Traveling to Fort Erie by RV

Fort Erie sits right off the QEW at Exit 2 (Garrison Road), making RV access straightforward from Ontario's primary highway. The Peace Bridge connects you directly to Interstate 190 in Buffalo, though RVs over 13'6" need to use the Rainbow Bridge instead due to height restrictions. Commercial vehicle routes through town can handle large rigs without issue.

Overnight parking options are limited in the immediate area, with most RVers either crossing into New York or heading to nearby campgrounds. The Flying J location allows overnight parking for customers, following standard truck stop policies. Winter driving requires extra caution due to lake-effect snow from Lake Erie, and border wait times can extend significantly during peak travel periods.

Route planning should account for potential border delays, especially on summer weekends and holiday periods. The area's flat terrain makes for easy RV navigation, but winter conditions can change rapidly near the lake.
