Parc national du Mont-Tremblant — Attraction in Lac-des-Dix-Milles

Stayed at at the Lac-des-Sables campground, was really beautiful. Stayed in site 36 and have previously stayed in site 2 as well. All the sites are relatively seperated from neighbors compared to some other campgrounds I've been to. Deeply wooded. One main restroom building with full washrooms and showers. Outhouses and water taps scattered throughout the campground. Can stay at a camping site for tents or rvs, or a ready to camp site which has a cabin with beds and a kitchen, as well as supplies and linens, you just need to bring clothes and food for the ready to camp sites. Environment was respectful, by 10 pm all was pretty silent. Amazing sandy beach with very shallow lake and a kids playground adjacent. Walked out a good 50 m or more into the lake and it never went past my waist, great for little kids. Also the lake bottom was soft sand and not full of rocks or seaweed so it was very pleasant. Water was very clear, easy to see the bottom. Beach is pretty long so even when it's busy it's easy to spread out and not be very crowded. They have boat and kayak rentals and a small store for basic conveniences, ice and firewood all in the same building as the washrooms. They have 2 or 3 hiking trails on the campground, but on the day we decided to go on one, it ended up being closed because a small black bear had been sighted that morning on the trail. Park staff are present but not in an invasive way. You could see them patrolling that day especially, looking out for the bear to relocate it. Campsites and public facilities are kept pretty clean and seem well maintained. MY ONLY COMPLAINT is that the campsites were pretty rocky so even with a tarp under the tent it was hard to walk around with no shoes in the tent and hurt me and my family every so often. Would have to invest in some type of padded tent flooring like foam mats or something similar. My kids play rough and run around a lot and they tripped and fell multiple times on the campsite and got pretty scraped up from all the rocks. That being said, we will for sure go...

I have been camping in parks administered by SEPAQ every year for the last 17 years, and I was enjoying it every time, until now. Today I had an awful experience at Mont Tremblant park (camping lac Monroe). I booked my 3 nights stay ahead of time, and my son and I were very excited about it, because we had a good time last year.The reason was, the guinea pig of my son. My son wanted to take it with us, not knowing that the guinea pigs are not allowed in Quebec's parks. When I made my reservation there was nowhere written that they are not allowed and I tried to explain it to the Sepaq's park ranger. I asked him what kind of a threat is an animal that stays in a cage and does not do anything other than breathing the air of the park. It does not even move, and does not leave the car. I also mentioned that we are coming from Ottawa and that it is a 7 hour drive if we have to go back to leave them with my wife. He did not care, instead he took my drivers licence and started to write something, and also threatened me that I am going to receive a $3000 fine. I asked for a copy of what he just wrote, but he insisted that I will receive it by mail. He then said "Now leave, and never come back". I mentioned that I already paid for my stay, and asked if I would get my money back. His response was to forget about that. By the way, after the fact I googled Sepaq rules about pets and I was shocked when I found that dogs are allowed. Dogs which walk around everywhere can carry diseases, are loud and also can be dangerous for other visitors. I never heard of someone being bitten  by a guinea pig, or someone complaining of a guinea pig barking in the middle of the night. So what I am trying to say is that these rules are absurd. The attitude of the Sepaq employee was unacceptable. It is not important to do your job, it is important , how you do it. The park ranger was rude and disrespectful. We were treated like...

We had a fantastic week during our first full RV campaign at Parc national du Mont-Tremblant! The sites were well-maintained and clean, and the trails were beautiful, suitable for people of all ages. It was a wonderful experience overall. The campsite itself was incredibly peaceful, clean, and immersed in nature. The camping grounds provided easy access to lakes, hiking trails, beaches, and an abundance of nature.

The toilet blocks were well-maintained, and the entire grounds were kept very clean. However, one major issue we encountered was the presence of mosquitoes, black flies, and other insects. It's important to come prepared with enough bug spray to protect yourself from these pests.

The campsite is located in an off-the-grid area, meaning there is no cellphone service available. If you need to use your phone, you'll have to drive outside the park's main entrance to get coverage. The Discovery Center does offer wifi, but it's not reliable. Close to the Discovery Center, there are some spots where you can get cellular and data connectivity, although you may have to move around and find the right spot to get a signal.

Before visiting any specific locations within the park, it's advisable to download maps of the area in advance. Since there is no cell service at the park entrance, they don't provide you with any maps on-site. We had to rely on asking around and making educated guesses to find the beaches.

One of the highlights of our visit was the opportunity to spot wildlife. We saw deer, frogs, chipmunks, baby squirrels, and even some large bunnies. The park truly feels like a wilderness sanctuary, providing a unique chance to observe and appreciate nature up close.

Overall, despite the challenges with cellphone service and insects, our week at Parc national du Mont-Tremblant was incredibly enjoyable. The well-maintained sites, beautiful trails, and abundance of wildlife made it a...
