Willows RV Park & Campground
A quiet, treed campground just off the highway near Kenora, ON, known for large private sites, updated washrooms and friendly owners, though one recent visitor found upkeep slipping.
What visitors say
Willows RV Park & Campground is a few minutes from Kenora and less than a mile from the highway, yet reviewers say you hardly hear traffic. The grounds have mature trees, ponds, meadows and walking trails with bridges. Sites are large, level and private, including those for overnight travellers.
The owner gets steady praise for being welcoming and flexible. Guests describe late check-ins being set up in advance, last-minute spots found on busy weekends, firewood delivered to sites and a guide car to lead you in. Sites offer water and electric, with 50-amp pull-throughs for big rigs. Recent reviewers found the washrooms and showers clean and updated, and there's laundry, a small store and Wi-Fi, though the signal is best near the office. At least one camper noted there's no sewer hookup at every site.
It's popular as a stopover on cross-country trips, and many travellers stay an extra night or return every year. There's a kids' area, pickleball, a big grassy space and a covered shelter for rainy days. Fishing, trails and a boat launch are nearby.
Not every stay has gone well. One reviewer on a recent July long weekend found dog waste, uncut grass, dirty washrooms, broken showers and a sani-dump pipe too small for a standard hose. Other recent reviews are positive. Mosquitoes can be intense in summer, and bears have been spotted nearby. Tent sites cost more than some expected. A recent note suggests the park may now go by a different name, so check when booking.
