Camping is more popular than ever in Québec. Nestled in the heart of nature, campgrounds offer families the perfect opportunity to unplug, enjoy the outdoors, and spend quality time together. But did you know that Québec’s outfitters also make excellent places to pitch a tent or park your RV?
That’s right! Our outfitters are ready to welcome you for a camping getaway in the heart of Québec’s breathtaking wilderness. It’s one of the province’s best-kept secrets—and here’s why.
1. An Affordable Way to Stay
Campgrounds at Québec outfitters offer options for every budget. They’re a great alternative if you want to enjoy an outfitter’s facilities without booking a cottage or a lodge room. You'll enjoy all the comforts of your own camping setup while calling this little corner of paradise home for a few days beneath blue skies. With so many outdoor activities available, you’ll have plenty to keep you busy—and your wallet will thank you.
2. Outfitter Campgrounds Can Be Found Across Québec
More than 12 tourism regions across Québec are home to outfitters located on vast forested lands.
Heading east? Plan a stop along the south shore of the St. Lawrence River in Chaudière-Appalaches, Bas-Saint-Laurent, or Gaspésie. If you’re travelling on the north shore, the outfitters of Côte-Nord offer a warm welcome for both relaxing vacations and outdoor adventures. Travelling west? The pristine wilderness of Outaouais and Abitibi-Témiscamingue is waiting to be explored. Prefer cooler northern air? Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean promises unforgettable nights beneath star-filled skies. For a truly off-the-beaten-path experience, we recommend camping in Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, where spectacular wilderness and Eeyou (Cree) guides offer an experience unlike anywhere else. That said, thanks to its central location, Mauricie is often the perfect meeting point for groups coming from different regions of Québec.
If you’d rather stay closer to the city, outfitters in Charlevoix, Lanaudière, and the Laurentians offer equally memorable adventures—all within an easy drive.
Camping enthusiasts who enjoy discovering new destinations will be happy to know that more than 85 outfitters offer camping accommodations. Whether you prefer staying close to urban centres or venturing into remote regions, you’ll find plenty of options to suit your travel style.
3. There's Something for Every Type of Camper
What kind of camper are you? Do you dream of complete solitude deep in the wilderness, following in the footsteps of the voyageurs? Or are you travelling with family and looking for plenty of activities and convenient amenities nearby? Whether you're camping in a tent, towing a trailer, or travelling by RV, outfitters offer a wide variety of campsites—with or without services—to match your needs and vacation style. Whatever your preference, you can always count on a warm welcome from your hosts.
If you're a fan of boondocking or van life—camping off-grid with little or no services while remaining completely self-sufficient—you'll be happy to know that more than 55 outfitters welcome RVs. Whether you're looking for a last-minute overnight stop or a secluded site surrounded by nature, they'll be happy to help you find the perfect place to park. That said, why not stay for more than one night? You may find it hard to leave.
4. Enjoy Peace and Quiet Like Nowhere Else
Because outfitters often have access to vast wilderness areas, many offer secluded campsites where you can pitch your tent well away from your neighbours—friendly as they may be—and truly disconnect in nature. It's the ultimate escape. You'll have your own private campsite to relax, unwind, and savour the moment, whether you're with family and friends or enjoying some solitude. We can already picture ourselves gathered around the campfire after a full day on the water, lulled by the soothing sounds of nature.
If you're more social, you'll also enjoy meeting fellow hunters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts who share your passions and are always happy to exchange stories and tips. Outfitters strike the perfect balance between peaceful solitude and friendly community. One thing is certain: you'll have plenty in common with your fellow campers.
5. Your Favourite Outdoor Activities Are Right Outside Your Door
Summer in Québec is short, so it's worth making the most of every moment. One of the biggest advantages of camping at an outfitter is having all your favourite summer outdoor activities in one place. Hunting, fishing, and motorized sports are perfect for thrill-seekers, while paddleboarding, floating playgrounds, and sandy beaches provide endless fun for families. Nature lovers can enjoy hiking, wildlife observation, and birdwatching throughout their stay. There’s no shortage of ways to make unforgettable summer memories. 
Just reading about it makes us want to roast marshmallows over the campfire. Outfitters stand out thanks to the incredible variety of experiences they offer, and camping is no exception. It perfectly reflects their mission: providing places where visitors can relax, reconnect with nature, and create lasting memories.
And the best part? Outfitters aren't just for hunters and anglers—everyone is welcome. If camping isn't your style, that's perfectly fine too. Outfitters also offer a wide range of accommodations, including cottages, cabins, lodges, and even houseboats. So what are you waiting for? Answer the call of Québec's outfitters.
