At the Renfrew Ottawa-West KOA Journey we provide paddle boats, row boats and canoes for rent which gives you an opportunity to explore :Yuill's Lake and maybe do some fishing.  Rentals are for 1 hour. Lifejackets are provided with the rental and must be worn in the vessel. An Adult must be in the vessel on the lake and must be the one to rent the boat at the office.

Renfrew Ottawa-West KOA Journey has firewood delivery and can be purchased at the office.  We strongly encourage campers to not bring firewood into our park to maintain the integrity of our forests.  Transporting firewood highly increases the likelihood of spreading disease and pests to our cherished forest.

The Labor Day long weekend has long since been one of the busiest weekends in the park. Halloween!! It's been creepy and spooktacular.  The outdoor decor speaks volumes and the decorating skills in the store by staff goes above and beyond.  Kids can be kids and safely go trick or treating; we often had surprise visits by many spooky and terrifying characters:  The Grim reaper often appears and disappears without a trace. 
This year our favourite and most requested event will be returning. 

Staff has been giving it their all for the HAUNTED FOREST WALK.  It's terrifyingly fun and keeps you on your toes. If you can make it through the walk without screaming, we will be very, very surprised.  

The weekend continues with our final big bang events of the summer:  kids games, 50/50 draw for CARE CAMPS.

In Memory of our Friend Brian Pilon there has been a plaque erected at our racetrack for RC cars and trucks. A dream to create a unique amenitiy that would set us apart from other places has become a reality.  
With hosting the URCA Tiny truck event, and having the races at the Pilon/Burgess track, it has finally became a reality. 
We have trails in the forest and the organizers have done an amazing thing to help allow that dream to come into existence.
