Urban Regenerative Gardens

2 sites ¡ RVs, Tents2 acres ¡ Sherbrooke, QC
This rare urban site acknowledges our Abenaki heritage, who camped and lived along these shores for centuries. Our beautiful urban location near highway 410 and Bishop's University, directly on St. Francis river, makes it an exceptional starting point for cyclists who want to enjoy the Route Verte path; fish, canoe, kayak or tube the river or simply explore all Sherbrooke has to offer.  Our birdlife is amazing and is a recognized birding location by provincial authorities, especially for swallows and chimney swifts. A fire pit will be made available, in respect of all fire bans, with firewood available for purchase. In 1910, Agriculture Canada set up a research centre that operated until the 1950's. The property was sold to a family that emigrated to Canada from Europe, to set begin a new life post WW2. In 2015, I purchased the property to return it to its roots - regenerative farming, training, hospitality, poverty relief and healthy living. Be our guest at The Farmhouse, a vibrant small-scale farm with a heart for the earth and its people. (https://www.thefarmhouse.store) Seasonal, fresh farm produce will be available for purchase as well as guided garden tours.   Located within 5 minute walking distance to Lennoxville (Bishop's University).  It's perfect for campers who like to experience "urban" camping. Some road noise. If you are concerned about the weather, the site provides the use of a 8 sleeper tent trailer for your convenience. During the day, you are welcome to relax in it too. Portable water will be provided, but bring your own drinks if possible. As a bonus treat, you are welcome to sleep in a very HIP camper, a 1980 retro dodge camper van. Bilingual service. ________________ Ce site urbain rare rend hommage à notre héritage abénakis qui a campé et vécu le long de ces rives pendant des siècles. (https://www.thefarmhouse.store) Notre belle situation urbaine à proximité de l'autoroute 410 et de l'Université Bishop's, directement sur la rivière Saint-François, en fait un point de départ exceptionnel pour les cyclistes qui veulent profiter du sentier de la Route Verte; pêchez, faites du canot, du kayak ou du tube sur la rivière ou explorez tout simplement tout ce que Sherbrooke a à offrir. Notre avifaune est incroyable et est un site d'observation d'oiseaux reconnu par les autorités provinciales, en particulier pour les hirondelles et les martinets ramoneurs. Un foyer au bord de la rivière sera mis à disposition, dans le respect de toutes les interdictions de feu, avec du bois de chauffage disponible à l'achat. Dans 1910, Agriculture Canada met sur pied un centre de recherche qui fonctionnera jusque dans les années 1950. La propriété a été vendue à une famille qui a émigré au Canada depuis l'Europe, pour commencer une nouvelle vie après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. En 2015, j'ai acheté la propriété pour la ramener à ses racines - agriculture régénérative, formation, hospitalité, lutte contre la pauvreté et mode de vie sain. En savoir plus sur ce terrain : Soyez notre invité à The Farmhouse, une petite ferme dynamique avec un cœur pour la terre et ses habitants. Des produits agricoles frais de saison seront disponibles à l'achat ainsi que des visites guidées du jardin. Situé à moins de 5 minutes à pied de Lennoxville (Bishop's University). Certains bruits de la route. Prestation bilingue.

Camping near Richmond guide

Overview

Surrounded by farmlands, this charming town in the Eastern Townships is filled with historic architecture, a convent-turned-arts centre, and brick homes with walled gardens that provide an English country village vibe. Set on the banks of the Saint-François River and surrounded by parks and wild places, Richmond makes a picturesque base for a camping trip, especially with its dozens of surrounding wineries.

When to go

The Eastern Townships are considered a four-season destination, but for those looking to get the most out of a camping trip, mid-June through to October is going to give you the most predictable weather. July and August can get busy, while fall is incredibly pretty and quieter than the summer months. Spring can be wet, and although some parks offer winter camping around Richmond, the extreme cold keeps campgrounds fairly empty.

Know before you go

  • If you don’t have your own vehicle, plan on renting one, as it'll be tough to explore this region without a car. Travelling by bike is also an option thanks to many planned bike routes that run through the Eastern Townships.
  • You can explore the Saint-François River by guided or self-guided tour by renting equipment from the Richmond Canoe-Kayak Center.
  • Richmond offers several electric vehicle charging stations.
  • Although most people working in tourism speak English fluently, you may well come across occasions where a translation app will come in handy. Not all signage (or business websites) in the region are bilingual.
