Quick Overview
Stonecliffe is a small community on the Ottawa River in the Upper Ottawa Valley, positioned along the stretch of Highway 17 between Deep River and Mattawa in eastern Ontario. It's not a place you'd stumble on by accident, but RVers traveling the Trans-Canada through northern Ontario know it as a handy service stop in an otherwise remote corridor where facilities are few and far between. The area has several dump stations, with some offering free access to travelers who need to manage their tanks. The local RV dump station and sani-dump facilities serve cross-country RVers on the Trans-Canada as well as those heading to or from Algonquin Park's east gate via Highway 17 and the Mattawa connector routes. Stonecliffe sits about 40 minutes west of Deep River and roughly an hour east of Mattawa, in a stretch where sanitary dump station services are spread thin and alternatives mean a significant detour. Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park is nearby and serves as a popular camping base for the area, drawing canoeists, anglers, and RVers who want to explore the Mattawa River system. For RVers, having a dump station option in this remote part of the Ottawa Valley is a real convenience since the alternatives mean diverting to either Deep River or Mattawa and losing time on your travel day. The highway through the area follows the river valley and offers some of the most scenic driving in eastern Ontario -- tall white pines, granite outcrops, and sweeping river views for kilometres on end. The listings below cover what's available for managing your tanks in the Stonecliffe area.

Highway 17 (Trans-Canada) is the only major road through Stonecliffe, running along the Ottawa River valley between Deep River and Mattawa. Coming from the east, Deep River is about 40 minutes away, and from the west, Mattawa is roughly an hour of driving. The highway is two lanes with limited passing opportunities through this stretch, and the road follows the contours of the Ottawa River with some curves and grades that require attention with a larger rig. Fuel availability is limited in the immediate area -- fill up in Deep River or Mattawa since there aren't always options in Stonecliffe itself. Cell service is spotty through much of this corridor, so download your maps and confirm dump station details before you head into the area. If you're heading to Algonquin Park's east gate, Highway 17 to Mattawa and then south on Highway 533 is the route, about 90 minutes from Stonecliffe.

Explore the Stonecliffe Area
In an area this remote, planning ahead is everything -- don't assume services will be available without confirming first. Confirm dump station hours and availability before you arrive since seasonal operations can vary year to year. Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park, a short drive from Stonecliffe along the highway, has camping and is a beautiful spot to overnight if you want to break up the long Highway 17 drive with some time along the Mattawa River. Fresh water fill-ups may be available at the dump station, but bring your own hose and don't count on amenities beyond the basics. Propane can be harder to find in this area, so top up in a larger town before you pass through. The Ottawa River has excellent fishing if you have time to stop, and the sunsets over the river from the highway pull-offs are worth pulling over for after a long day on the road.
