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.

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!

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.

What a great experience! Paula and Benoit were great hosts for a beautiful spot! We enjoyed the solar powered sauna and the rainwater shower while camping! What a treat. I would strongly recommend this site to campers who want to be immersed in some beautiful nature and experience a wholistic and sustainable lifestyle that Paula and Benoit live!

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.
