Bonjour,
Gypsy Robin is a 22 foot vintage camper in the heart of Tamarak Grove, a forest and farmland oasis, just 20 minutes from Montreal, Quebec. At the feet of the Monteregian Hills, an ancient range of well-spaced igneous intrusions that include Montreal's Mount Royal, sits the very private, Tamarak-ringed 19th century property. From your door, a trail leads explorers through miles of forest ands= old hunting trails stretching to Mont-Saint-Bruno, a popular ski and hike destination. Just miles from the city, and local, So'Sho' treats (Dix30, sqdc, Fort Chambly and the Chambly locks and waterfront), the destination offers peace and quiet shared by wondering deer, rabbit, fox and fowl. Feathered regulars in Tamarak Grove include Red-Winged Black Birds, Cardinals, Doves and of course, Robins.
The camper provides a unique mix of vintage appeal and contemporary comfort. With a complete, well-equipped kitchen, king-sized bed and bathroom all designed for convenience and ergonomic living, Gypsy Robin is your home away from home. Perfect for kicking back, reading, writing, art, sky gazing or whatever. Lounge inside the period caravan or sit by the patio wood stove and soak in the sunsets that give way to the stars.
Gypsy Robin Caravan at Tamarak Grove is a refuge for couples or singles looking to say hello to summer in Montreal in an unforgettable way.
LOCAL TREATS:
On Canada's first road, Chemin de Chambly, Tamarak Grove shares its bragging rights with the historic waterfront keep, mighty Fort Chambly, a key trade and defense artery of New France. And while visiting, why not spoil yourselves with culinary perfection found at the many area restaurants, bistros and bars.
SHOPPING:
Planning to splurge on some cool Montreal fashions? Venture no further than the So'Sho's best kept no-longer-a-secret, Dix30, the indoor/outdoor shopping complex complete with all major brands, Canadians hockey centre, great pubs and top notch large format restaurants, IMAX cinema and world envying bi-lingual comedy clubs.
NOT TO MISS:
Down Chambly Road, and a quick left on Montee Daniel shifts your gears into instant wine country complete with tasting rooms, equestrian spots and Monteregian valley views that can't be beat.
You might just have to return for a 2nd visit!

Tout autour, le son enveloppant de la rivière, le bruissement des feuilles et la force de la montagne.

Matthew was very welcoming and a great host. The site was a nice and private spot tucked away in the wood beside a stream. The tent pad at the site was a great way to get off the ground during fall camping. Also the quality and quantity of firewood Matthew has for sale is much better than what's available at the local gas stations. The walk to the site from the parking area is also very manageable.

I had a wonderful experience camping at this site! The host was welcoming, and his son gave us a lovely tour of the property, showing us the docks and the swimming spots. The campsite itself was a short walk from the parking area, so we had to carry our gear, but it was manageable, and we would just pack a bit differently next time. To go swimming, we needed to take the vehicle, which was no issue. Overall, it was a fantastic stay with very friendly hosts!

Overview
About
As a result of the opening of the Saint-Ours Canal in 1849, boats were able to bypass the final obstacle on the waterway between Montreal and New York. Called the tenth lock on the Richelieu, the canal would prove indispensable to international, regional and local trade for over a century. Today, the Saint-Ours canal is a place of relaxation and a resort that offers an exceptional setting as well as magnificent views of the Richelieu River. Recreational boaters, strollers and oTENTik campers flock to the site each year to take advantage of this unique setting.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Book early to secure your spot in the sought-after oTENTik accommodations.
- Check for cancellations regularly, as last-minute openings can occur.
- Plan your visit during the shoulder seasons for better availability.
- Explore nearby camping options to ensure you have a backup plan.
When to go
The best time to visit Saint-Ours Canal National Historic Site is during the summer months when the weather is warm and the site is fully operational. The shoulder seasons of spring and fall offer a quieter experience, though some services may be reduced. Winters can be harsh, with limited access and activities.
Know before you go
- Always maintain a safe distance from the lock to avoid the risk of falling.
- Check the complete schedule for hours of operation before planning your visit.
- Visitor safety is paramount; familiarize yourself with guidelines and closures.
- Accessibility information is available for those requiring assistance.
- Facilities include basic equipment at oTENTik sites for a comfortable stay.
