The best campgrounds near Grand Bend, Ontario with fishing

Grand Bend is a magnet for campers who want to cast a line and unwind by the water. If you’re after fishing spots, you’ve got over 50 campsites to choose from—each one with direct access to rivers or lakes that locals swear hold pike and bass. Expect nightly rates that average $60, but you’ll find options dipping as low as $40 if you’re looking to keep it simple. Showers, pet-friendly policies, and on-site toilets are standard at most sites. When you’re not fishing, you can hit nearby trails for a hike, take a winter dip into snow-sports, or cool off with a swim. The standouts? The Riverbend (84 reviews) sits right on the water and draws anglers back year after year. Monarch Meadows Tree Farm (49 reviews) is surrounded by woods, with easy lake access. For something a bit different, cross the border to Step Back in Time with Us! (45 reviews) for a quiet retreat with plenty of shoreline. If you want to fish, Grand Bend’s campgrounds put you right where you need to be.

We had a such a great 2 nights at Riverview. David was waiting for us upon arrival, which was great for me and my 2 kids. I recommend the Glamping bundle- we were later arrivals and earlier departure, so it was nice to not have to set up and dismantle a tent. Perfect site for the kids and dog!! Will definitely be back.

David was a wonderful host. We're not avid campers I felt like we were bugging David a bit to much than I'd like but, he helped us out a lot. The apot is nice and well maintained and very close to the river. A nice secluded spot to wind down.

My second time to camp at Monarch Meadows Tree Farm these summer, brought my family 21/2 grand daughter and a dog what else to say we all “LOVE IT” we had so much fun, played games, guys went fishing for hours. Storm on our first night but nothing stop us, like my husband said its camping lol, but the best of all star gazing the moon is out so beautiful. David was so accomodating he will help you in every way to make you feel home, and his daughter who was with him on the day we arrived shes a sweetie. Definitely were going back to camp again, its peaceful place to enjoy time with family and life in nature.
