A fire engulfed several trailers at a campground east of Ottawa on Tuesday.

The fire broke out Tuesday evening at Mapleview Campground in Clarence Creek, about 45 kilometres east of downtown Ottawa.

Viewer photos and video show heavy smoke and damaged structures at the campsite on Landry Road.

Clarence-Rockland Fire Chief Martin Rousseau told CTV News Ottawa firefighters were initially called for a vehicle fire at the campground at around 5:20 p.m.

The fire had spread to a trailer, and high winds pushed the flames to several others, he said.

Firefighters were able to contain the blaze to a central area, but an estimated six to 10 mobile homes were destroyed.

No one has been reported hurt.

Rousseau said firefighters from Ottawa Fire Services and The Nation Fire Department assisted with the response.
