first outing EVER in our new Travel Trailer
looking for a Very nice camping site within 3 hour drive from Kingston Ontario.
This will be our very first time out in our new TT. We've never done this before, used to camp in a tent a long time ago and that's it. So we are looking for luxurious, quiet campground with touristy or scenic touring nearby.
Any idea?

With a (NEW) trailer it sometimes helps to set up at (Home) first,and use everything! Makes for a much better (First Outing). Have fun! Youroo!!

I second this approach. There are going to be things that you need and didn't account for. It's easy to take care of these things when you are next to your house!
happy camping,

The KOA in Mallorytown is only 1 hr. away. We are close to the 1000 Island boat tours. KOA is having a special this month. You pay for Friday Sept 30 and a $10 donation to the Children cancer camp you camp Sat. for free. Also the Mallorytown KOA starts their hallowee'n weekends Sept. 17. The owners have created a great haunted trail. Have a great time in your new TT.

Ok so my better half and I have a date in our trailer on the front yard tomorrow night. We'll be spending part of the day and use it, cook, set it up etc. We'll then go to either the KOA thousand island or Mallorytown, not too far from home and practice and spend a week end.

Sounds like a good plan to me. There should be less pressure in your front yard and one advantage is that you can always take a time-out and come back to it refreshed if need be.

Victoria Park in Smith Falls is right in the village and by the Rideau Canal. It is a municipal campground but is quiet. That is where we spend our first trip as Canadian Tire, Walmart and Leisure Days RV are close by if you require anything. The sites are small and no fires allowed. Have fun

We've been to the kingston, 1000 island ivy lea and Cardinal KOA's. All are very nice and well kept. 1000 island is the priciest and most commercialized as far as site sizes etc. It is also the best outfitted as far as pools and hot tubs etc. I really enjoy it there.
My wife prefers the Cardinal KOA, a little more woodsy, the camp sites are in the tall pines.
Kingston will give you a great place to start from if you want to see the sites in the city...
happy camping,
