  • We stayed at Rideau Acres Campground in Kingston, Ontario in July for 2-nights with a bunch of family. It was a great stay and had many options for camping in Kingston, Ontario including seasonal sites, weekend sites, electric and non-electric - or full hook-ups (like we got). I hope you enjoy seeing around this campground and also a few things to do in the Kingston area.

    Thanks for watching! 🙌 Let me know if you think you'd enjoy staying at this kind of campground, or would prefer something more "in nature".

    Love camping! What a comprehensive review. I love how you really take us through everything from the start. Looks beautiful even with a few shortcomings! Always wanted to be a full time camper. The hiking looked beautiful. Sign me up!

      Thank you!! I try to keep it as informative as possible 😊 As we get more comfortable with camping, I could totally see myself living the full time RV life one day!

    Great overview of the campground. I think knowing the quality of cell phone and internet signal is so important. We definitely want to spend some time exploring that area.

      Thanks so much! It is important to know about the cell coverage as so many people are doi g full time RV life these days and even work from the campground.

    I love visiting Kingston! I'm not much of a camper I'm afraid (more of a glamper myself!) but I really love exploring the outdoors, hiking, etc. Hiking the Waterfront Trail is really appealing to me, and the brewery looks amazing! Gotta love those Kingston sunsets, too! Thanks for the tour and informative video.

    • @TheAverageTourist

      I'm not an "actual" camper either. I equate trailer camping with "deluxe van life" all the amenities and no getting wet sleeping in a tent. Kingston is beautiful - I love that area.

    Woah that’s good to know the cell service is bad there even with a booster. We as people have became so dependent on cell phones that it becomes a tragedy when we can’t get connected. And that’s cool they named the roads inside the park. Making it a little easier to navigate.

    I love that you went on a little adventure while Alan slept. I might start doing that as Craig sleeps longer too (although not too easy while in South America😅) glad the geese didn’t go for you! So nice that your family like camping too, great way to spend time with your sister!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  2 роки тому

      If I always waited for Alan it would be after lunch before we got out! 🤣 I love my solo adventures, but sometimes depending on the location it's not as relaxing or "safe". Yeah it has been a fun summer spending time with family outdoors!

    Love that big chair and when you slid haha. I find that funny. Such a big camp site and beautiful views. I love that there are a lot of amenities and activities in the campground. You will never get bored while relaxing. Here in New Zealand, check out on campsites is at 10am and checkin is 2pm. Doesn't make sense. Haha. Really enjoying the summer and RV life? Are you planning to still explore during winter? But will look forward for you videos on that ;)

    That big red chair at the start is so cool 😄
    It looks like an amazing campground and a lot to do at the grounds and the area.
    I like how the pathways all have street names, definitely easier to navigate. I’m so glad those ducks didn’t attack you 😅 you just never know what they’re going to do 🦆
    The scenery on your hikes are so beautiful! I like the waterfront trail especially, so beautiful walking next to the water.
    Wow, the beach sunset is stunning 🥰

    • @TheAverageTourist

      I loved that big chair! It was a great campground and the street signs were so helpful. The ducks actually chased someone the day before - so I was a tad nervous. Lots of beautiful water scenery at this park 😍

    I think we would enjoy camping in an area like this but that check out time is a little early. We would def venture out into Kingston.
    Good to know your sister was able to hike on the trail with a stroller...even though it sounds like it is not ideal!
