Summer Music Festivals You Can RV At
There are a lot of summer music festivals in Ontario, but not all of them offer onsite camping. So we have done some research to find which festivals offer campground accommodations on site to make your festival experience that much better.
You can go back and forth between your site and the music at ease, there is no worrying about a designated driver each day, and you can enjoy some great music and time outdoors with a group of friends at the same time!
So grab some tickets, get your RV ready or give us a call to rent one for these 2018 festivals:
