Experience the Ottawa River by day and a simple riverside camp by night: OWL Rafting’s Paddler Camping lets kayakers and canoers immerse themselves in a beautiful natural setting without the constraints of designated campsites. The camping area is intentionally basic—sites are not reservable and are claimed on a first‑come, first‑served basis—and trailers and RVs are welcome at no extra charge.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Paddling the Ottawa
The core of the experience is the river itself: paddlers head onto the Ottawa and return to a simple campsite that keeps the trip focused on water time and the natural setting.
Choose Your Own Spot
OWL’s canoe & kayak camping area does not have designated sites; campers select their tent or vehicle spot on a first‑come, first‑served basis rather than by reservation.
RVs Welcome, No Hookups
Trailers and RVs are welcome at no extra cost, but the site is basic—OWL does not provide water or power hookups, and extended stays beyond seven nights require prior contact with the operator.
