Camping & Hiking · Ontario
A gay men's campground and resort near Tweed, ON, with cabins, a pool, river kayaking and a busy social calendar. Guests praise the washrooms and community, though it isn't a general family campground.
Riverside Resort and Campground is a forested property on a river outside Tweed, run as a gay men's campground with an adult-oriented social scene. Mature trees shade large sites, and visitors describe grounds kept with obvious pride by both staff and seasonal campers. Cabins are available alongside tent and RV sites, including newer units.
The washrooms and showers get standout praise: one recent guest who has visited many similar campgrounds called them the best they'd seen, clean, modern and roomy. There's a pool, a small gym, food trucks and Wi-Fi, and everything is within about a 10-minute walk. Several reviewers single out staff for making them feel welcome and checking in during their stay.
The social side is the big draw. A social committee runs theme weekends and dance parties, and guests describe pool afternoons, big group campfires and easy mixing with seasonals. Kayaking on the river is popular, including a longer paddle to a waterfall. It's BYOB, with Tweed about 10 minutes away for supplies.
It's worth knowing what this place is before booking, as at least one visitor arrived without realising and left unhappy. Early in the season, the pool and kayak dock may not be ready yet, so confirm before a May visit. One younger guest found the crowd mostly older, and one trans man reported an uncomfortable call with staff, though he said the owners later apologised and he was hopeful about training.
