We spent the May long weekend at one of the overnight sites at Nith River Campground. We stayed for three nights and had such a wonderful time. We had no problem finding the campground as the signage from the road is very clear. The campground is very well taken care of. The bathroom/shower buildings were sparkling, garbage area was tidy, no litter to be seen anywhere in the park. Definitely the cleanest campground our family has ever visited. There were lots of activities to keep our kids (13&11) busy. Basketball court, volleyball court, playground, well-stocked pond for catch&release fishing, hiking trails, evening events put on in the rec hall, etc. Can't wait to visit at a later point in the summer when the pool is open! The children of the families on the seasonal sites were great at being welcoming and inviting our kids to hang out basically all weekend. Everyone we talked to was kind and polite. Despite it being a long weekend and the park being busy, we didn't find it to be loud. We had enough privacy on our site. The staff that we met in the office and out in the park were friendly and knowledgeable. The owner, Doug, made sure we had everything we needed and that we were happy with our stay. It was lovely to chat with him (and meet his three adorable pups!). Thank you to Doug and his family for making our stay a positive one!

Park is nice but need to have better rules. Site was nice leading right to the pond all down hill tho. Pool is big, I thought it was heated but wasn't and was cold (no big deal we still swam). Other campers need to respect site areas and not walk through sites to get to pond. Wasn't very nice of the ppl that put garbage in our firepit while they were fishing.

Very great experience! We have four kids and stayed in the little cabin. There is a massive pool and large playground that the kids loved. Very nice people. Will be coming again.

We have visited Nith River Campground every summer, and we can’t say enough about the property, fellow campers, the amenities and the owners. Doug, Mary and Jason are always available and make you feel right at home. My kids love the pool, the playground, taking hikes in the forest, riding their bikes, and especially fishing in the pond. You won’t be disappointed! Thanks for making us feel so welcomed every visit!

Definitely a hidden gem in the Waterloo Region! Booked their cabin for the weekend and it’s been perfect for our family. The playground is huge and the little kids enjoy it, there are horse show pits, volleyball courts and a basket ball court. The catch and release pond is a super nice time with kids and the pool is absolutely perfect for those with younger to older kids. Looking forward to coming back again and hopefully securing a seasonal site next year!
