- padredwNomadWe stayed in Fifty Point Conservation area when we visited Niagara Falls several years ago. Liked it so much we are going back in June. We did NOT visit Toronto, but may do so this time. I mention this because it is not too far from Hamilton. It a nice campground and
easy walking distance from the Lake. Reservations would be required. - skramsExplorerHamilton ish area is Valens Conservation Area, and 50 Point (way closer to the city), or Bronte Creek PP. Bronte and Valens are only water/electric, 50 Point also has sewer, but there you can't have onsite campfires.
- road2002runnerExplorerStill recommend Milton and Glen Rouge.
bbt - Teeshot1939ExplorerI'll be visiting both the west side near Hamilton and the east side near Ajax. Has anyone had experience with Olympia Village campground in Hamilton....read 2 reviews...1 loved it and the other hated it. Thanks.
- road2002runnerExplorerAs mentioned in other posts - it really matters if you want to be on the WEST side of Toronto or the East side. I have not stayed on the west side, but have heard that Milton is a good spot - would give you access to Hamilton and The Niagara peninsula as well.
I really liked Glen Rouge ( as I grew up in that area) it is closer to Oshawa etc and the EAST end of the big smoke (Toronto) - Traffic on either side is a contentious issue - non better than another - always bad.
Most of my life I worked as a salesman in Toronto - and might be able to help you - if I had an idea as what you wanted to do.
let me know if you would like more info.
bbt - CoMoCoExplorerMilton Heights Campground if you want to be in the west end.
- Jack_Diane_FreeExplorerMilton Heights Campground does have seasonal sites but also excellent FHU pull through paved sites. This is an excellent clean, safe well managed RV park with recent new owners who have updated everything. I would highly recommend this park for a stay of a few months as we have done.
Very handy to the GO train/bus system that runs regularly into Toronto all day and is a great stress free way to get into Toronto.
We have used Milton Heights Campground on and off and for extended stays since 1996 and have no complaints whatsoever. - Beverley_KenExplorerIf you can tell us what part of Toronto your interested in, it would be a big help, it can take an hour to go from one side to the other.
On the east side, Scarborough area, as previously mentioned, there is Glen Rouge, west side Etobicoke, Indian Line or further west Bronte Creek Provincial Park or campgrounds in the Milton area.
On the north east side Hy 404 corridor there are some 45-60 minutes away.
On the 400 corridor, I know of 3 (in commuting distance), 1st Yogi Bear Jellystone
would be about 30-40 minutes to the north limits of Toronto.
2nd Toronto North Cookstown KOA 45 minutes
3rd (I would highly recommend but an hour north. Barrie KOA, They do have the 'big rig sites' smooth concrete patio sites, FHUs, very friendly family owned, There is also commuter train and bus service available in this area.
Ken - MDKMDKExplorerThat one caters more to seasonal camping, but they might have something that would work. No harm in trying.
