When you turn 65 something magical happens—the cares of the world truly start to lose their grasp on you, and your attention turns to the things that really matter in life. Travel, family, time together, great conversations, time in nature—all of the things RVing offers you. It’s no wonder that hundreds of thousands of seniors are hitting the road to enjoy the freedom of the RV lifestyle.
Ontario is an incredible destination for RVers, especially for seniors. It’s one of the safest places in the world, with incredible infrastructure that means that roads are in good shape and take you almost anywhere you want to go, and that accessibility won’t be an issue. If you’re looking to commune with nature in a secluded and remote spot, we've got something for you. Or if you’re bringing the grandkids, we’ve got some great family resorts on some beautiful touring routes as well.
What To Do
Routes, Events, and Attractions for Senior RVers
The first thing most of us think of when planning an RV trip is where to go. Ontario spans ¼ of the width of Canada, so there’s never any shortage of events, attractions and bona fide routes to consider. Our top choices are as follows:
The International Plowing Match has been on our radar for a few years now. We attended one with a rented RV from CanaDream in 2014 and were amazed by how well-organized the event was, and how much there was to see and do.
Every night there were concerts in a big tent with plenty of seating and easy access in and out, so even if it rained, everyone was comfortable. The International Plowing Match RV sites were well decorated and had a great sense of community—when an event goes on for a week, it’s easy to get to know people and make new friends. The community is respectful and relatively quiet, so there aren’t too many late-night hijinks going on.
