Book your RV site today for that front-row seat experience at this year’s International Plowing Match & Rural Expo

DUFFERIN COUNTY, Ontario - The Recreational Vehicle (RV) park is an always-popular component of the annual International Plowing Match & Rural Expo (IPM) and plans are shaping up to ensure this year’s event does not disappoint. “We know many of the RV guests are repeat visitors who follow the IPM around each year. 

They are expecting a great experience and our team is certainly looking to deliver that for them,” says Jack and Henriette Kottelenberg, co-chairs of this year’s RV Park. This year’s 80-acre RV Park almost 700 sites and organizers say bookings through the online portal are going strong, with only about a quarter of the available sites remaining. The local committee are using Let’s Camp this year, an online portal used by many Ontario campgrounds.

The Kottelenbergs say the online booking system takes both credit or debit cards, but want to reassure guests who may want to pay with cheque or etransfer they can certainly reach out to them for assistance. Among the advantages to staying at the exclusive RV Park is the convenient access guests have to all of the IPM activities, including complimentary shuttles to and from the Tented City and access to the Sunday afternoon worship service.

One of the most-popular attractions as a guest is the nightly entertainment in the RV park and between the local organizers and the Ontario Plowmen’s Association (OPA)—the parent host of the IPM—a stellar entertainment lineup is being assembled. Site prices include two daily admission passes and access to the on-site dump station. Site-specific pump outs are available, at an additional cost. Both serviced and unserviced sites are available, priced as follows
