Stays

Tucked into Dorset, a charming little village in the Green Mountains, the Dorset RV Park is one of those addresses you appreciate for their quiet and their genuine character. A family campground on Route 30, right in the heart of the Green Mountain State, this well-kept park offers level, shaded sites with full hookups — including 30 and 50 amp, water and sewer. In short, everything you need to roll through your RV vacation without a hitch! Open from May to October, the campground spreads over several acres and gives you plenty of room to keep your privacy and your peace. The facilities include clean washrooms, hot showers and well-maintained picnic areas. A charming bonus for children: rabbits and chickens roam free — a little touch of the farm that the whole family enjoys! The location is one of the park's great strengths. Its central position gives easy access to the charming village of Dorset, to the shops and restaurants of Manchester, to Hildene, and to a host of outdoor activities: hiking, fishing and skiing at the nearby resorts. From strolls through the streets of Manchester and its picturesque shops to the gondola ride up to the top of Stratton Mountain Resort, there's no chance of being bored! With its enchanting scenery, especially in fall when the leaves catch fire, the Dorset RV Park is the ideal place from which to explore southern Vermont at your own pace. An address to put on your list if you want comfort, nature and American rural charm all at once!

About 10 minutes from downtown Baie-Comeau, on the Côte-Nord, the Camping Lac Malfait offers a peaceful, bucolic setting, ideal for outdoor lovers and families. The site, on the shore of lac Malfait, gives you a calm natural setting where you can unplug while staying close to town. Managed by the Lac Malfait recreational association, the campground has about thirty sites (seasonal and for travellers) with 2 services. Rates run between $30 and $50 a night, and the campground is open from June 1 to September 25. The site is perfect for the whole family, with a fine view of the lake. As for activities, you're spoiled for choice: a beach, swimming, beach volleyball, a boat launch for anyone who likes to fish or get out on the water, golf nearby, bike trails and campfires permitted. Pets are also welcome free of charge — perfect for anyone travelling with a four-legged companion! A stop that is at once quiet and well equipped, perfect for exploring the Manicouagan region and getting your fill of nature a stone's throw from Baie-Comeau's big attractions (the Daniel-Johnson dam, the parc Nature de Pointe-aux-Outardes, and so on).

For anyone travelling by RV on the Côte-Nord, the Camping municipal de Sept-Îles is a stop as practical as it is scenic. Behind the Maison du Tourisme de Sept-Îles, at 1401 boul. Laure Ouest, this site for motorized camping vehicles offers 18 sites, 3 services, a washroom block and a sweeping view over Sept-Îles bay. Close to downtown, it's the ideal base for visiting the Vieux-Quai promenade, the shops and the restaurants of the city, while enjoying a peaceful setting. The campground is reserved exclusively for self-contained vehicles (class A, B, C, trailers and so on), but also offers 4 platforms (12 ft x 12 ft) for rustic tenting. Count on $35/night for a motorized vehicle and $16/night for the tent platforms, with a maximum of 5 nights. Registration is done at the Maison du Tourisme during opening hours.

A stone's throw from the famous village of Tadoussac, on the Côte-Nord, Camping Tadoussac offers one of the finest camping experiences in Quebec. Perched on the mountainside, it treats visitors to a striking panorama over the mouth of the Saguenay Fjord and the St. Lawrence River, ranked among the most beautiful bays in the world. And what a sunrise! Run by Vacances Essipit (an Innu company), the campground has 193 sites with a spectacular view, with options for every kind of camper: sites with 1, 2 or 3 services (water, electricity, sewer), ready-to-camp tents already set up, a small house and fully equipped rustic cabins. The sites are separated from one another by trees for more privacy, and each one comes with a fire pit and a picnic table.  The campground is also a few minutes from the village of Tadoussac, where you can browse the charming shops, savour local specialties in the restaurants or visit the famous Tadoussac chapel, the oldest wooden church in North America. Special mention: you can even spot whales with a good pair of binoculars straight from the campground! In short, a magical place to experience the Côte-Nord in its natural state — a guaranteed favourite for anyone who loves the outdoors and grand landscapes.

Only minutes from the famous falls, Campark Resorts is one of the best-loved camping destinations in Niagara Falls, Ontario. With more than 400 sites, this family resort has something for every taste: grassy, shaded tent sites, camping cabins, full-hookup sites and pull-thru sites for big RVs. In short, whatever your style, you'll find what you're looking for! What really sets Campark apart is the incredible range of on-site activities. Our Central Camp offers plenty to keep the whole family entertained: mini-golf, a tunnel maze and funhouse, a playground, a splash pad, a giant jumping pillow, a heated pool, karaoke in summer, a laser tag room, 3 escape rooms, an axe-throwing arena, breakfast and dinner on weekends during the summer — and much more! The kids are never bored, and neither are the parents! A charming detail: the property was originally a farm, and the main house along with the original barn (dating from the late 1700s) are still standing. The Van Kleef family, who own the campground, still live in the two-hundred-year-old house — which gives the place a unique historic character. The famous "Breakfast in the Barn," served in the old barn, is a tradition not to be missed!  As for the location, it's unbeatable: a bus is available right at the entrance to take you straight to the falls — no need to worry about parking! As a bonus, in the fall Campark hosts the big Halloween attraction HAUNT MANOR, and in winter the Holiday Village Snow Tubing — so there's something to visit in every season. A favourite for families, RV enthusiasts and anyone looking to make the most of Niagara while staying in the middle of the action!
