Come and enjoy a traditional/rustic camping experience on the mighty Ottawa river. Be sure to bring your water shoes and a canoe or kayak, or you may rent one of ours. C-O-G is located on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River, east of the bridge that passes over from Hawkesbury, Ontario. This beautiful (mostly) deciduous forest (situated on both sides of the 344/Rte Des Outaouais), has been in the family for generations. The 59 acre property (50 acres on land, ~9 acres of river/water) features scenic views, privacy and is host to many outdoor activities such as swimming, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hiking and more, with many other outdoor tourism attractions (white water rafting ~15kms, Parc Omega (zoo)) located nearby. By paddle boat, canoe, or other similar shallow depth water craft, one can head upriver, around an island, and loop back through the remaining historic canal. ...It's a historic lazy river! Many amenities are only 1-3km away, such as a gas station (with fast charging), a grocery store and many restaurants including a Tim Hortons and McDonalds. A little History... Our property has played host to a small portion of the rich history of this area which included three railway tracks, a canal and a lock. The railway beds remain and the lock has simply been flooded over. Following the war of 1812, three Ottawa river canal systems were constructed between 1819 and 1833 to bypass the Long Sault Rapids on the Ottawa river. These canals were in use until 1961 when a large portion of the canal system was submerged due to the construction of a hydro-electric dam (~22kms downriver) at Carillion. As a result, the river level at our property rose high enough to submerge the top of the lock walls by ~3.5 feet. This submerged lock is located a few hundred feet offshore and can be seen using Google Earth as it measures 50' x 300' in size. Once you have a good idea where it is, throw on your water shoes and a life jacket and enjoy an interesting experience of walking on the walls of a submerged lock.

The Maple Loop

Great Spot on the Ottawa River

We loved taking our RV to Brien's property. The highlight was the water access. It is a perfect location for anyone looking to canoe or kayak on the Ottawa River. The sunsets were gorgeous. The directions were easy to follow and the driveway was easy to spot. The road was well made and it was no problem getting our RV (Class B) to where it needed to be, even in the dark. The few campsites were well set up, with picnic tables and fire pits. There was plenty of firewood available. The location was incredibly convenient, a one hour drive from Ottawa, and minutes away from conveniences in Grenville and Hawkesbury. Brien has some big ideas to improve the place even more, the property has a ton of potential. We can't wait to visit again.

The Maple Loop

Host Brien built a campfire and greeted us warmly, despite our late arrival. Peaceful, rustic. Pit toilet.

The Maple Loop

We absolutely loved camping here! Brien and his family were really kind and we appreciated the tour of the property they gave when my husband and I arrived. I love how close we were to the water and it was such a quiet and serene spot to spend our last vancamping weekend. Can't wait to come back next year!
