Full service campsite with amazing view of the river, only a short drive from Sherbrooke. Love the mini farm and connection with nature.

We decided to camp without service because we wanted to be near the river. We absolutely loved it. Sleeping with the sound of the river was just so perfect. Peaceful and wooded … very lucky to have found this place. The owner are extremely helpful

The campsite is nice and well organized. The staff is super friendly and always helpful. There are activities and its family-friendly. We stayed with a tent and it was ok. You could hear the cars. The stand alone toilets were ok, but we preferred the chalet ones.

Beware of a strict cancellation policy. We had booked camping here mid-September, to visit my boyfriend's parents who live in the Sherbrooke area. We wanted to camp in order to social distance from them (they are elderly), visit with them outside. With COVID cases on the rise in Sherbrooke, my in-laws cancelled the visit. We let the campground know over a week in advance that we were not coming, and why, and they still insisted on charging us $20 per day (for rustic tent camping!). Given they showed no compassion or flexibility in exceptional circumstances, I would not recommend this campground to anyone, and will actively tell people to avoid it. Update: I am not sure what you’re talking about, two different reservations in two different campgrounds? This is false. When my husband made the booking on the phone he was assured that there would be flexibility in regard to a refund. Besides, given these exceptional circumstances, ALL policies are negotiable. You are simply choosing to not refund us. Terrible business practice.
