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.

2 nights at Urban Regenerative Gardens

It's a lovely little farm, dog friendly and the volunteer host is so kind and thoughtful! She picked fresh leaves that have a calming property and gave me a tour of the farm - I saw the chicken coup "she lovingly calls the ladies" and the garden in front is incredible! Amazing river front but I did not have the time to take a dip. Chris is very responsive and allowed me to extend my stay last minute! It's a slice of heaven that is close to everything. Lennoxville lovely village is walking distance!

Wheelchair-accessible camping near Lac-Mégantic guide

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.
