Tucked away in Lac-Etchemin, right in the Etchemins region of Chaudière-Appalaches, Camping Lac-Etchemin is a family address par excellence. With its warm atmosphere in the Appalachians, only 1 km from the Éco-Parc des Etchemins, it offers an ideal setting for unplugging out in nature. What sets this campground apart is the incredible variety of on-site activities — there really is something for every taste! Enjoy an unforgettable experience at this campground with its modern facilities: heated pool, spa, water play features, play structures, DEK hockey, volleyball and accessible trails. Discover what is new: a relaxation pool, a BMX track, a giant trampoline. You also find a soccer field, pétanque, billiards, hiking, fishing and a remote-control track. In short, the children are never bored — and neither are the parents! The location is also a major asset: the campground is ideally placed about 20 minutes from the Miller Zoo, close to the Éco-Parc, the Golf Lac-Etchemin, the Moulin La Lorraine and the regional bike paths. Not to mention the Sanctuaire Notre-Dame d'Etchemin and the Mont-Orignal ski station, all within easy reach. The campground is open from May 1 to October 31 — the summer high season offers the best programming.
One honest reservation: some visitors have mentioned that the campground can be quite lively in the evening during high season (musical shows), which can bother families with young children. But for anyone who likes a lively atmosphere and varied activities, that is part of the charm! In short, Camping Lac-Etchemin is a perfect stop for families looking to combine activities, modern services and the beauty of the Appalachians in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

-The washrooms are very clean and well kept.
-The showers are free.
