Camping du lac du missionnaire
Overview
Overview
Camping du lac du missionnaire in Trois-Rives, QC places travelers directly within the rugged landscapes of the upper Mauricie region. This location sits near the waters of Lac du Missionnaire, offering a traditional Canadian shield camping experience defined by dense forests, rocky outcroppings, and quiet northern waterways. It serves as a basecamp for road-trippers exploring the untamed wilderness between the Saint-Maurice River valley and regional provincial reserves.
Location & Surroundings
Reaching this part of Quebec typically involves traveling along Route 155, which snakes northward along the Saint-Maurice River between Shawinigan and La Tuque. The surrounding terrain features rolling hills, evergreen forests, and countless freshwater lakes typical of the Mauricie geography. Summers bring warm, long daylight hours ideal for outdoor living, while autumn draws travelers from across the province to witness vibrant fall foliage across the Canadian Shield.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site infrastructure details are not universally documented, RVers should verify critical setup requirements directly with the park before arrival. When planning your stay here, be sure to confirm hookup availability, maximum RV length limits, and generator policies. Inquire about water and electrical pedestal placements, as well as layout specifics for larger trailers and motorhomes navigating rural forest roads.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The Mauricie region is a renowned playground for outdoor recreation, anchored by the nearby expanse of La Mauricie National Park to the south. Visitors can access extensive canoeing networks, hiking trails leading to scenic lookouts, and excellent sportfishing waters. The nearby flowing Saint-Maurice River provides further opportunities for paddling and wildlife viewing, while local outfitters offer excursions deeper into the bush.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination naturally appeals to nature-focused RVers, anglers, and paddlers who prioritize waterfront scenery and wilderness proximity over luxury resort features. It suits self-contained travelers looking to disconnect from urban noise and immerse themselves in northern Quebec geography. Road-trippers traversing Route 155 will find it a convenient stopping point to experience authentic Mauricie terrain.

Location directly on Missionary Lake: beach, water access, boat launch. Canoeing, kayaking, hiking, biking, mountain biking, etc. Approximately 75 campsites, electricity, dump station, laundry, showers, boat launch, beach. For nature and tranquility lovers, being in a more remote area, peace and quiet are guaranteed. For photography or nature excursions, plan for possible access via forest path or secondary roads (Missionary Lake Road): check road conditions carefully, especially in the off-season. If you have an RV or large trailer, check the space, access, and size of the sites.

Today we arrived at this campsite. We had booked several months ago. When we arrived, we were told that the site we had chosen had flooded four days earlier, so they had relocated us... to a trailer park. No call to inform us. We were in a tent. There were absolutely no trees, and therefore no shade. No privacy, and the neighboring trailers were piled on top of each other because they were so tightly packed. A site in full sun in a trailer park that we would never have chosen to stay in, let alone in a tent!!! We left and had to try to find a campsite that had availability at the last minute so as not to return home empty-handed :-( Luckily, we found one at Camping du Parc. What a contrast :-)

Small friendly campsite, this is my 3rd time, a stone's throw from the beach, magnificent view, there are a lot of small pebbles and mussels before reaching a reasonable water level. Clean toilet. The only downside is a $ 3 shower ......
