Offer your family an unforgettable getaway, in the heart of nature, without leaving the city! The Parc nature du Cap-Saint-Jacques invites you to enjoy an enriching camping experience, ideal for anyone’s first outdoor adventure.

Rustic comfort and friendly atmosphere 

Imagine waking up to the song of the birds, surrounded by the forest, close to the water’s edge. Whether you are a couple, family or group, five campsites await you, each set up on a wooden platform that can accommodate up to two adults and four children. For school or community groups, a large site with prospector tents is also available. 

The pitches have no services (no water or electricity), but everything is designed to help you create lasting memories. There’s a picnic table where you can share simple and joyful meals and a community fire circle where laughter, stories and grilled marshmallows warm hearts. It’s a perfect place to slow down and enjoy the outdoors. 

A nearby service centre offers washrooms, showers and a kitchen with dishes and silverware for your convenience. It is important to preserve natural environments and collecting live specimens is prohibited, so wood for the campfire is provided on site. 

The sites are not accessible by car. Trolleys are available to transport your equipment.

And of course, access to the beach during open swim times with a lifeguard on site!
