Rideau Heights Campsite

We stayed one night on are way thru Ottawa . It’s located very near to the airport, therefore very central. Has full service Motorhome connections. The campground was open but the showers were open yet for the season. Very pleasant campground superintendent.

5 stars to the manager, Raul! Great fella with a kind heart and always a welcoming big smile to match. The manager does a great job of keeping up the park. Raul spends much of his time making sure his guest's are happy. (It's no Disneyland Theme Park) However, it is safe, friendly and clean. Definitely nice place to bring the kids and pets. The park is located near everything and so easy to catch a bus, walk and doesn't cost much for fuel to do some touring. The homes close by are well looked after which as well adds a nice addition for a walk around the neighborhood. Long term or short term stay are both worthwhile and the rates are competitively priced. Enjoy!

This campsite is the worst we've stayed at. There is no pool, washrooms and laundry are locked. There are no fire pits and there is lots of garbage. The grounds were not manicured. If you ran AC and hot water for a shower, you tripped the breaker. The owner was rude, saying that's your problem. The only 2 positive things were strong wifi included in the price and it was close to Ottawa. I do not recommend.

Don’t go there Really rude staff. Not a nice place. Not maintained. We came late (21:45) and could not see anyone at the gate. So we parked thinking we could pay the next morning. There was a lot of free spots. A man came after 10 minutes to kick us out saying small camping vans were not welcomed. He said the washrooms were not in operation and that we have to leave. I explained we have a toilet, running water and a grey tank just like any trailer but a was just so rude😩 !!!

The camp ground was acceptable. The sites were small and bunched together, which was fine considering it was right in the city. If you are looking to see the sites in Ottawa inexpensively this might be an option. There is one thing to keep in mind, it is not a quiet site. No fault of the owner as it is directly next to a train track and a stones throw from the airport. If you're looking for quiet, this isn't for you. I felt the owner was a little bit difficult to understand as his first language was french. Some people could get the wrong idea about the guy by the way he communicates. I didn't have an issue with him. Be sure to bring cash! There is no credit or debit.
