Beach camping near Warwick with campfires

Set in the foothills of the Appalachians, Warwick is a sweet little town known for two things: Cheese (as there are a lot of producers in and around town) and the fact that it keeps winning provincial "town in bloom" contests. In addition to these quirky claims to fame, Warwick houses several parks, a covered bridge that crosses the Pine River, and a historic train station that has been converted into a rest stop for the many cyclists who explore this region by bikepacking and camping along the way.

Much of Warwick is open year-round, and the greater Centre-du-Québec region serves as a recreation destination even through winter with ski hills and trails. Summer is prime for hiking and water activities in the lakes and waterways, while spring can be wet.

• Because of Warwick’s proximity to Montreal, cell service is usually pretty good. However, once you get into national parks and more remote areas of the region, service can be spotty (or nonexistent).
• Warwick has an EV charging station.
• In small Quebec towns like Warwick, you may find that fewer people are fluent in English. It can be a good idea to download a translation app on your phone just in case.
• It’s going to be near impossible to get around this area without a vehicle—though plenty of campers explore this part of Quebec via its many cycle routes.
