The best river, stream, or creek RV camping near Goderich guide

Where to go

Point Farms Provincial Park

Point Farms Provincial Park sits on a bluff with stunning views overlooking the water. Set up camp at one of the pull-through sites for car camping, RVing, or tent camping with electrical hookups and a short walk from water taps, comfort stations, free WiFi, and laundry facilities. Boating, biking, and birding for yellow bellied sapsuckers and orioles give campers plenty to do. Campers who plan to hunt should make sure to snag a small game hunting license for year-round hunting in the area.

Falls Reserve Conservation Area

Almost entirely surrounded by a loop in the Maitland River, Falls Reserve is an exciting family camping experience with a gorgeous natural backdrop—small waterfalls pouring over rocks with swimming holes below. Watch birds migrate in spring and fall, or take a hike through the dense 300-year-old oaks. Many campsites at Falls Reserve’s three campgrounds feature fire pits, picnic tables, and electrical, hydro, and water hookups with sewer access. Campers can pay for a day use pass at Fall Reserve’s entryway gate autopay box, or get a park membership pass for visiting any time of year.

Goderich Lighthouse

Guiding ships to safety since 1847, Goderich Lighthouse has a unique square shape that beckons visitors and locals alike to picnic and view stunning sunsets from 100 steps high. Hikers will enjoy Viewpoint Trail, culminating in a collection of original, historical cottages. Camping near the lighthouse includes glamping options close to Maitland River and Lake Huron’s shores.

When to go

Camping season around Goderich begins in May with Victoria Day and runs to October. Summer months are a popular time for camping and outdoor recreation, with average temperatures topping out at 24°C. With days stretching longer into nights, staying during summer also means the area’s notable sunsets are visible longer. For smaller crowds and cooler temps, plan to visit in spring or fall.
