2 nights at Cute Cabins - Ready to camp

We had a wonderful weekend in this cozy cabin in the woods. The place is peaceful and perfect to disconnect from everyday life. The cabin is really cute and comfortable, and we felt at home right away. It was exactly what we needed for a romantic getaway, far from the city noise. We left feeling rested and already wanting to come back! Thanks to Luc for making our stay so enjoyable.

Weekend Trip to Koh Lanta Campsite

The site was as described, the pond and stream are beautiful. However I could not really take advantage of it because of the very high quantity of mosquitoes and midges. Michel communicated well and I would go back at a different time of year.

Where to go

Parc national de la Mauricie

Hike through white pine forests and visit 150 lakes inside La Mauricie National Park. A wide variety of camping options within the park offer something for everyone, including tent camping, glamping, canoe camping, and historic cabin rentals. Visit in summer to hike, swim, canoe, and pedal-boat. Or, snowshoe, cross-country ski, and view snow-covered forests in winter. For a unique look into the region's steel-working history, visit Forges du Saint-Maurice National Historic Site.

Parc récréoforestier Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc

With over 120 square kilometres of parkland, Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc Forest Recreation Park lets campers hike, bike, or snowshoe through the forest. Summit the mountain trail for views of one of the park’s lakes or waterfalls. Find tent and RV campsites, some with wifi and 30-amp electricity. Visit this park in the fall to catch a glimpse of the stunning colours of the maple forests.

Réserve faunique Mastigouche

Discover a peaceful camping destination on the shores of Lake Saint-Bernard inside Mastigouche Wildlife Reserve. Hike, bike, or boat in the park, and try fishing, small game hunting, and equipment rentals. Lucky campers may catch a glimpse of the park’s protected wildlife, which includes black bears, wolves, lynx, moose, and white-tailed deer. For a taste of the forest, visit this park in August when raspberries and blueberries are ripe and free for picking.

When to go

The most popular camping season in Québec is May to October, when the majority of park campgrounds are open. Blackflies in June may dissuade some campers from wooded areas, although campgrounds away from rivers and streams are a good way to avoid the bugs. Summers are popular for the hot weather and long sunny days, while vibrant colours in fall make forest camping near Trois-Rivières an unforgettable experience.
