Getting to Waterdown with your RV is pretty straightforward via the QEW and Highway 6 North. Take Exit 78 (Highway 6/Guelph Line) and head north for about 8 kilometers to reach Dundas Street. The route has good clearance for big rigs, though you'll want to watch for the railway overpass on Highway 6 - it's fine for standard RV heights but worth noting. Highway 5 (Dundas Street) runs east-west through town and handles RV traffic well, connecting directly to Hamilton and eventually Toronto to the east. From the west, Highway 5 provides a scenic alternative to the busier QEW corridor. RV parking in downtown Waterdown is limited, so plan your route to the dump station accordingly. The area doesn't have designated overnight parking for RVs, but several Tim Hortons locations have spacious lots if you need a quick stop. Winter driving requires extra caution on Highway 6's hills, especially during freezing rain events that are common in this part of Ontario.
