Our rig has arrived at the 2026 Ontario Grand Design Rally at Quinte Isles Campark in Cherry Valley, Ontario, and we are slowly turning our campsite into our little home-away-from-home. Set up is definitely still a work in progress — and honestly, we’ll probably keep puttering all weekend between all of the amazing events, activities, and time spent with fellow Grand Design owners.
There’s just something special about rally weekends: great people, shared camping stories, beautiful rigs, and that feeling of kicking off another season of adventures in comfort and style.
Here’s to campfires, community, and a weekend full of glamping memories!

MoreWow! This is such a great story Jesseca! I love all of the photos throughout and recognized many spots from my cross Canada road trip (Ontario to BC and back) that I took last spring, but with thankfully much less snow! As fair-weather glampers, I am immensely impressed with your passion and grit. Looking forward to checking out more on The Canadian Rubber Tramps!

Great article! I have never been snowmobiling either, but feel like it's much more accessible to me now. I remember travelling through this area last spring on my trip from Kingston, Ontario, to Vancouver - neat to read about the adventures that happen just off the highway once the snow falls....

Do you own your snowmobile? Rent or borrow?

These are great, practical birding tips (and the photos are beautiful!) - thanks for putting these together! I will be sure to share on my socials this spring when the campers are getting back out there. Another family friendly activity for everyone to enjoy.

Grass Creek Park looks like a fantastic place for dogs. Judging by the looks on your puppies faces, they love the park too. -
Janet Guthrie - They sure did!
-
This looks like a great place to visit - especially with dogs!
-
Sonya Richmond - Everyone had a great time at our Grass Creek Park adventure, but the dogs probably had the best time of all!
-
I love old red buildings for photographing
-
Thomas Worsley - makes for a nice contrast against the blue sky, doesn't it? What, specifically, do you love about old red buildings for photography?
-
Anja Cahill Same LOL

What a cool and unique experience! I'd like to give that a try someday....until then I think I need to work on my upper body strength
-
Janet Guthrie - you and me both! The boys say it was quite the workout... and very warm. Maybe add some hot yoga to your upper body workouts
-
Anja Cahill Good plan - build strength and a tolerance for the heat
-
I've always been intrigued by this, but I'm a little scared to give it a try
-
Sonya Richmond - I think that's why doing it in a group would be so helpful, lots of support and many hands to make light work
-
Anja Cahill In a group ... more people to accidentally maim? I'm sure it's perfectly safe, and that is a great idea!

Fabulous blog Thomas! I really enjoyed reading it and definitely picked up a few tricks to finding new places to hike... and tips to finding great hikes when exploring new places. I loved it some much I'll share it to my socials tomorrow!
