À seulement 25 minutes de Québec, la montagne du Maelström est une invitation à décrocher. Ici, le temps ralentit naturellement. Dès l’arrivée, le silence s’installe, enveloppé par la forêt et le souffle discret du vent dans les arbres. Tout autour, la nature s’étend à perte de vue, intacte, apaisante.
Chaque journée est rythmée par la lumière, les saisons et le calme. Les matins s’ouvrent sur une brume légère, les journées invitent à la contemplation, et les soirées offrent un ciel étoilé d’une rare clarté. Que ce soit pour lire, marcher sans but, respirer profondément ou simplement ne rien faire, le Maelström est un lieu où l’on se recentre.
Ici, on vient s’offrir une pause essentielle. Loin du bruit, des obligations et du rythme effréné, on redécouvre le luxe de la simplicité : le chant des oiseaux, le craquement des branches, la sensation d’être pleinement entouré par la nature.
Plus qu’un séjour, c’est une expérience unique, un refuge de sérénité où l’on repart reposé, inspiré et reconnecté à l’essentiel avec la sensation rare d’avoir vraiment pris le temps.
——————
Just 25 minutes from Québec City, Maelström Mountain is an invitation to slow down and disconnect. Here, time naturally eases its pace. From the moment you arrive, silence settles in, wrapped in forest and the gentle whisper of wind through the trees. Nature stretches endlessly in every direction — untouched, soothing, and serene.
Each day follows the rhythm of light, seasons, and calm. Mornings open with a soft mist, days invite quiet reflection, and evenings reveal a star-filled sky of rare clarity. Whether reading, wandering without purpose, breathing deeply, or simply doing nothing at all, Maelström is a place to recentre yourself.
This is where you come to give yourself a truly essential pause. Far from noise, obligations, and the rush of daily life, you rediscover the luxury of simplicity: birdsong, the crackle of branches, and the feeling of being completely surrounded by nature.
More than a stay, it’s a unique experience — a sanctuary of serenity where you leave feeling rested, inspired, and reconnected to what matters most, with the rare feeling of having truly taken the time to slow down.

The whole camping area is beautiful and there are paths into the woods for walks. The site has play areas for kids and spaces for horses, and you can see the whole sky, which allows for star-gazing.

We arrived for a quick night stopover along our road trip. Though we arrived at dusk, we were struck by the beauty of the surroundings. We only made use of the washroom facility which was very clean and well equipped. We saw the neat kitchen from afar. If we come again, we’d allow ourselves more time. Only downside was arriving at night and unable to find out booked site nor signage to find it. We managed to connect with the host after some time.

Beautiful scenery at a very organized site. The drives are marked well but I still went to far when I came into the site because I didn’t see the first signs and driveway. It’s also easy to meet other campers at the common areas. The bathroom and kitchen are well planned and stocked.

We had a great stay at Karine's. Great for mountain bikers with wash down and access to some cross country trails from her property. Karine's very knowledgeable about the area and gave some great "not to miss" things to do. Wish we could've stayed longer. And the chickens were a hoot and very quiet!

Karine was the best host ever! My wife and I arrived late but we found our way to her pleasant campground. Our car and trailer were big and she helped us move things around to accommodate our large car and trailer. She also advised us where to park in Quebec City and gave us ideas about dining. She is very knowledgeable about the recreational activities (biking, skiing, snowmobiling, hiking) available in the area. I would highly recommend Karine’s spot for a comfortable, quiet campground!

A great experience camping at Beausite! The Horse walking experience is a must if you have kids, Our 11 year old loved meeting and taking the 2 miniatures Bozo and Mickey for a walk! Mari Lee (forgive me if I spell her name wrong) was awesome with children and was able to do the walk in English! Thanks again!
