Riverside Park Campground in Pembroke is a cozy riverside spot that’s great for families and relaxed campers. Most sites are level and close to the water, with easy access to walking trails, a beach area, and clean washrooms. There’s a nice mix of tent and RV spaces, and you can often catch a breeze off the river on hot days. The campground is quiet at night, and staff keep it tidy and friendly. Just be ready for trains passing nearby once in a while — they’re noticeable but not a dealbreaker.

Riverside Park Campground offers a relaxed, family-friendly camping experience along the Ottawa River. It features serviced and unserviced sites, clean washrooms, and a playground, plus easy access to walking trails and the waterfront. The grounds are well-maintained, with shaded areas and picnic tables throughout. It’s close to downtown Pembroke, making it convenient for supplies or local dining. Seasonal staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is quiet and respectful. Ideal for RVs, tents, or a casual weekend getaway. Bonus: it’s right beside Riverside Park, so campers can enjoy green space and river views without leaving the site.

The note isnt much about the place itself but all factors together that boost the experience when you just pass by. The guys were very helpful, the price so cheap (50$/n8) and it is super calm along the lake with nice sunshine rising!

We had a fantastic 9 days camping 🏕 here ! The park is well kept and offers so much for everyone... I am really pleased at the exceptional use of the water front space. It's quite and busy which is nice to see, lots of people enjoying the area.. We will make it an annual spot to stop.. and enjoy the beautiful water front space. I loved biking all around !! Keep up the great work. 👍

Great park to take kids, there's usually at least one other family there. Lots of variety in the play structure for kiddo to climb and slide, and 3 types of swings. Splash pad is great for hot days, but there is still lots to do as it gets cooler.

Well um I went swimming and I got a leach on me. So 2/5 not really recommended. The playground is better for bigger kids I recommend. Very nice that they give the kids life jackets though at the water trampoline.

This park is very family friendly. There is a splash pad, next to the playground with a public washrooms and picnic tables, then off on the other side you have a very large shallow beach right in the Ottawa River. There's also a trails in which you can enjoy nice a long walk or even bike ride along the shoreline of the city. There is also camping here at extra cost.

Interesting place, camping available although very open with no privacy. Great for an overnight on a long trip elsewhere. Cute little Waterpark right next to the river, small swimming area with lifeguards watching very diligently.
