'Whispering Pines' was bought about 35 years ago as our dream retirement home, a place to rest, have a quiet life, enjoy nature and have a peaceful retirement for ever and ever...In past years we have been a family camp. and an event camp with camping festivals, special events, and day visits. Now we welcome visitors who are looking for a casual, rustic, laid back experience with nature in a simple, peaceful setting. Nature is allowed to thrive on our property, and the entire property is forested and wild. The majority of our campsites are shaded under a verdant and lush canopy. Our private beach and small lake welcome you for a swim. All we ask of our visitors is: that whatever you bring in you take home with you, that you leave your campsite and the property the way you found it, and the only thing you take from here are pictures and happy memories. All of our campsites are off-grid, un-serviced, drive-in camping. Campfire wood and recycling facilities are available on site. Maintained outhouses are available throughout the property. There is no potable water on the property so please bring your own drinking and cooking water. Children under 12 can camp for free. When booking a campsite please only include any guests over 12 years of age in your guest count. Children under 12 do not need to be included in your booking. Contact us to inquire about large group and event rates. We host LARPing weekends twice a month. We also have a limited number of seasonal sites available from June to September. I love this property and all the people who visit us, many have become extended family and for this I am grateful. There is nothing nicer than to have people drop by and spend a couple of hours, a day or a weekend, sometime when I get real lucky it's for a longer period of time :-)

I built this cabin to be a romantic, cozy off-grid getaway for humans , but if most of our guests are being honest, the dogs are the ones having the best time. There’s a cozy queen bed with fresh linens and a down duvet. A covered deck with handcrafted rocking chairs for sunset views. A private fire area below for campfires and stargazing. LED lighting, a Bluetooth speaker, a Jackery battery bank, clean well water, lanterns, an outdoor shower, and a clean outhouse. I’ll even haul your gear in by ATV so you can settle in without the hassle. And after all that work, most guests still seem to agree on the real highlight: Watching their dogs absolutely lose their minds with happiness. More than anything, this place has become a favourite for people who want to give their dogs the kind of freedom they rarely get anywhere else. Most of our guests tell us over and over, that their favourite part is watching their best friends make their own decisions, run the trails, sniff everything, chase chipmunks, explore the forest, and basically have the time of their lives. Of course, the humans tend to enjoy themselves too. The cabin sits on a west-facing cliff on our private 164-acre property. Once you arrive, you’ll have the feeling of having the whole place to yourselves. The trails, the forest, the quiet, the sunsets, it all feels wonderfully removed from the usual noise. In summer, the forest is lush, green, and full of life. The days are warm, the trails are shaded, and evenings at the cliff often bring a breeze and a beautiful sunset. For dogs, there’s endless space to explore. For people, it’s a chance to unplug, slow down, and enjoy a kind of peace that’s getting harder to find. You’ll have access to 10 km of private trails through forest, ridgelines, and lakeshore. Wildlife is plentiful, and depending on the season, you may spot deer, foxes, loons, and maybe even a family of bald eagles! There’s no electricity or running water, but that’s part of the magic. This is real off-grid comfort: simple, peaceful, and thoughtfully set up so you can enjoy nature without giving up a good night’s sleep. Whether you come for a quiet escape, or just to watch your dog have the best weekend of their life, this is the place to be.

Weekend Trip to Domaine Lockbøw | Private Waterfall

Gorgeous site! Better than the photos. The hosts were super fast at responding, and everything was ready for us to use easily. Kayaking on the lake was a beautiful experience, and I loved how easy it was to access everything. One note is that the ground is extremely uneven, which was fun for us and a cool environment to camp in, but it would be challenging to move around the site if you have any mobility issues. Un site magnifique ! Encore plus beau que sur les photos. Les hôtes répondaient super rapidement à nos messages, et tout était prêt pour que nous puissions profiter facilement de tout sur place. Faire du kayak sur le lac était une expérience magnifique, et j’ai adoré à quel point tout était facilement accessible. Un petit point à noter : le terrain est extrêmement inégal. C’était amusant pour nous et ça donnait un cadre vraiment original au camping, mais il pourrait être difficile de se déplacer sur le site pour les personnes ayant des problèmes de mobilité.

Plaisance National Park camping guide

Overview

About

The word “Plaisance”' means pleasure, and that’s exactly what you’ll find at Plaisance National Park (Parc national de Plaisance) in Quebec. This genteel provincial park, 90 miles (145 kilometres) from Montreal and 50 miles (80 kilometres) from Ottawa, offers a supervised swimming pool, canoeing, kayaking, and stand-up paddle boarding, plus hiking, cycling, and fishing. Visitors should keep their eyes on the skies—the park is part of a major migratory route and nearly 250 different birds have been spotted. Parc national de Plaisance has more than 100 sites for tents and RVs.

Notable campgrounds

Best for families: The Shores Campground has ready-to-camp units with two rooms, plus small refrigerators, heating, and a stove.
Best for RVs and campervans: Fer-à-Cheval is set apart from the rest of the park and tent-free.
Best for classic park views: La Baie Campground has many sites with water views and shade from mature trees.

Tips for snagging a campsite

A two-night booking rule typically applies for Friday or Saturday visits. However, you can get around this requirement—reservations open up for one-night weekend stays 72 hours before arrival, a great option for last-minute campers.
If you have more than six people in your party but don’t want to book a group campsite, call the campground directly to inquire about exceptions for large families with multiple kids.
Cyclists don’t have to worry much about reservations. Parc national de Plaisance has partnered with Vélo Québec to set up exclusive Bienvenue Cyclistes camping sites that don’t require advanced reservations.

When to go

The park is open year-round. However, the Discovery and Visitors Center (which hosts the reception desk, nature boutique, exhibitions, and equipment rentals) is only open from early June to mid-October. The area is busiest from late June to early September. Visitors should book well in advance to get reservations for Canada Day weekend and Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day (celebrated across Quebec on June 24).

Know before you go

The park’s star attraction is La Zizanie-des-Marais, a floating walkway highlighting plant and animal life along the marsh. Rebuilt after serious flooding in 2017, it’s now wheelchair accessible.
The park offers a comprehensive guided discovery program, which includes rabaska canoe rides led by a park naturalist.
The park has 16 miles (26 kilometres) of biking trails. Bike rentals are available on-site and they’re free for kids.
Visitors looking for groceries, gas, and restaurants can find all the basics just outside the park gates. A little bit further down the road, Papineauville and Montebello have more extensive services and amenities, including hotels and sporting goods stores.
