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!

Tent
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!

The best camping in Mont-Mégantic National Park, QC guide
Overview
About
The natural beauty of Mont-Mégantic National Park in the Eastern Townships of Quebec can’t be denied, but what sets it apart from the other picturesque parks in the region is its renowned ASTROLab observatory. Astronomy events and activities are held all year, with daily open hours in summer. The park has a Dark Sky Preserve designation that mandates how and when artificial lighting is allowed, making it the perfect place for stargazing campers and northern lights hunters.
Notable campgrounds
- Best for winter camping: Pitch your tent on one of the winter-ready platforms in the Observatory sector.
- Best for RVs: The Franceville campground has serviced sites, plus a playground, store, and access to hiking and biking trails.
- Best for rustic camping: Hike the 2.2-kilometre trail to the secluded Grande-Ourse campground.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Reserve your campsite online from the Sépaq website. Reservations open in mid-November for summer of the following year.
- Create your online account in advance to make bookings as quickly as possible.
- A 2-night minimum applies for advance reservations. One-night stays can be booked up to 72 hours before arrival.
- Winter camping reservations are only available by phone.
When to go
Mont-Mégantic camping is available all year with a variety of accommodations including rustic shelters, cabins, chalets, or tent sites. Winter in Quebec can get very cold, so make sure you are equipped for extreme weather and lots of snow. Summer is the most popular time to visit, when the weather is warmest. To capitalize on the activities at the park’s ASTROLab, time your visit to coincide with its Astronomy Festival in early July or during the annual Perseids meteor shower.
Know before you go
- It’s called a national park, but Mont-Mégantic is administered by Sépaq, a Quebec provincial body. As such, Parks Canada passes won’t work here. Park entry fees apply, and daily admission can only be purchased up to 30 days in advance.
- If you’re camping and cycling, both the Observatory and Franceville sectors have dedicated first-come, first-served campsites. Just register when you arrive.
- The visitors’ centre and observatory have accessible features, while the Franceville campground also offers accessible toilets and showers in the washrooms.
