The Great Outdoors

Visitors can’t come to Orillia without stopping by Lake Simcoe. This large lake covers over 770 square kilometers (480 square miles) is easily accessible from Orillia. Bring your boat or rent one and hit the water for a nice cruise or paddle around the lake. Bring your fishing gear and see if you can wrangle up some pike or perch for dinner. Lake Simcoe is the perfect place for any of your watersport needs.

If you happen to be bringing your camper rental to Ontario in the winter, consider checking out any of the ski resorts in the area for some fun on the slopes. Go skiing or snowboarding down ski trails ranging from beginner to advanced, or take a few lessons with a trained instructor.

Orillia hikers love to trek the Scout Valley Loop Trail. Once an old Scout Camp, Scout Valley has been refurbished into a 93-hectare nature park with three walking trails. Hikers can enter all three trails separately from three different parking lots. The terrain is classified as hilly and of moderate difficulty, and the landscape is covered in hardwood brush and white pine trees. The wooded paths are good for hiking, walking, or snowshoeing.

Camping in Orillia

There are a number of RV parks within the city limits and surrounding area. Bass Lake Provincial Park is a great place to accommodate your RV rental in the Orillia area. Three of the park's four campgrounds offer electrical hookups, while all campgrounds provide easy access to public restrooms and hot showers. Lake access and boat rentals are available as well.

Black River Campground, located within Black River Wilderness Park, is a Chippewa-owned and operated establishment with partial-hookup sites for RVs. You'll have 180 acres of woodland to explore at Black River Wilderness Park, and you can also enjoy indigenous cultural experiences, such as medicine walks, drum and song, and crafting.

McRae Point has two campgrounds offering over 200 electric and primitive sites, some of which are pull-through for large motorhome rentals. This park also features a dump station, public bathrooms, hot showers, and a registration office where campers can purchase novelty items and camping necessities. McRae Point is right on the shores of Lake Simcoe, making it a convenient place for lake loungers to park their Orillia campervan rental.

If you're renting a travel trailer in Simcoe County, check out Hammock Harbour RV Park. This RV park has 29 campsites with 30-amp electrical hookups, water hookups, picnic tables, and fire pits. Restrooms and water access are located near all the campsites.

There are many more short-term RV campgrounds within a 20-mile radius to choose from, including Oro Family Campground, Fair Havens Family Camp, and Bee Happy Family Campground, to name a few.

Exploring the City

Renting a motorhome in Orillia is an excellent way to discover all that the town has to offer. Outdoor enthusiasts flock to Orillia for the water sports and scenic beauty. The water frontage is the major draw, providing visitors with shops, a boardwalk, live music, and water access for all the best watersports. Check out a festival or have a nice dinner at one of the restaurants near the water.

If you’re looking for history, the Leacock Museum is the former home of famed Canadian author and teacher Stephen Leacock. This museum regularly hosts shows, exhibits, and even features a bistro where visitors can grab a nice meal while they explore.

Another historic location is the Mnjikaning Fish Weirs. This site has been carbon-dated back nearly 5,000 years. It's a fishing weir comprised of a large number of wooden poles placed in the channel with openings where historians believe the earlier residents would lay nets to collect the fish.
