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. . Portable water will be provided, but bring your own drinks if possible.

I was just there for an overnight on my first ever Hipcamp. It was a wonderful quiet campsite located close town so that I could go get all of the things I forgot to bring. Camping by the river was amazing. I could walk about 20 yards from my site and swim in a pristine smooth flowing river. Émilie and Dominique were awesome. Emilie brought me some blankets and Dominique kept me stocked with firewood. Great experience that I’ll definitely repeat next time I’m in The Sherbrooke area.

Très belle endroit, donne face à la rivière donc agréable. Possibilité de faire du paddle ou kayak. Il y avait un rond pour faire un feu, une table de camping. Ça donne au soleil jusqu'au soir, à l'ombre le matin. Je recommande cette endroit. Nous étions seul quand nous y sommes allés mais possible que le spot peut accueillir un autre campement. L'hôte a bien expliqué les consignes et reste disponible.

Sebastien was more than helpful with ensuring I had everything I needed before and during my stay! He was even able to give me a river view for a few nights and ensured I had a pleasant time on his property. I had read past reviews talk about birding but was thrilled to hear and see birds I never knew existed (a veery and flickers). Have the merlin app to help you determine which bird youve got! I felt surrounded by nature and removed from our busy life but were only a minute drive from grocery and stores. Perfect place to camp! Thanks again

This was one of the best places we have stayed. It was a wonderful spot with beautiful views. Although there are no bathrooms, there is a Tim hortons and grocery stores 5 minutes away. The down part was the wind blowing however it really gave that rustic experience!

Thank you Sebastien. We arrived bit late and were short of water but Sebastien provided even the drinking water which saved us a trip to convenient store. He was very helpful and kept in touch with us in case we needed anything. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The site was well kept, safe by the river and the host is very responsive and helpful. Thanks again Sebastien and hope to see you soon

When to go
The best time to plan a camping trip to Lac-Mégantic depends on what you plan to do, as this truly is a four-season destination with many parks offering winter camping. Fall in the Eastern Townships is spectacular (what with all those changing maple leaves and harvest bounty), while July and August offer incredible weather but busy attractions. Spring can be a bit wet for camping, so pack accordingly.
Know before you go
- On Saturday mornings throughout the summer, Lac-Mégantic has a market where you can pick up local produce, see live music, and grab a bite to eat.
- Not far from Lac-Mégantic is a border crossing into Vermont. Be sure to have appropriate documentation should you intend to hop over to the US.
- Cell reception is usually great in the Eastern Townships, but it can be spotty once you get out into provincial parks and more remote areas.
- This area is pretty tough to explore without a vehicle, so you’re best off bringing your own or renting a campervan.
