This summer, we’re testing out our true inner wilderness girl on a family camping trip at one of these nearby campgrounds.
Au Diable Vert
This Tourisme Quebec-nominated property boasts suites, cabins and “prospector tents,” but we’ll opt for a spot in the campground. With 35 sites on over 200 acres, we’re sure to discover Mother Nature as the family nestles up by the fire.

Lac Simon
Located in Outaouais, this four-season resort boasts a 2 km beach, playgrounds, mini golf, bike paths and plenty of activities to keep us busy. We can stay in one of the Hekipia ready-to-camp tents or set up our own in the 400-site campground.
