How does RV camping at Harvest Hosts work in Ontario?

Harvest Hosts is an annual membership that lets RVers stay overnight at 470 Ontario wineries, farms, and breweries with no camping fees. Members request stays through the app, arrive in a self-contained RV, and support their hosts with a purchase — wild blueberry wine, a Georgian Bay flight, or farm goods for the Superior miles ahead.

Is Harvest Hosts worth it for Ontario RV trips?

Yes — cottage-country and Niagara campgrounds book out all summer, so membership pays for itself in about two nights. On a Superior circle, northern hosts are the difference between a long drive and a great one.

Ontario RV Camping Guide

Niagara and the Wine Country

Niagara-on-the-Lake's tasting rooms, the Falls' spectacle, and icewine's world capital pack Canada's premier wine region against the New York border — with Prince Edward County's limestone-country wineries the connoisseur's extension east.

Toronto and the Golden Horseshoe

Canada's largest city rewards a well-planned RV visit — host stays outside the core, transit in, and the 400-series highways treated with big-city respect. The surrounding countryside turns rural surprisingly fast.

Muskoka and Georgian Bay

Cottage country's granite-and-pine lakes, Georgian Bay's 30,000 islands, and waterfront brewery stays define the classic Ontario summer. July–August is the season at full volume; September keeps the warmth and returns the quiet.

Northern Ontario and the Superior Circle

The Lake Superior circle tour — Canada's side is the wilder half — rolls past Agawa's pictographs, blueberry barrens, and boreal horizons, with the north's farm and winery hosts turning the long distances into the trip's best chapters toward Manitoba or the Michigan crossing at the Soo.

When is the best time to RV camp in Ontario?

June through September for the full province, with two specialist windows: September–October for Niagara's harvest and northern color, and deep winter for icewine's frozen-grape magic (visit; don't RV it). Blueberry season peaks along Superior in late July–August.

What should US RVers know about crossing into Ontario?

Passports for everyone, declarations for produce and alcohol, and Canada's firearms rules reviewed well before the booth — the bridges at Niagara, Detroit-Windsor, and Sault Ste. Marie are the main gateways. Personal-use RV propane crosses fine; some tunnels (notably Detroit-Windsor) restrict propane, so use the bridges.

Is driving the 400-series highways hard in an RV?

They're just busy — the 401 through Toronto ranks among North America's heaviest corridors. Time crossings off-peak, use the express/collector logic deliberately, and consider the 407 toll route when the schedule matters more than the fee.

Is overnight RV parking legal in Ontario?

Municipal rules vary and the GTA enforces actively. Harvest Hosts stays keep it simple: an invited overnight on private property with the host's permission — a blueberry winery over a service centre.

Ontario runs from Great Lakes wine country to Arctic watershed — a province bigger than Texas and France combined — and its most-booked hosts tell a northern story: a wild blueberry farm and winery near Lake Superior, a waterfront brewery on Georgian Bay, a family farm in the near north. Ontario has 470 Harvest Hosts locations across all of it. Member favorites include Wild Blueberry Farm & Winery Retreat, Waterfront Riverside Craft Brewery, and Rustic Northern Ontario Family Farm Stop. Members can choose from 107 farm stays, 16 wineries, and 19 breweries province-wide.
