Waterville is nestled into the north-western corner of Ohio, on the banks of the Maumee River. This charming, riverside town is located not far from I-75, a major highway that connects the bustling cities of Toledo and Cincinnati.

This fascinating town has been a significant place for merchants across America since its inception. In the beginning, the early Native American Community that settled here used the banks of the river to hold weekly councils. Then, when John Pray discovered the town in the 19th century, the first building to be constructed was a trading post and tavern. Finally, its significant location as a port on the Erie Canal as well as its newly earned status as a railroad stop meant Waterville saw many-a-merchant conducting business here!

Nowadays, Waterville is a hotspot for those wishing to uncover the towns fascinating heritage as well as the myriad of recreational opportunities presented by the Maumee River. Book an RV rental in Waterville to experience all this first hand!

Discover Waterville


The Great Outdoors

One of the main attractions, when you rent a motorhome in Waterville, is the scenic Maumee River. Beginning in Fort Wayne, the river runs for 130 miles through to Lake Erie. As you can imagine, this huge length of river boasts an incredible amount of opportunities for some recreational activities!

Fishing is one of the most popular past times on the Maumee River. With plenty of walleye, channel catfish and bass to catch, a skillful fisherman could be taking home a big bounty from a day spent fishing on the river. Camper rental in Waterville is especially popular from March through to April, when the annual ‘’Walleye Run’’ takes place. This natural spectacle takes place once the ice has started to melt, and the water hits a crisp temperature of 40 degrees. At this point, thousands upon thousands of fish start their journey down the Maumee River. Eagerly waiting for them are eager fishermen, hoping to catch one of the many fish that can measure at up to eighteen inches!

Kayaking, canoeing, and motorized boating are also popular ways to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Grab a boat from one of the touts in town, or bring your own to start enjoying the river. Much of the river consists of calm stretches of water; however, be aware that there are some rapids dotted sporadically along the river. These are perfectly safe and even a bit of fun when tackled correctly!

For those that would rather stay high and dry but still want to appreciate the scenic river views, cruise on over to one of the parks that sit on the banks of the river. A family favorite and just a five-minute walk outside of the village is the Waterworks Park. As well as easy access to the river, this park provides users with plenty of space to relax, picnic and enjoy the beautiful scenery!

RV Parks

When you choose an RV rental in Waterville, you will find most of the RV parks clustered around the town of Whitehouse. Here, you can find the Twin Acres Campground that provides campers with a great place to set up camp for the week. The Jacobs family have run this friendly campground since 1969 and maintained their stunning reputation ever since. This is perfect for any camper that prefer a quiet atmosphere with no compromise on the amenities offered. The Jacobs still offer all of their visitors full hookups, well-maintained washroom facilities and even a small fishing pond to enjoy!

Pitches are on the smaller side, and the shower facilities are a bit of a walk away.

Even more, located close to the town of Grand Rapids, you will have modern restaurants and grocery stores right on your doorstep!
