV camping right at Bingemans, so you’re steps from the stages with your own basecamp. A good pick if you want the festival intensity but a comfortable retreat between sets.

Hillside Festival

📍 Guelph Lake Island, Guelph  ·  🗓 Mid-July

Hillside runs on the island inside Guelph Lake Conservation Area, with RV and trailer field camping in the surrounding grounds. Grassroots, environmentally minded and family-friendly — a mellow RV weekend close to the water.

Smoke ‘N’ Spurs Country & Rodeo Festival

📍 Anderson Event Park, Papineau-Cameron  ·  🗓 Early September

Country concerts plus a full professional rodeo between North Bay and Mattawa, with on-site camping that suits RVs and trailers. Stay put for the mud bog, motocross and evening mainstage without leaving the grounds.

Big River Country Music Festival

📍 Happy Green Acres Campground  ·  🗓 Summer

A country weekend staged at a campground, so the festival grounds and the RV sites are one and the same. Tent and trailer camping, a laid-back crowd, and Canadian country talent right outside your door.

What RV hookups do Ontario festivals offer?

Most fall into three tiers: unserviced (field spot, no hookups), hydro/electrical (a power pedestal — the most common serviced option), and full-service (water and sewer too, which is rare). Many events without sewer still offer a shared dump station and water fill. Check the festival’s camping page for what each site includes.

How early should I book an RV site?

As early as you can. RV and trailer sites — especially hydro and serviced spots — sell out first because there are far fewer of them than tent sites. Book your RV pass at the same time as your ticket.

Are there length limits or big-rig restrictions?

Often. Festival camping is usually on grass fields, not paved pads, so many events cap length and may put large rigs in their own lot. Check the maximum length, whether the ground is level, and how tight the access roads are before towing a big unit in.

Can I run a generator?

It depends on the event and site — generators are often restricted or limited to certain hours, especially in quiet or family zones. If you rely on power, book a hydro site rather than counting on a generator, and read the quiet-hours policy.

Is there a dump station and fresh water on site?

Many larger festivals provide a shared dump station and a potable-water fill even when sites have no hookups. Arrive with full fresh water and empty holding tanks, conserve through the weekend, and confirm the dump and fill arrangements in advance.
