Hiring a Campervan in Toronto
Toronto is Canada's biggest city and the natural launch pad for campervan adventures in eastern Canada. Within a few hours you can be paddling Algonquin Park, cruising Muskoka's cottage-country lakes, standing beside Niagara Falls, or heading east on the Trans-Canada toward Ottawa, Montreal and the Maritimes.
This guide covers what a van costs in Toronto, where to pick up, and the best road trips to build from Ontario's capital.

Best Road Trips From Toronto
Muskoka & Cottage Country
Two to three hours north, Muskoka is Ontario's summer heartland — thousands of lakes, pine forests, charming towns like Gravenhurst and Bracebridge, and some of the best canoeing in the country. Campground options abound in Arrowhead and Killbear Provincial Parks.
Algonquin Provincial Park
Canada's most famous provincial park is a three-hour drive from Toronto and a paradise for canoeing, hiking and moose-spotting. Several campgrounds along Highway 60 accept RVs, and the autumn colours here are legendary.
Niagara Falls & Wine Region
Under two hours south, Niagara Falls needs no introduction. Combine it with the Niagara-on-the-Lake wine region for an easy long weekend.
Trans-Canada East
The big one — Toronto to Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City and on to the Atlantic provinces. It's 1,800 km to Halifax but can be done over two to three unhurried weeks. Drop the van out east and fly back for a one-way adventure.
Tips for Renting in Toronto
Time It for Fall Colour
If you can swing September or October, Ontario's autumn foliage is extraordinary and campervan prices soften. Algonquin and Muskoka are at their best in the last week of September through mid-October.
Traffic
Getting out of the Greater Toronto Area on a Friday afternoon is a test of patience. Leave early in the morning or on a weekday to avoid the Highway 400 crawl north.
Provincial Park Reservations
Ontario Parks campgrounds book up quickly for summer weekends. Reserve at Ontario Parks as early as possible — bookings open five months ahead.
