Staying at Grand Oaks Carefree RV Resort on our Great Canadian Two Lane Camping Adventure

Grand Oaks Carefree RV Resort is located just outside the town of Cayuga, Ontario Canada. It is an overnight, weekend, week or seasonal RV park located along the beautiful Grand River.

The camping sites closest to the 1000 feet of river bank, where you can enter, are for tents and offer no services, but spectacular views! There are several pull through and back in water and electric sites close to the river with

awesome views. There is an upper section of the park that allows seasonal RVer’s to overlook the Grand River. The entire RV park is surrounded by large trees, offering a secluded and relaxing getaway. There is even an oak tree in the park that is hundreds of years old! The grounds also feature a swimming pool, splash pad, and a number of activities and amenities. If you enjoy recreational fishing, canoeing, kayaking, or consider yourself an angler, Grand Oaks is the place for you.
Our friend, Bette would love to fish here. You can wade right across the river at Grand Oaks in your shorts and never get them wet! The Grand River is the largest of the Great Lakes tributaries that flow through the south central portion of Ontario province. The Grand River drainage basin is approximately 6000 square kilometers of both warm and cold water streams that are inhabited by a large population of freshwater species. Grand Oaks is located on the central lower portion of Grand River. Proceed downstream and the river continues

to grow in size and volume. Steelhead fish enter the Grand River at Lake Erie and migrate upstream for reproduction and nursery waters. The Grand River is becoming known as one of the best Great Lakes tributaries for wild steelhead. Each year, thousands of these big rainbows make their way upstream. Most anglers who put in their time on this river, the steelhead rewards are strong fighting fish with larger-than-average size. The river flows and depths are larger, so traditional-style anglers who like to swing flies, either two-handed or single-hand rods, do very well on these waters with this technique. This steelhead population has a wild background, and were born and foraged in the cold nursery waters of the tributaries and main river.

Watching the Grand River for a few days made us think of our kayak enthusiast friends, Tom and Abbie, or anyone that enjoys kayaking or canoeing. You can camp at Grand Oaks Carefree RV Resort and push off right from the parks banks.
