Riverside Resort, a small campground in West Grey County, Ontario, is offering guests a riverside retreat along the Styx River with a mix of short-stay accommodations aimed at campers and small trailer travelers.
The property spans just over two acres and includes a corner store and bistro for guest convenience.
The resort caters to visitors seeking a quiet, nature-focused experience. Loud parties are discouraged, and there are no seasonal sites, maintaining an atmosphere suited to short-term stays and small groups.
The majority of campsites are designed for tents and small trailers up to 23 feet, making the destination suitable for travelers with compact setups.
Accommodation options include riverside tent and RV sites with basic amenities such as electrical hookups under 30 amps, firepits, and access to central washrooms with hot showers.
Many sites offer both sunny and shaded areas among cedar trees, and all are within walking distance of shared facilities.
Beyond tenting options, Riverside Resort features a few roofed accommodations. The open-concept Bunkie sleeps two and includes a queen-size bed, kitchenette, and porch BBQ.
Guests must bring their own linens, as the unit is not winterized. The Riverview Loft, a two-bedroom suite, provides a higher-end alternative with views of the river, a living area, a kitchenette, and a bathroom with a large shower.
The resort also provides Wi-Fi, a playground, and recycling bins, though services like laundry and potable water hookups are not available on most sites. Firewood can be purchased onsite for $10 per bag. Pets are allowed on leash, with quiet hours encouraged for all guests.
For campground owners and operators in the outdoor hospitality sector, Riverside Resort’s approach reflects growing demand for compact, experience-driven stays.
By emphasizing smaller accommodations, short-term rentals, and quiet, natural surroundings, the park caters to a segment of travelers seeking simplicity over luxury.
This model aligns with industry trends that favor low-impact, nature-integrated camping experiences while maintaining operational efficiency through limited amenities and minimal infrastructure.
