Dear Seasonal Campers,
We, the management and owner of Renfrew Camping, invite you to our campground for the summer of 2025. We take this opportunity to list a few of our expectations of campers for the coming year. The season runs from the Victoria Day weekend (May 16th) through to the end of Thanksgiving (October 13th). All seasonal campers must have their campers closed up for the season no later than October 31/2025.
As a seasonal camper you are expected to comply with rules and policies. Please remember that all guitars and music are to be shut down by twelve and an ALL QUIET SITE will be enforced by 1 AM. You are reminded that this music must be kept to your own site, no car or camper stereo music at anytime nor amplified music being played from any sound system without permission from management. All campers should be on their own lot for the night by 1 AM unless going to the washroom facilities. Quiet time Sunday to Thursday is 11 PM and Friday and Saturday 12 PM, this includes holiday weekends . You are to respect your neighbour at all times. Renfrew Camping runs on a three strike system and these strikes are carried over each year, meaning if you refuse to comply with rules and policies you will receive a strike! If you accumulate three strikes you will be asked to leave. However, there are exceptions. For example, any camper who threatens anyone else will, at a minimum, be told to leave. If you have a problem, bring it to the attention of the management. Don’t let things fester then boil over.
You are to make every reasonable effort to keep your lot neat in appearance. Trailers that have become discoloured with rust, algae etc..must be washed. If you must come in after twelve midnight do so with the respect to other campers, therefore all car stereos must be shut off before entering the campground driveway and acceleration kept at a minimum. If you have an overnight guest at your trailer it is your responsibility to inform them of all campground rules, fees and policies. Campers are required to comply with the directions of the campground staff without problems. Disagreements must be taken directly to the manager. The campground is our home and we reserve the right to feel safe.
The lot fee is $2500.00 plus 14% HST. Non metered lot electricity fee is $300.00 plus tax. There is a new fee of $100.00 per A/C unit. Any unit that will not be used must be wrapped in plastic. The storage fee of $125.00 plus tax is for all seasonal campers. Senior discount is 10% off the lot fee only. A storage fee of $1.25 a day plus tax will apply to all old trailers left in storage from one season to the next or one day to the next. There will be a $500.00 fee charged to the account of any seasonal who abandons an old trailer. Outside fridge on non metered sites is $75.00 plus tax and all fridges are to be kept painted with no signs of rust showing. All other electrical appliances, toys, patio decorations, etc., will be subject to a charge. The management of Renfrew Camping will accept no liability for lost, stolen, or spoiled goods connected with your units inside or out, regardless of the cause. You are strongly advised to not stock your fridge with frozen meats, etc. Experience has taught us that there are numerous unpredictable reasons for your RV to lose power long enough to ruin your frozen food supply. Please use frozen food up during each stay.
Those campers who have an unpaid balance from the previous year will be required to have the amount of that arrears plus the full current season payment in full by April 30th. Credit is extended or withdrawn at the discretion of the management. Credit will not be issued to those who are in arrears. If this is not met then the lot with the unpaid balance will be cleared for rental.
If you are accepted to make payments to us, the first payment of $1000.00 is required by April 30th. Next payment by June 15th of $1335.00 and final payment by July 30th of the balance remaining on account. Please put these dates on your calendar as to omit any problems. Failure to make the payments may result in termination of camping. Accounts must be paid in full by the end of the camping season. Accounts in arrears, will have an interest charge of 15% applied to the unpaid balance. We prefer payments to be made by e-transfer, cash or cheque.
THINGS TO KNOW:
(1) Please do not expect the water to be on before May 10th.
(2) Please remember that card board boxes, broken chairs, old carpets, stoves, televisions, building materials or bicycles are not to be put in the FERO garbage bins,
you can leave these items at the end of your lot for pickup or you can take them out
to the green building marked metals and other near the FERO bin. please do not take
any items up into the back yard. The FERO bins are for campground garbage only and
you are not to bring garbage of any kind from home to put in these bins. Please do
not leave bags of garbage on your site or on the ground around the FERO bins as racoons and crows will shred them.
(3) Please turn the air conditioner off in your trailers while not there, unless you
have a pet that will be inside while you are away. This must be brought to the
managers attention or the attention of a fellow camper in case of fire.
(4) Use propane to heat your hot water instead of electricity, this will lessen the possibility of popping breakers. If you use an adapter to plug into the site post, be certain to waterproof it from rain, as wet weather may cause it to arc and burn
your adapter, your cord and our outlet.
(5) Mothers, fathers and grandparents are given a senior pass. All other guests who
do not have a pass must pay the $8.00 plus tax per vehicle charge to visit for each
day they visit. This is not an overnight pass.
(6) Please register the names, license plate #, for the two passes you are given. These passes are only a day pass not an overnight pass. Vehicles will be checked for passes
on weekends so please ensure they are visible to staff.
(7) Any guest staying all night in your trailer must pay $8.00 per adult ( anyone over
19). There can only be a maximum of four visiting guests at one time on your site
unless discussed with staff.
(7a) If your grandchildren are under the age of 19 and will be camping with you for a
one or two night stay you may put a tent up on your lot for your grandchildren only.. This also must be for a limited period of time discussed with and approved by the campground manager. These children must be registered .
(8) Please pick up a schedule of activities for Saturday and Sunday (and Monday if holiday weekend). This is available each Friday at the office. Newsletters will be
posted on the website and a copy will be available at the office. Please inquire for a schedule as to when the newsletters will be ready.

before connecting to our power.
(11) You are now required to have your lot number visible and posted at the front of your lot. This is a requirement from the fire marshal for 911 services.
(12) Do not leave your RV sealed up with no way for air to circulate. Very hot days
can cause RVs to overheat, damaging vital electronic components such as the refrigerator and the converter. Always leave a way for hot air to escape safely. Do not leave a pet inside your RV unattended for extended periods of time.
