Summer camping: booking starts March 15
Due to construction at the Philippe Lake campground, only canoe-camping at La Pêche Lake will be available in summer 2024. Campsites and ready-to-camp facilities at Philippe, Renaud and Taylor lakes will not be available.
Campers and visitors are expected to know and comply with all Gatineau Park rules and regulations during their stay.
Alcohol
It is prohibited to possess or consume alcohol in any area other than your own campsite.
Smoking
Smoking is prohibited in the ready-to-camp units and within 9 meters from a door of any building.
Vehicles
Camping fee includes access for a vehicle. Any other vehicle must park at the beach parking, where entrance fees may apply.
Animals
Pets are not permitted in Gatineau Park campgrounds. However, assistance animals are permitted.
Wildlife
Feeding wild animals (raccoons, squirrels, bears, waterfowl, etc.) is strictly prohibited. At La Pêche Lake, hang food, garbage and other items with the lifting pole provided at each canoe-camping site. This is a requirement.
Quiet hours
Quiet hours are between 10 pm and 7 am. Please be considerate of your neighbours, and avoid making excessive noise at all times.
Speed limit
The campground speed limit is 20 km/h.
Campfires
Campfires are permitted in designated areas only. Note that a ban on open fires may be decreed without notice. For more information, consult the website of the municipality of La Pêche. The municipality issues notices based on the recommendations of the Société de protection des forêts contre le feu.
Firewood
Cutting trees or collecting wood from the forest is strictly prohibited. Campers are also prohibited from bringing their own firewood to the site, as firewood can often be infested with insects and disease. Firewood brought from outside the Park will be confiscated.
Sport fishing
Fishing is permitted, except at beaches, subject to Quebec legislation for Zone 10.
Garbage
Users must pack out all of their garbage. Waste containers and recycling bins are located in the parking lots and at the campground comfort stations.
Cleanliness
At all times, users are responsible for ensuring that the premises and equipment provided are kept clean and tidy. Ready-to-camp units that are not left in clean condition will be cleaned at the users’ expense.
Visitors
Guests will not be admitted to the campground after 8 pm, and must leave by 10 pm.
Tents
Campers must set up their tent on the designated site.
