Travelling with a tent, a trailer or a tent trailer? Then choose among Québec's 940 campgrounds. Nestled in woodlands, resting by lakesides, along rivers or on fine sand beaches, these campgrounds offer a host of amenities, attractions, and activities. You can't get any closer to nature!
Choose your campground
A new mandatory rating system for all campgrounds is in the process of being implemented. At the start of the summer, the rating of some 300 campgrounds will be confirmed by an attestation. By around September 1, all campgrounds listed on Bonjour Québec.com should have received an official rating from the Conseil de développement du camping du Québec (CDCQ). Campgrounds are usually open from April until October, so reserve your summer dream-spot ahead of time!
The new wave... canoe camping
Explore Québec as did the coureur des bois centuries ago and enter the heart of nature. Paddle on crystal clear lakes, down peaceful rivers or bubbling rapids. Many regional parks, national parks and wildlife reserves rent canoes and offer rustic campsites by lakes and rivers. Adventure tourism agencies organize group expeditions for all levels. You can also fish in certain wildlife reserves.Travel and sleep... in your trailer
For those of you who enjoy travelling in recreational vehicles, Québec is the place to be. Many campgrounds have been designed with you in mind. You can settle down and take it easy for a few weeks or create your own itinerary and roll through some breathtaking scenery. Want to share your experience with other trailer travellers? Then hook up with one of the organized tours created by specialized companies.Winter fun... in a tent
For a unique adventure, why not winter camp? From mid-October until mid-May, you can do so in several campgrounds and national parks. Of course, you will need a lot of camping experience and up-to-date equipment. Some introductory sessions and group expeditions are offered by adventure tourism agencies. You'll get a taste of the life of early settlers. Some native communities even offer the chance to sleep in an igloo or tepee. Experience our splendid Québec winter first hand! Camping Québec, a non-profit organization, represents the operators of 73,000 of the 100,000 campsites available in Québec. Sépaq (a government corporation managing natural sites and tourist facilities) proposes over 7,000 sites in national parks and wildlife reserves.
