1 night at Happy Buddha Bell Tent

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!

Weekend Trip to Bogie's Farm

Beautiful and cozy space! Right near the lake, a walk down the road there, perfect place to swim and cool off on the summer days. Nice spot for campfires at night. Brought e-bikes and explored the back country roads but there’s nota of trails around as well to be discovered. Definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Happy Buddha Bell Tent

Absolutely breathtaking. This site is extremely private, it has many trails in which you can’t really get lost in as they all loop back into one another. The tent is extremely spacious and cozy and has just about everything you need. The only thing I would recommend is to purchase extra wood in advance or even whilst there as the kindling doesn’t last long.

Weekend Trip to Sunrise Silo Acres

We stayed in the safari tent November 16th. Despite the colder weather, the tent was cozy and comfortable with the help of the wood stove. Aiden provides wood for your stay, along with potable water and pretty much everything else that you need. Bring your beverages and food and unwind. Everything is curated with thought in mind, right down to the rechargeable lights in the outhouse automatically turning on when the door opens. The bed was unbelievably comfy! We will be back.

The best farm glamping near Grand Bend guide

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.
