Hunting near Lake Erie | Maitland Shores Resort
Why Maitland Shores is Ontario's Best Hunting Base Camping
The Grand River is one of Southern Ontario’s most iconic systems for guided steelhead fishing trips, known for its accessible water, scenic valley, and strong seasonal runs of Great Lakes steelhead. Stretching over 300 kilometres, the Grand flows from the highlands near Dundalk through Fergus, Elora, and Paris before joining Lake Erie. Its wide glides, deep pools, and consistent flow make it an ideal river for both beginners and experienced anglers. The Grand is best explored by drift boat, allowing full access to prime swing water and less-pressured sections that hold fish throughout the season. If you’re also interested in outdoor adventures, consider exploring the area for an exhilarating experience in the wilderness.

Why Maitland Shores is Ontario's Best Base Camp
Most campgrounds in Ontario ask you to choose between productive habitat and comfortable accommodation. At Maitland Shores, you do not have to make that trade-off. The resort sits inside Haldimand County hunting country — the Grand River marshes, Lake Erie shoreline, and surrounding agricultural fields are right outside the gate, not a long drive away. Full-hookup RV sites with water, sewer, and 30/50 amp electric give guests a genuinely comfortable base camp after long days in the field. The on-site marina provides boat launch access into the Grand River and Lake Erie — a real advantage for those who need to reach marsh areas by water. ATV trails on the property allow guests to cover ground efficiently and move gear without multiple foot trips. The resort is pet-friendly, which matters for those running retrievers. Seasonal site guests regularly use Maitland Shores as their anchor for the entire fall season — from the early Canada goose season in September through the main deer firearm season in November.
Those who partake in outdoor activities will find themselves in some of the best habitats for game.
Each season brings a unique opportunity for Hunting enthusiasts to explore.
