Location & Surroundings
Situated in the charming town of Desbiens, QC, the park is perfectly positioned to offer direct access to one of the province's most famous bodies of water. The landscape is defined by its vast horizon and the sandy shoreline that gives the park its name.

Guests have access to essential facilities such as clean restrooms, showers, and laundry services. The standout feature is the beautiful sandy beach, which is perfect for swimming or launching a kayak. Families often appreciate the on-site playground and the communal areas designed for social gatherings under the northern sky.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the beach, the region is rich with adventure. A short drive away, you can explore the Trou de la Fée Park, featuring impressive caves and canyon hiking trails. History buffs will enjoy visiting the nearby Historic Village of Val-Jalbert, a perfectly preserved company town from the early 20th century. For those who enjoy active travel, the cycling paths offer a fantastic way to see the lakeside communities. Fishing is also a popular pastime here, with the lake being famous for its unique landlocked salmon.

Samanta Pronovost
The view/beach is exceptional, except no one mentions a train passing in the middle of the night, which is literally almost on the campsite, passes about 3 times between 11pm and 4am. We also hear the highway very well. Cars passing all night. Not very quiet and relaxing.
Hugo Lefebvre
Very peaceful place. Beach was beautiful. Sand was a bit uncomfortable but it wasn’t that bad. Very cute camping

Good location and clean.
Brian Knoepfel
I would give 3.5 stars if that were possible. This place has its positives and negatives. The positives are that the water is nice, it's a nice sandy beach and the have some shelters set up so you can get some shade. Negatives are that it's very crowded, there are a lot of people smoking on the beach and you have to pay a fee to access the beach. The national park across the lake had much nicer beaches if you're going to pay.
