The best forest camping near Shawinigan

·

Camping in the forests around Shawinigan means breathing spruce-scented air and waking to birdsong. With 22 forest campsites here, you can pitch your tent under thick canopy or tuck in by a mossy riverside. Sites average $80 a night, but you’ll find some as low as $35. Top picks include Dobedo Camps (94 reviews), Inukshuk zen garden campsite (31 reviews), and CirqueEnBois InWoodCircus cat camp (26 reviews). Expect fire rings, toilets, and showers at most spots. Bring your boots—horseback riding trails wind through the woods, and anglers cast for trout in quiet streams. Keep your eyes open for deer and owls at dusk. Shawinigan’s forests don’t just offer shade—they set the scene for real outdoor living.
