The location is very close to Goderich and the beach. We stayed one night but will rebook for longer periods next time. Melanie is nice and generous. She let us pick raspberries and gave us 2 zucchini’s to take home. Thank you for the warm welcome. Blessings, Aimee and Fernando

We had an awesome night in the bell tent! It was one of the most secluded sites we've ever stayed at. The tent is set back very far on the property, which made it feel like we had the whole place to ourselves. The weaving hiking trails were a great walk in the morning, and the viewpoints along the way were incredible. We'd definitely recommend staying and would love to come back!

3 nights at Free to Pause Campsite

The owners are lovely and were very nice. The river was not swimmable and locals said they don't swim in it as it's too green and filled with goose poop. But it is wonderful to live beside as nature is alive and beautiful. The outdoor kitchen was lovely although I didn't cook there. But there's an actual small oven. And it was nice to have the sink to brush my teeth and wash dishes. The kitchen is well equipped with cooking pots annd utensils and essentials like oil and salt etc. There is a pit toilet that worked well. Also a fire pit but I was there during a fire ban. My main purpose was to go to the theatre in nearby Stratford. And hotels are so expensive. And this is about 20 min away. So u went from tent to theatre. Win win! Would recommend this independent campsite for sure.

Where to go

Grand Bend Beach

As residents know, Grand Bend’s Main Beach is the heart of town and an ideal spot to kick back, take in the sun, comb the shoreline, swim in the lake, or try jet-skiing and parasailing (which you can arrange with nearby rental shops). Because of Grand Bend’s small size, there’s something special about a picturesque, sandy beach being the true centre of the community. South Beach is just as beautiful but often less crowded, so it’s perfect for catching a magnificent sunset melting into Lake Huron’s waters. Camping options near Grand Bend Beach include RV sites, waterside glamping, or even remote waterfall campsites.

Pinery Provincial Park

Spanning more than 10 kilometres of Lake Huron’s shores, Pinery Provincial Park is one of Grand Bend’s main attractions. Explore the rare and biodiverse Oak Savanna and Coastal Dune ecosystems, watch one of Canada’s best sunsets, or take advantage of local rentals for canoeing, hydro biking, or kayaking up the Old Ausable Channel (an important wetland for the area). Pitch your tent by the shore or even rent a unique dome tent—a semi-permanent, spacious shelter that usually comes hooked up with heat and other amenities.

Rock Glen Conservation Area

Head south of Grand Bend to discover Rock Glen Conservation Area. It’s a short hike to the destination: a powerful, remote waterfall with an idyllic swimming spot. Perfect for warmer days, this trek is made even better by vistas and viewpoints with a better sightline of the nearby gorge. The main trails require the use of steep stairs (about 100 steps each) to safely reach the bottom of the gorge, though there are also accessible trails to explore the park. Spend the night tent camping on wooded farmland, checked into a rustic cabin in the heart of an expansive nature reserve, or in your RV overlooking the placid waters of Lake Huron.

When to go

As a beach town first and foremost, Grand Bend is an extremely popular destination in summer for visitors from Toronto and the U.S., and summer is the best time to visit. The cold winters (average high of 2°C in December) aren’t exactly conducive to swimming and sunbathing, but a beach town is beautiful in any weather. While water is best enjoyed in warmer months, the trails and hikes around town are still well worth doing in late spring and early fall.
