From Belleville Ontario to Sarnia -

Planning a trip from Belleville, Ontario across to Sarnia, however, that is too long a trip to make in one day, so need help.

We will tow a small travel trailer (~19 ft. with Suburban), and wanting some helps on where we could stop for an overnighter - have looked at London, in order not to have to have cross the Border at Sarnia to Port Huron in late afternoon.

Any help from you all could be great as we have only traveled from Niagara Falls to Belleville and across to, think it was Vermont before.

This time we would be going across to Kimball MI -

BTW our son is in Belleville, but as far as he travels is into Toronto, is not a tour guide by any means. He is on contract with an American Corp. and working in Canada at this time.

  • The KOA lost its Franchise and has horrible reviews in Tripadvisor.

    X2 on Milton Heights. It is right by the Niagara Escarpment, lots of top notch hiking near by.
  • Not a KOA anymore. I think it is called Triple C or something like that. Easy off and on 401.
  • We stayed at a KOA 1 nite on the east side of London. Easy off/easy on 401. Hiway noise but not a big deal......
  • Thank you so very much - being as have not driven this segment of the highway before, any helps are appreciated.

    The Milton one sounds good, Hubby is a good driver, but sometimes we all can use help in directions, etc. Know that when we do Google mapping or Good Sam either one ... we have to add about 50% more time to their perception of time.
  • It's a four and a half hour drive, depending on what time you hit Toronto. That's a short day trip.
  • Milton Heights Campground is just on the west side of Toronto. It is an easy off/on Highway 401 and will leave you about 2.5 hours to Sarnia. There is highway noise but it is well looked after - we summarize and winterize our trailer there every year.

    And if you are planning to head into Toronto it is probably the easiest campground to get to Toronto.

    There is also Bronte Creek provincial park but it is a bit off Hwy 401.

    Let us know if you need more info.
