Gateway Camping
Overview
Gateway Camping offers a welcoming atmosphere for families and RVers looking to experience one of Ontario’s most iconic beach towns. As a well-established destination in Wasaga Beach, this park provides a blend of seasonal sites and overnight camping options. The focus here is on a community-oriented environment where guests can unwind after a day in the sun. It serves as a reliable base for those who want to be near the world’s longest freshwater beach without sacrificing the comforts of a managed campground.
Location & Surroundings
Situated just a short walk from the vibrant Beach Area 1, Gateway Camping places visitors at the heart of the local action. The surrounding landscape features the scenic Nottawasaga River, providing a beautiful backdrop for evening strolls or fishing. The park is nestled within a mix of residential charm and commercial convenience, ensuring that supplies and dining are never far away. This central location makes it easy to transition from the quiet of the campsite to the energy of the boardwalk.
Amenities & Park Features
The park is equipped with essential features designed for a comfortable stay, including full hookup sites with 30-amp service. Guests have access to clean washrooms, hot showers, and on-site laundry facilities to keep gear fresh during longer trips. For recreation, the grounds include a children’s playground and areas for sports like basketball. These amenities ensure that while the beach is the primary draw, there is plenty of utility and entertainment available within the park boundaries.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The primary draw is the stunning shoreline of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park, where visitors can enjoy swimming, sunbathing, and watersports. Beyond the sand, the area offers excellent hiking and cycling trails that wind through the dunes and pine forests. For a bit of history, the nearby Nancy Island Historic Site provides a glimpse into the region's past. Families also enjoy the local mini-golf courses and the various seasonal festivals that bring live music and entertainment to the waterfront.
Who This Park Is Best For
Gateway Camping is ideal for active families and social travelers who want to be within walking distance of the beach and local attractions. It appeals to those who prefer a bustling resort vibe over a secluded wilderness experience. If you enjoy meeting fellow RVers and having quick access to shopping, dining, and public events, this park fits your travel style perfectly. It is a great choice for those seeking a classic Ontario summer vacation with all the conveniences of a town-side campground.

Rented a full service site that was suppose to fit a 30ft trailer but when I got there had to get people to move just to get my 27ft trailer in. I was told I would have water , 30amp service and sewer hook up along with a fire pit but I only got water and hydro. And still had to pay full price as if I had full service They told me my sewer hook up was buried under logs and did nothing about it, also had no fire pit as half my site was cut down for an emergency exit that had large tractor and and extremely noisy side by side that was driving right threw my site multiple times a day would recommend only stay if you are not planing on spending to much time at the site and have a small trailer everywhere is very tight for 25ft and up.

The sites are so small and almost no privacy. Very few trees. Just grass, with your tent right up next to your neighbors tent. Sites barely have room for a tent, picnic table, firepit and one car. On the plus side, it's a 10 min walk to the beach. And the staff are friendly. Bathrooms are... odd. There's a urinal beside the sink, and the stalls are really small. They also clean them daily in the hour before checkout which is a bit inconvenient. Showers are fine. They're free, they work.

I don’t usually leave poor reviews but this place is not worth $110 per night. It is a very small campground that looks like someone’s unkept backyard. Most of the sites are very small and they are booking in 26-32 ft trailers and motorhomes. At best there should be tents and tent trailers only at this place. My site had dog shit on it when we arrived, I couldn’t find my sewer because it was half buried in the ground and the whole time I was there sea gulls were picking out garbage all over the place. Not a nice spot at all and definitely never bring your kids. Roots RV Resorts should either over haul this campground or dump it from the fleet, again it is not worth $110 per night just because it’s in Wasaga Beach which is under construction for the foreseeable future. Very disappointed.

Simple small camping with everything we need.10 min walk from area 1 beach, Wal-mart, other stores and restaurants are also within a walking distance. Washroom, showers (free) and pool are super clean. There's a basketball hoops and a small playground. Dogs are welcome. Carole at the office was very nice and helpful.

Gateway was awesome! Everyone was so nice and helpful, and it had everything you need for a fantastic trip. Plus, it was quiet and the neighbors were great.
