This rare urban site acknowledges our Abenaki heritage, who camped and lived along these shores for centuries. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE CAN ONLY ACCEPT SELF CONTAINED CAMPERS THIS YEAR. WE CAN'T SUPPLY OR SUPPORT TOILET FACILITIES THIS YEAR. VEUILLEZ NOTER QUE CETTE ANNÉE, NOUS N'ACCEPTONS QUE DES CAMPEURS AUTONOMES. NOUS NE POUVONS PAS FOURNIR NI ENTRETENIR DE TOILETTES.
Our beautiful urban location near highway 410 and Bishop's University, directly on St. Francis river, makes it an exceptional starting point for cyclists who want to enjoy the Route Verte path; fish, canoe, kayak or tube the river or simply explore all Sherbrooke has to offer. Our birdlife is amazing and is a recognized birding location by provincial authorities, especially for swallows and chimney swifts. A fire pit will be made available, in respect of all fire bans, with firewood available for purchase.
In 1910, Agriculture Canada set up a research centre that operated until the 1950's.
The property was sold to a family that emigrated to Canada from Europe, to set begin a new life post WW2.
In 2015, I purchased the property to return it to its roots - regenerative farming, training, hospitality, poverty relief and healthy living.
Be our guest at The Farmhouse, a vibrant small-scale farm with a heart for the earth and its people. (https://www.thefarmhouse.store)
Seasonal, fresh farm produce will be available for purchase as well as guided garden tours. Located within 5 minute walking distance to Lennoxville (Bishop's University). It's perfect for campers who like to experience "urban" camping. Some road noise. If you are concerned about the weather, the site provides the use of a 8 sleeper tent trailer for your convenience. During the day, you are welcome to relax in it too. Portable water will be provided, but bring your own drinks if possible. As a bonus treat, you are welcome to sleep in a very HIP camper, a 1980 retro dodge camper van.

It was a really great campsite! Denis is a very good host and was very kind to show me everything. It was a very nice fire pit area and he was kind enough to let me use his lawn chairs and tables. He was also kind enough to let me use his kayaks to go out on the lake which was very beautiful and it's a nice view to wake up to. I highly recommend this place and I would go again.

Thank you Sebastien. We arrived bit late and were short of water but Sebastien provided even the drinking water which saved us a trip to convenient store. He was very helpful and kept in touch with us in case we needed anything. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The site was well kept, safe by the river and the host is very responsive and helpful. Thanks again Sebastien and hope to see you soon

Denis and his wife made a us feel welcome to their property. They are exceptionally kind , and even though English was not their first language they went above and beyond to understand stand our conversation. Their property is beautifully taken care of and sits right on the lake shore. The spot for us offered a great view of the lake. The neighbours were all quiet as we did expect party noise from the lake. It was very quiet and pleasant. A fantastic stay and we highly recommend these host.

It's a lovely little farm, dog friendly and the volunteer host is so kind and thoughtful! She picked fresh leaves that have a calming property and gave me a tour of the farm - I saw the chicken coup "she lovingly calls the ladies" and the garden in front is incredible! Amazing river front but I did not have the time to take a dip. Chris is very responsive and allowed me to extend my stay last minute! It's a slice of heaven that is close to everything. Lennoxville lovely village is walking distance!

Bel endroit pour installer sa tente. Terrain plat, bien entretenu, petit foyer, près de l'eau. Facilement accessible, à quelques minutes à pied de dépanneur/épicerie. Bien situé.
Peut être un peu dispendieux lorsque seulement pour une tente, mais l'endroit en vaut la peine.
Petit bémol, (à s'attendre au fait que le terrain est proche de la ville) on entend les voitures et construction. (La nuit c'est plus calme)

I set up my tent right next to the creek, and it was pure magic. The gentle sound of the flowing water was incredibly soothing — like nature’s lullaby through the night. The spot is basic and completely wild, but that’s exactly what makes it special. No crowds — just peace.
🌿 The ground is flat enough for a tent, with space for one or two campers. It’s only accessible by foot, which makes it feel truly remote. In the morning, I woke up to birdsong and soft sunlight filtering through the trees — such a calm and grounding way to start the day.
🌳 There are a few lovely little trails nearby, perfect for a peaceful walk through the woods. One of the highlights was the cozy riverside area with chairs and a hammock — such a perfect place to relax, read, or simply listen to the water.
🌟 A big thank-you to Paule and Benoît, who were incredibly kind and welcoming. Their generosity and good energy added a really special touch to the experience.
A little hidden gem for anyone looking to disconnect and enjoy the raw beauty of nature. 💚 I’ll definitely be coming back.

I have too many nice things to say about this beautiful campground. Paula and Benoit were amazing and accommodating even before I arrived. It is clear they value the comfort of all their guests, and everything is well laid out and explained in the lovely little welcome pack I recieved on arrival, with a map of the grounds and a lock for the wooden cache on site. I was especially grateful for the courtesy lantern I was able to borrow for my stay (take it! I brought two flashlights, a lantern and a headlamp and still found a lot of uses for it!)
My stay in the hammock tent was amazingly comfortable. The tent is clean and well maintained. Despite heavy rains for most of my stay, I stayed cozy and dry. And a small river by the campsite made for a really nice soundtrack to fall asleep to.
The hammock tent runs cooler than most tents due to being suspended. Nights hit 11 degrees and I noticed even with my inflatable matte and camp blanket, i needed to layer up to stay warm. Insulation is an absolute must.
Highlight of the trip was the giant polyphemus moth that joined the other moths in trying to get at my lights through the mesh of the tent. It was huge and beautiful! It was a great trip, with kind hosts and a quiet, peaceful place to stay. I will absolutely book again.

Overview
About
Frontenac National Park, in the Eastern Townships region of Quebec, is known for hiking and biking, plus lots of water fun. But even more than that is the draw of the area’s plentiful wildlife viewing opportunities. Keep your eye out for white-tail deer bounding across the hills, otters playing in the water, and great blue herons keeping a watchful eye over everything. Camping is available on the three loops of the Saint-Daniel sector, and about an hour’s drive away in the Southern sector.
Notable campgrounds
- Best for paddlers: The odd-numbered sites in the Baie aux Rats-Musqués have direct lake access.
- Best for rustic campers: The Lac-Egan primitive campground gives campers abundant privacy.
- Best for stargazers: The Baie Savage campground in the Southern sector is within a Dark Sky Preserve.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Reserve your campsite online from the Sépaq website. Reservations open in mid-November for the summer of each following year.
- Create your online account in advance to make the reservation process move as quickly as possible.
- A 2-night minimum applies for advance reservations. One-night stays can be booked up to 72 hours before arrival.
When to go
Camping is only available at Frontenac National Park from mid-May until mid-October. It is busiest during the summer months of July and August, when the weather is warmest. If you’re looking for a quieter time, consider spring and fall, although be prepared for the sometimes rainy or chilly weather of the shoulder seasons.
Know before you go
- Be warned, there is another park in Ontario also called Frontenac Provincial Park. Double-check you have your intended location before making a reservation!
- It’s called a national park, but Frontenac is administered by Sépaq, a Quebec provincial body. As such, Parks Canada passes won’t work here. A separate service fee applies for park entry, which can be purchased as an annual pass or daily. The daily admission can only be purchased up to 30 days in advance.
- If you are camping and cycling, both sectors have dedicated sites for you that don’t have to be reserved in advance. Just register when you arrive.
