The Campsites at Rutledge Lake

Just 15 minutes from Bancroft, Ontario, our friendly campsites are the perfect place to relax, explore, and make lasting memories in the great outdoors.

Choose from several unserviced campsites or one serviced site perfect for tents or RVs. Each campsite includes its own private fire pit — great for roasting marshmallows and sharing stories — plus a communal fire pit where families can gather, meet new friends, and enjoy evenings under the stars.

Whether you’re looking for a peaceful weekend in nature or an adventure-filled family getaway, our campground offers the perfect blend of comfort, community, and outdoor fun.
