Highway 401 provides the main access route to Prescott, with Exit 721 (Highway 16 South) taking you directly into town. This is one of Ontario's most RV-friendly highways, with wide lanes and gentle grades that work well for larger rigs. The exit ramps are designed for truck traffic, so clearance isn't typically an issue for standard RVs.
The Prescott-Ogdensburg International Bridge connects to Interstate 81 in New York, making this a key crossing point for RVers traveling between the US and Canada. Bridge clearance is 14 feet, which accommodates most RVs but requires attention for taller units. Border crossing can add time to your travel, so plan accordingly during peak summer months.
Downtown Prescott features some narrow streets near the waterfront, but the main commercial areas along Highway 2 provide adequate maneuvering room for RVs. Parking at Canadian Tire and similar retail locations typically offers enough space for RV access. Winter driving conditions can be challenging with lake-effect snow from the St. Lawrence River, so check road conditions during cold months.

Their location on Highway 2 keeps you on the main route without navigating residential streets. The station includes a rinse hose, but bringing your own water for initial tank flushing helps speed up the process.

Winter access remains reliable since the main commercial areas stay well-maintained for year-round business traffic.
