Sleepy Cedars Campground - Ottawa


My goodness, someone slept till 11:00 am this morning and it wasn’t me.  

Breakfast quickly became Brunch as we ate our bacon and eggs with toast. 

As you can see it is a dreary rainy day.  We won’t be going downtown today.

I have plenty of things to do on the computer.  I won’t be bored.

It rains off and on for the early part of the afternoon.  We watch as others pack up and leave.

It stops raining, so I go out and check the engine oil and the battery fluid levels.  It is a good idea to check the batteries every couple of weeks, they can and will boil dry ( I learnt this first hand last fall ) if you do not keep an eye on them and keep the fluid levels topped up.  Even though we are plugged into hydro, there are still systems that use the 12 volts that the batteries supply.   It is a good habit to check them.  There are 3 batteries to check.  They were all fine.

As you can see in these next photos… the Sleepy Cedars Campground just got a whole lot “sleepier”  there is hardly any one around.

We had our dinner and after dinner I began to pack away a few of our outdoor chairs and mats and such.  We will be departing for home in the morning.  The more I put away tonight, the quicker our departure can be in the morning.   That is if we can get out of bed before the noon bell rings.

  1. Seems strange to see such an empty campground smack in the middle of summer.

    Safe travels whenever you get on the road today!!

    1. Yes, it is strange. I don't think it is well known, certainly it isn't on my Rand McNally RV GPS, nor is it on my Garmin GPS nor on Streets and Trips. We only discovered it while reading reviews of other Ottawa area campgrounds, and someone mentioned that they were not happy at one they had chosen and so they packed up and checked in at Sleepy Cedars. They loved it and so did we. I would go back in a heartbeat.
