Camp Quetico — Ultra Modern Drive-In Fishing & Hunting Resort For Sale, Eva Lake
Camp Quetico is an ultra-modern drive-in fishing and hunting resort on the shores of Eva Lake, 160 km west of Thunder Bay and bordering Quetico Provincial Park. The fishery is multi-species — smallmouth bass, walleye, northern pike, and lake trout — and the camp runs both American Plan and Housekeeping Plan packages, with guided and unguided trips available across more than 40 lakes within easy reach.
Hunting is built into the business model, not added on. Spring and fall bear hunts are offered with 42 bear tags included in the sale. Alongside the fishing and hunting operations, Camp Quetico runs an established canoe outfitting business serving Quetico Park — kevlar solo, two-seater, and three-seater canoes, outfitting gear, and shuttle vans all transfer with the property.
The physical plant sits on 6.5 acres of deeded land and includes 9 ultra-modern cabins (one to four bedroom) with full four-piece bathrooms, large decks overlooking Eva Lake, and full kitchens, plus 3 motel-style one-bedroom units — every unit equipped with satellite TV and satellite internet. The 4,500+ sq ft main lodge houses a well-stocked store, a dining room for American Plan guests, a commercial kitchen, and three-bedroom owner/operator living quarters.
This is a turnkey operation with an established, high-repeat customer base and a consistent track record of return. The current owners have made yearly upgrades across the property, and an LUP already in place — with ESA-approved electrical service installed — opens the door to seasonal or daily campsite development for a buyer looking to expand.
Eva Lake sits in the heart of Sunset Country, 160 km west of Thunder Bay and a short drive from the town of Atikokan — the gateway to Quetico Provincial Park, one of Canada's premier wilderness canoeing destinations. Unlike many Northwestern Ontario lodges that require fly-in or boat-only access, Camp Quetico is reachable directly by road off Highway 11, a meaningful advantage for guests, suppliers, and staff alike.
The fishery extends well beyond Eva Lake itself. With access to more than 40 surrounding lakes, the resort offers walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, and lake trout across a range of water types — giving repeat guests new water to explore on every visit, and giving guided trips real variety to sell. The bear hunting program takes advantage of the resort's position bordering Quetico Park, with baited stands within a short drive of camp.
The marine and outfitting assets included in this sale represent a significant share of the business's value. A full fleet of boats and motors serves Eva Lake and the surrounding outlying lakes, with a separate fleet of guide boats, motors, and vehicles for guided trips. The hunting program and the established canoe outfitting business for Quetico Park add two further income streams beyond room nights and meal plans.
Camp Quetico sits on 6.5 acres of deeded land on Eva Lake, 160 km west of Thunder Bay via Highway 11 — drive-in access the entire way, with no fly-in or water-only transfer required. A separate Land Use Permit (LUP) covers a campsite area, and an ESA-approved electrical service is already installed for that site, putting seasonal or daily campsite development within reach for a new owner without starting from zero on permitting or infrastructure. Additional expansion opportunities exist and can be discussed with interested parties.
