Cabin, Tent or RV? Which camping experience is best for you?

Not sure what kind of camping getaway is right for you?

At Parry Sound KOA Holiday, there’s more than one way to enjoy the outdoors. Whether you love sleeping under the stars, prefer having a few comforts from home, or bring your own home-on-wheels, you can create a camping experience that fits your style.

So, should you book a cabin, tent site or RV site?

Here’s how to decide.

Tent Camping: For the Classic Camping Experience

There’s something special about traditional tent camping. Falling asleep to the sounds of nature, waking up to the morning air and spending the evening around the campfire—it’s the camping experience many of us grew up with.

Our tent sites are a great choice if you want to spend as much time outdoors as possible and enjoy a more traditional camping getaway.

At Parry Sound KOA, you can choose from tent sites with no hookups or Premium Tent Sites with water and electricity. Many of our tent sites are surrounded by trees, giving you a peaceful place to set up camp and settle in for the weekend.

Tent camping might be right for you if you:

  • Love being outside from morning until night

  • Enjoy cooking and eating around the campfire

  • Don't mind getting a little dirt under your feet

  • Want a traditional camping experience

  • Are camping with kids who love the adventure of sleeping in a tent

  • Aren't afraid of using a little bug spray!

And don't worry—you don't have to rough it completely. You'll still have access to campground amenities, activities and everything you need to make your stay comfortable.

Cabin Camping: For the Best of Both Worlds

Want to experience camping without sleeping in a tent?

A cabin might be your perfect match.

Our Basic Cabins give you a comfortable place to sleep while keeping you close to the outdoors. They're a great option for campers who want a roof over their heads and a little more comfort at the end of the day.

Looking for something with even more comforts? Our Deluxe Cabins offer additional amenities, including bathrooms and kitchen facilities, making them a great option for guests who want a more relaxed camping experience.

Cabin camping is especially popular for:

  • Families with young children

  • Couples looking for a simple getaway

  • First-time campers

  • Guests who don't own camping equipment

  • Anyone who loves the outdoors but isn't quite ready to sleep in a tent

  • Weekend getaways where you want to pack a little lighter

You can spend the day exploring, swimming, playing games, enjoying campground activities or visiting Parry Sound—and then come back to a comfortable place to unwind.

It's camping, just with a few more comforts.

RV Camping: Bring Your Home With You

If you already have an RV, camping can be as simple as hitching up and hitting the road.

Parry Sound KOA offers a variety of RV sites, including standard water & electric back-In sites, pull-thru sites, and Premium Patio sites that have a BBQ & an additional outdoor living space.

RV camping is a great choice if you:

  • Already have an RV or travel trailer

  • Like having your own kitchen and bathroom with you

  • Enjoy longer camping trips

  • Want the convenience of bringing everything from home

  • Love setting up an outdoor living space

  • Travel with family or friends

  • Want to explore the area without giving up your usual comforts

So, Which One Is Right for You?

Think about what you want your camping trip to feel like.

Choose a tent if:
You want the most traditional, outdoorsy experience and love being close to nature.

Choose a cabin if:
You want to enjoy camping without bringing a tent—or you'd simply rather have a few extra comforts at the end of the day.

Choose an RV if:
You love travelling with your own space and want the convenience of bringing your home with you.

And honestly? There isn't a wrong answer.

One of the best things about camping is that you can do it differently every time. You might spend one summer in a tent, come back the next year in your RV, and eventually book a cabin for a relaxing weekend away. Whichever accommodation you choose, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy everything that makes our area special.

Spend your days exploring trails, enjoying the pool, playing mini golf, fishing, relaxing at your site or taking a trip into Parry Sound. Our campground also offers planned events and activities throughout the season, so there's always something happening.

Your perfect camping experience is waiting—you just have to decide how you want to camp.
