Quick Overview

Aylmer offers several RV dump stations for travelers passing through southwestern Ontario, though none of the some free options means you'll need to budget for dumping services. This lakeside community sits perfectly positioned for RVers exploring the north shore of Lake Erie or transitioning between Ontario's cottage country and points south.

Aylmer sits about 30 minutes southeast of London along Highway 3, making it a natural stopping point for RVers heading to or from the Peace Bridge crossing into New York. The town's location puts you within easy reach of Port Burwell Provincial Park and Turkey Point Provincial Park, both popular destinations for Ontario RV enthusiasts during summer months.

The dump station landscape here centers around private campgrounds and conservation areas rather than gas station sani-dumps. Springwater Conservation Area represents the newest addition to local dumping options, joining established RV parks that cater to both overnight guests and day-use visitors needing sanitary dump station access. Most facilities here focus on the seasonal camping crowd, with several offering full RV services beyond just waste disposal.

Highway 3 provides the main east-west corridor through Aylmer, connecting easily to Highway 401 via Highway 4 north through Tillsonburg. RV routing stays straightforward on these provincial highways, though downtown Aylmer's older streets can feel tight for bigger rigs. The area sees steady RV traffic from May through October as travelers head to Lake Erie beaches and conservation areas.

You'll find our complete listing of local dump stations below, with current pricing and access details for each location. Most facilities here operate seasonally, so calling ahead during shoulder seasons makes sense.

Traveling to Aylmer by RV

Highway 3 serves as your main route into Aylmer from either direction, connecting west to Chatham and east toward Simcoe and Port Dover. From Highway 401, take Exit 199 at Tillsonburg and follow Highway 4 south for about 25 kilometers to reach Highway 3. This route handles RVs of all sizes without restrictions, though watch for construction zones during summer months that can narrow lanes temporarily.

Downtown Aylmer's older residential streets weren't designed for large RVs, so stick to the main arteries like John Street and Talbot Street when navigating to dump stations. Several locations sit along Highway 3 itself, making access much simpler for bigger rigs. The conservation areas typically offer better maneuvering room than private campgrounds squeezed into older lots.

Overnight parking options stay limited in Aylmer proper, though the Walmart in nearby Tillsonburg allows overnight RV parking with permission. Rest areas along Highway 3 provide short-term stops but no overnight camping. During peak summer weekends, arriving early at dump stations helps avoid waiting behind other RVers, especially at the more popular conservation area locations that serve day campers and overnight guests.
