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.

When to go
The Eastern Townships are considered a four-season destination, but for those looking to get the most out of a camping trip, mid-June through to October is going to give you the most predictable weather. July and August can get busy, while fall is incredibly pretty and quieter than the summer months. Spring can be wet, and although some parks offer winter camping around Richmond, the extreme cold keeps campgrounds fairly empty.
Know before you go
- If you don’t have your own vehicle, plan on renting one, as it'll be tough to explore this region without a car. Travelling by bike is also an option thanks to many planned bike routes that run through the Eastern Townships.
- You can explore the Saint-François River by guided or self-guided tour by renting equipment from the Richmond Canoe-Kayak Center.
- Richmond offers several electric vehicle charging stations.
- Although most people working in tourism speak English fluently, you may well come across occasions where a translation app will come in handy. Not all signage (or business websites) in the region are bilingual.
Frequently Asked Questions
