With 2000 secluded feet on the spectacular Tomifobia river in the Eastern Townships, Riverstone Farm is the perfect camping getaway for nature lovers of all ages. Enjoy the quiet shores of the Tomifobia on site or venture out- There is lots to do in this part of the Eastern Townships minutes from the Vermont border. Hike Mount Orford, Mount Pinnacle in Barnston or the Coaticook Gorge, spend the day at the beach- Lakes Lister, Massawippi and Memphremagog are nearby or cross the border into Vermont and swim in the clear waters of lake Willoughby. There is also golf at Dufferin heights, cycling paths, shopping and quaint villages to explore. I would be delighted to help you plan some activities to make the most of your visit. A recently planted, fenced in food forest with picnic tables is the perfect place to watch the sunset as you let your dogs run free, while trails in the forest allow you the opportunity to explore the forested area by the river. A fire pit, two picnic tables with umbrellas, four Adirondak chairs, washrooms offer additional amenities to enjoy your stay. Please note that though I only accept 1 group of campers per visit so you can enjoy your intimacy in the evenings with your friends and family, you will not have exclusive use of the food forest during the day as I may need to attend to my trees for weeding, harvesting or other. Most guests leave at some point for an outing so schedules can easily be coordinated. Extras include: a $5 per pet extra charge, $5 hot coffee morning service, and $10 local maple syrup. Please note that the base rental price includes 2 people so any more (for a maximum of 6) are charged $10 per person.

Weekend Trip to Purple Sunset

My wife and I had such a wonderful time. The place was peaceful, comfortable, and beautifully maintained , you can really feel the care that goes into it. Alain was an exceptional host. He was welcoming, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. It’s rare to meet someone who genuinely puts so much heart into making guests feel at home. We left feeling refreshed and grateful for the experience. We can’t wait to come back! ☺️

Very nice camping spot: private, lot of space, very clean. Very dog-friendly and the fence makes it easy and safe for the dogs. The large fire pit and tables with umbrellas make it very comfortable. I recommend!

Weekend Trip to Private River Sunset Camping

The gated food forest was so pretty and clean. We loved the soft grass, huge fire pit, and the two large umbrellas and tables. Our dog was able to roam around and play safely. The location is beautiful with rolling hills and farms. Nicole and Robert were very friendly and kind. They recommended some great hikes and festivals going on in the area. We would love to come back in the Fall to see all the colours.

The sunsets were beautiful ( reds,oranges,pinks and purples) Little fire area and a good amount of land to roam around. The tiny house had what was needed. It was very quaint and cozy. The host Alain was really kind and easy to talk to.

We enjoyed our stay on Nicole’s land. It was a very private spot with great birdsong, a short walk down to a beautiful river, lovely sunsets, two sturdy picnic tables, comfortable Adirondack chairs, and a nice lounge chair perfect for reading a book for hours on end like we did. The port-o-potty was immaculately clean. We would have liked to stay even longer. Perhaps we will be back next year!

Great camping with a large fenced area perfect for a dog run! The river access is gorgeous, and we even had a bit of luck fly fishing. Extremely friendly host, and the offer of paid perks like fresh maple syrup is a cool touch. Highly recommend!

The best camping near Magog with a private bathroom guide

When to go

Supporting a year-round population, Magog is greater to visit anytime, but the best time depends on what exactly you want to do. Cold-weather campers can pitch a tent in the dead of winter in some parks, but if you’re looking to enjoy the lake, then mid-July through late August is the best time. We adore the Eastern Townships in fall thanks to its glorious changing leaves.

Know before you go

You should have no problem with cell reception in the city, but once you get deep into the national parks or more remote areas, service is likely to be limited.
French is the first language here, and although most locals speak English fluently, it's helpful to have a translation app on your phone.
You’ll find it difficult to explore this region without a vehicle. Magog has just a limited transit service that offers drastically reduced services on weekends.
From June to October, the Magog farmers market runs very Sunday.
