June through September is the core season, with warm days, warm river swimming, and the full slate of eastern Ontario attractions open.

Spring opens in May but can be wet and buggy. Winter is not an RV season here, since the public parks close.

Some provincial and Parks of the St. Lawrence campgrounds hold a portion of sites for first-come arrivals, but do not count on it during peak summer weekends. If you want free camping, plan to travel toward the larger Crown-land areas well north of here.
