Ottawa's Poplar Grove Campground/ RV Park

It's a okay place for a quick stop. I wouldn't want to stay there long term. It appeared there were several seasonal campers there, with some site taken better care of then others We had an issue at our first site with getting our MH level. Once that was accomplished then the electrical didn't work. They were kind enough to let us move to a different site where it was easier to level and the electrical worked. Diane in the office is super nice and runs a tight ship for sure. They do have a pool, we didn't use it because it closes at 6:30 p.m. which is quite inconvenient if you are there to do some sightseeing and don't return until later in the evening like we did.

Nice enough facilities but the gate is an issue. When you don’t carry cash to be able to pay for a 20$ fob and they don’t accept credit card due to the hassle of refunds then this is problematic. We had 5 hours to go explore Ottawa and be back by 9pm to get through the gate for office closing time. It was not even an option to park outside and walk to our trailer because they don’t open the office until 8am and we needed to be hooked up and gone by just after 6am. It has been 2 weeks of parking mostly at KOAs across the states and back to Vancouver and this one has been the most inconvenient. A coded gate would be a better solution than fobs and better water pipes that aren’t corroded and stripped. Staff really don’t care about the inconvenience. Beware to have cash on you or you will pay for the inconvenience! Even if we had 20$ we wouldn’t be able to get it back the next day due to their opening hours. I think they can do much better as I have seen previous reviews about the same issue.

Great convenient campground to the Ottawa Region. Staff are amazing and accommodating. They even pick up the phone and respond to inquiries (imagine that), unlike another close by rv campground. Incredible dining a short drive away to Manotick. Poplar Grove is a quiet well maintained park. Staff are exceptional and appreciative of those who choose to stay. You won't be disappointed. We had a 50amp site 428. Level, dry, treed and grass.

Stayed here while visiting with my daughter who lives in Ottawa, very convenient for getting back and forth, we arrived back late but we had a gate card to get back in at night thru the security gates. It was a $20 cash deposit but it was refunded at checkout. Will return next year.

My husband and I stayed at this campground last weekend. The staff was friendly, the bathrooms were clean (nicest Campground shower I have used), and lots of shady sites. The location was close to Ottawa attractions. We would recommend this Campground.
