In winter, there are 11 ready-to-camp units, four individual and two group winter campsites for tents, all located between 1.2 km and 4.6 km from the main parking lot. Campers must access their site by either snowshoe or ski. Walking is not permitted on ski and snowshoe trails; it makes the surface uneven and hardens the trail base, creating conditions that can be dangerous for skiers.

Ready-to-camp units

All ready-to-camp units are equiped with bunk beds, table and chairs, cooking items, solar-powered light, wood stove, refrigerator or cooler, cooking surface, a fire pit with grill, and parking for one vehicle (located between 1.2 and 4.6 km from the site).

Dry toilet on-site. No services (electricity, water or sewers).
