That's quite a hike you'll be making, that's for sure! It'd be good to do a lot of reading on the area first since it's a huge area with so much to do, and something for all tastes. The others have given you good info on campgrounds. The one I know best is Pinewood Park, just to the southeast of Cobden. It's well off the road so you won't get any highway noise. Here's a link to all the camgrounds in the Ottawa Valley: www.ottawavalleyguide.ca/ I see Pinewood is in there but the site says "seasonal only" so perhaps they don't allow short-term stays. Other than that Bona Vista, just to the west of Cobden, is the closest to Cobden (about a kilometre away), between Pembroke and Cobden. However, I haven't been there so don't know much about it. It has been there for at least 25 years! 2005 Antigua 305QBS • Toyota Sequoia 4.7L V8 240hp 315tq 4.10 axle Prodigy, Hensley Arrow, Barker 3000, Airlift 1000s Garmin Nuvi 760 Nav, XM Sat Radio Our Excellent Camping Adventures • Magical Flying Camper Club Geodude • View posts Ottawa, Ontario Senior Member Joined: 05/25/2003 View Profile Offline Posted: 10/20/03 08:29am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Forgot to say anything about Cobden itself! Cobden is a small farming town of about 1000 people. The main highway, highway 17 passes thru it (the municipal park is right beside that road and although it's a nice park the noise from traffic would be, um, noticeable!). Cobden is the only town for a few hundred miles west of Ottawa that hasn't been bypassed by the newer parts of Highway 17. That's because there are major fights going on about the eventual routing of the highway. The town has a nice little main drag that runs off the highway. Lots of nice little stores of the type you'd expect in a small farming town. I suppose you could say it's quaint, and similar to many such towns on the continent. The people there are friendly and there is a real sense of community, again, like many small towns! Pembroke, population 15,000, is 20 miles west. A major military base, Petawawa is another 10 miles to the west. Ottawa, Canada's capital, is about 60 miles to the east. The region is dotted with small old lumber and farming towns, and quite a variety of history related to the original settlers who came from Poland, Germany, Ireland and so on. bsinmich • View posts Holland, MI Senior Member Joined: 11/18/2000 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Offline Posted: 10/20/03 05:52pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Riverside Park in Pembroke is right on the Ottawa River and just across the River from Quebec province. The whole Ottawa Valley is a great place to visit. Pine Ridge is a private CG a few miles North of Pembroke and still on the river. If you are there over Labor Day weekend you will see the RVs rafted together on the sites for the Fiddle Days in Pembroke. Take a trip up to Chalk River and visit the Atomic Energy Canada. They had a great tour a couple years ago. We go at least once a year and look forward to it every year. There are a few places that do white water rafting in the area also. I haven't bothered to check that out myself. 2003 Newmar Mountain Aire, Workhorse W22, & 2002 PT Cruiser w/Remco lube pump, Falcon 5250, & US Gear Unified Tow Brake This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  Page of 2   Next Open Roads Forum  >  RVing in Canada and Alaska  > COBDEN, PEMBROKE
