Quick Overview
St. Catharines is the largest city in Ontario's Niagara Region, sitting between Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment along the busy QEW highway. It has several dump stations for RVers passing through, with some offering free access. The city's RV dump station and sani-dump facilities serve travelers heading to Niagara Falls, the wine country along the Niagara Parkway, and the campgrounds scattered across the Niagara Peninsula. As a sanitary dump station stop, St. Catharines is well-positioned on the QEW between Toronto and the US border at Niagara Falls, catching heavy RV traffic in both directions during the busy summer travel season. The city has about 135,000 people and full urban services -- everything from RV dealers to propane fill stations, grocery stores, and hardware shops. The Welland Canal runs through the city, and watching the massive cargo ships pass through the locks is a fun diversion while you're in the area.
