Camping Du Parc
Overview
Overview
Camping Du Parc in Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc, QC sits at the edge of the Mauricie region, offering travelers a distinctly forested Quebec camping experience. The campground serves as a natural basecamp for road-trippers navigating the Laurentian foothills, drawing those who appreciate dense woodlands and quiet Canadian landscapes. La Mauricie National Park sits just beyond the municipal boundaries, giving this destination a reputation for wild terrain and outdoor recreation access.
Location & Surroundings
Arriving at Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc means navigating winding rural roads through the rolling terrain of Mauricie. Travelers typically approach via Route 155 from Shawinigan or Grand-Mère, passing through dense mixed forests of birch, pine, and maple. The local climate brings warm summers and crisp autumns framed by vibrant foliage, making seasonal weather a primary factor for trip planning in this part of Quebec.
Amenities & Park Features
Because property configurations vary widely across regional Quebec campgrounds, travelers should contact Camping Du Parc directly to confirm specific facility details. Essential questions to ask park management include site dimensions, electrical hookup capacity, water availability, and waste station locations. Visitors should also verify vehicle clearance limits for larger motorhomes and fifth wheels before arriving on site.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Outdoor enthusiasts will find endless activities centered around the nearby Saint-Maurice River and the rugged wilderness of La Mauricie National Park. Hiking trails, canoe routes, and pristine freshwater lakes define the regional offerings, located just minutes from Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc. Day trips into nearby Shawinigan provide access to local dining, historical industrial sites, and cultural museums celebrating the heritage of the Mauricie valley.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination appeals directly to self-contained RVers, outdoor photographers, and nature-focused road-trippers looking to immerse themselves in the Canadian Shield landscape. Campers seeking urban nightlife or resort-style entertainment may find the wooded, secluded environment too quiet. However, those prioritizing forest canopy, hiking access, and a genuine Mauricie wilderness atmosphere will find this location well-suited to their travel style.

Very close to Maurice park. Lot of trais and beautiful nature around. Tents section is very overcrowded. In a very small space we were lots of tents. You can hear people snoring, babies crying, etc.
