The best camping in Eastern Townships with campfires

·

Also known as “Cantons de l'Est,” Eastern Townships is a region full of small towns, mountain spas, vineyards, and forests—all quintessential Québec. Hike along Brome and Mégantic Lakes, or enjoy fishing, boating, and waterskiing. Traverse the hilly vistas of Mont-Orford National Park, and kayak across Réservoir Choinière in Yamaska National Park. After a day exploring the region, find furnished and rustic cabins, campgrounds, and amenity-rich RV parks with electric and water hookups, game rooms, and restaurants. Many of Eastern Townships’ campsites are also near attractions like Owl’s Head Ski Resort, Coaticook, Lake Memphremagog, and the lavender fields of Bleu Lavande.

This beautiful, historic property was one of the first to be settled in the early 1800s. The credited first settler in Charleston, Vermont; Abner Allyn and his family owned this farm for 100 years! Our family began restoring the farmhouse as well as beginning a small regenerative farming operation in 2022. Currently we have a small flock of broilers and layers, turkeys, ducks and guineas. Our birds are fed an organic feed local to Vermont and are pasture raised. Freya an Luna are the Great Pyrenees' about the farm. They protect the flocks from predators. They are working dogs and have access to the entire property. For this-and other reasons, we discourage bringing pets to the farm. A sweet brook meanders through the property which all sites have access to as well as stunning views of bald mountain. Lovely farm views throughout the seasons. Multiple trails for exploring can be found on and off farm. Trail heads to multiple mountains are within a few minutes of campsites. Lake Willoughby is a short 4 miles away, 7 miles to Island Pond, as well as endless hiking, biking, fishing, canoeing and more.

As private as private gets but only 6 miles to Newport Vt. There is a creek and a one acre pond (20 feet deep). It is all mixed hard and softwoods. It has some magnificent old growth trees 100 foot tall. There is a good rd that my friend has used with his Lincoln. Most any vehicle (car or Pickup)can get to the site. It gets a little tricky if you are pulling a trailer. A small one is OK but a large one - not so much....... The rd goes 1/2 mile to the rear of the land. Moose, deer and other critters visit too. We live 1/2 mile away from where you enter the woodlot. Our house is on Brownington Pond (200+ acres) & campers can use this site for swimming, boating & fishing. For more info call 863220 5881 Excellent drinking water is available from the hose at our house. Fires are allowed and we supply the firewood at no extra charge.

This rare urban site acknowledges our Abenaki heritage, who camped and lived along these shores for centuries. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE CAN ONLY ACCEPT SELF CONTAINED CAMPERS THIS YEAR. WE CAN'T SUPPLY OR SUPPORT TOILET FACILITIES THIS YEAR. VEUILLEZ NOTER QUE CETTE ANNÉE, NOUS N'ACCEPTONS QUE DES CAMPEURS AUTONOMES. NOUS NE POUVONS PAS FOURNIR NI ENTRETENIR DE TOILETTES. 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.

The best camping in Eastern Townships with campfires guide

Where to go

Parc National du Mont-Orford

Nestled among the towering peaks of Mont Orford and Mont Chauve, Mont-Orford National Park lets hikers take in majestic views from Bear Peak via Cretes Trail and Pekan Trail. Canoeing, cycling, rock climbing, swimming, and paddle surfing keep campers active in summer waters as well, while snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are available in wintertime. Camp within the park at its rustic campsites or in more amenity-filled campgrounds with full restrooms and supply shops.

Lake Memphremagog

Explore the 21 islands of Lake Memphremagog while sailing or canoeing through its waters. The lake is especially popular for fishing—it teems with sunfish, yellow perch, rock bass, largemouth bass, and bullhead catfish. Campers can stay in nearby cabin rentals and campsites close to bait and tackle shops, supply stores, and restaurants.

Bleu Lavande

Renowned for its lush lavender fields and gardens, Bleu Lavande farm offers lavender soap-making workshops and other farm events to interested visitors. Bleu Lavande is open year-round and features an onsite boutique as well as nearby cabin rentals, campsites, and RV parks.

Coaticook

Visit Coaticook on the Coaticook River to traverse the longest suspended footbridge in North America. Campers will also enjoy exploring the town’s historic features, such as the Château Arthur-Osmore-Norton, which was built at the turn of the 20th century and now houses the Musée Beaulne. Coaticook is also renowned for its dairy industry, so take a moment to sample its famous cheeses and ice cream during a daytrip.
