Loved this site! Incredibly picturesque, very family-friendly, plus our toddler (and we!) loved walking around the farm in the morning and meeting the sheep, donkey, pigs, and the farm dog, Whiskey. It was beautiful in fall just after the harvest, and we bought some mutton before heading out- best we've ever had. Would love to stay here again if we are in the area.

We used the coordinates to find the place and it took us straight there, no issues locating it, even in the dark. Lots of space to exercise your dog if needed.

Our experience camping at Guillaume's and Richard's land could not have been better. The site itself is wonderful - a private area far from their house, great tent spots, a barbecue, and firepit Guillaume keeps stocked with firewood. The experience of being there was perfect. We spent the day walking through the vineyard, hanging out with their animals, and playing disc golf at a nearby park. My partner and I biked there from Montreal and the site was accessible with our bikes. On top of all that we really enjoyed speaking with Guillaume and felt very fortunate to enjoy fresh eggs in the morning and purchase fresh lamb from them as well. Could not recommend coming here enough! Thank you for making our stay so memorable.

Weekend Trip to Domaine de la Templerie

The campsite was nice, the free firewood was dry, which made it very easy to light a fire. The farm was cute, with horses, geese, ducks, and boar. However, the highlight was the meal we ordered. Because of my physical limitations and our dog, they delivered a full seven course meal to our campground over the course of about 2 1/2 hours. It was delicious. The combination of a meal at the campground with our fire was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended to anyone!

The best campervan sites near Montréal guide

Where to go

The Eastern Townships

Lying southeast of Montreal, the Eastern Townships may just be one of the prettiest parts of Canada. Dozens of small towns dot the lakeshores and offer mountain views. Hiking, biking, and even canoeing routes connect many of the communities, and outdoor adventurers can easily refuel at maple sugar shacks, cheese producers, farmers markets, and vineyards.

Oka

Just an hour from Montreal, Oka is home to a beautiful provincial park, one of the best beaches in southern Quebec, and its delicious namesake Oka cheese. At Oka National Park, visitors have ample camping options alongside the Lake of Two Mountains. There are additional ready-to-camp tents (perfect for early and late season stays, as they contain a space heater), plus watersports and children’s programming. White-tailed deer, beavers, muskrats, turtles, and mink are frequently spotted and the list of local birds exceeds 200 species.

The Laurentian Mountains

A popular skiing destination, the Laurentian Mountains have year-round camping options for everyone from beginners to experienced trekkers. Visitors can find a mix of tent-sites, cabins, and RV spots, many of which offer easy access to the slopes in winter. Traditional tent and RV spots with laundry and showers abound.

When to go

Camping is at its most comfortable between June and September, when evenings are mild. However, make reservations well in advance for Canada Day weekend and Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day (celebrated across Quebec on June 24). The Eastern Townships and the Laurentian Mountains offer some of the finest fall colours in Quebec but they’ll be busy with weekend day trippers come mid-October.

Know before you go

MEC Montreal sells everything an outdoor adventurer could need, from stoves and freeze-dried foods to mountain bikes.

There are a dozen farmers markets in Montreal and many more in the surrounding area. Pick up local bagels, which are denser and sweeter than their New York-style counterparts.
Coyotes call southern Quebec home and they even occasionally venture into Montreal. Never feed them and secure your food at night.
