Winter Camping
Do you have a taste for adventure? Are you a keen outdoor enthusiast and not afraid of the cold? Winter camping is a great opportunity to connect with nature at its most silent — but you must be well prepared and well equipped.
Five Campsites at Philippe Lake
Winter camping is permitted on specific campgrounds in the Philippe Lake area (Municipality of La Pêche) in the northern section of the Park. You can pitch your tent at one of the five campsites (two sites for groups and three for single tents). None of these sites has a heated shelter, but firewood is provided. The campground is located 3 kilometres from parking lot 19 (P19). Reservations are required.
Cost
- $7.90 per night, per person (snowshoers or cross-country ski season pass holders)
- $11.85 per night, per person for camping and cross-country skiing
Winter camping rates are in effect from mid-October to mid-May.
