The Great Outdoors

Thanks to Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair, when you rent an RV in Merlin, you’ll never be short on great watersport activities. Anglers will delight in a day out on the waters of Lake St. Clair where charter tours are available from several companies located in Chatham-Kent. The region is considered one of the premier destinations for muskie fishing along with walleye and small-mouth bass. No boat, rod, or tackle is needed, just your fishing acumen and a positive attitude.

RV Parks

One of the closest places to camp with your RV rental in Merlin is at the Lakeside Village Motel and RV Resort. It’s a low-key RV park but still has full hookups, showers, laundry facilities, and most importantly, a private beach with excellent swimming. If you’re looking for a quiet place to stay when visiting Merlin, Lakeside Village is a spot to consider.

Exploring the City

For a little culture when you get a motorhome rental in Merlin, plan for a night out at The Capital Theatre in Chatham-Kent. It’s home to over 100 live performances and nearly as many film screenings each year, so you’re bound to find something worth seeing during your stay in Merlin. There’s also the Tilbury Arts Center just a short drive away, which houses an art gallery, concert hall, and studio space where visitors can take music lessons.

My wife and I rented the QuadPodz for a week-long leaf-peeping trip in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and it made our adventure unforgettable. The van’s battery, solar, and water systems easily support 2-3 days off-grid. Heating kept us cozy on chilly mornings, and there’s ample storage plus a comfy bed for two. Cooking was a highlight- spacious kitchen, powerful induction stove, full cookware set, and good fridge space. All systems were simple to use. Marc was an excellent host- helpful, responsive, and thorough. A thoughtfully equipped van, highly recommend for your next adventure!
