Camping de la Rivière-à-la-Pêche — Hotel in Shawinigan

Beautiful campground spot located in the national park. All the facilities are very clean, spacious shower. In the little chalet, there is a spot where you can do the dishes, the laundry or use the large tables if it rains. Several drinkable water faucet along the way but not in the park itself, so make sure you have plenty with you before hiking. If you have a tent, be aware that the soil is made of gravel. So, you'll need a hammer to plant the stakes or a rock found during the hike! The majority of the hiking paths start behind the main pavillon and you'll have a splendid view of the lakes around. The trails are very well maintained. This park offer a lot of snow activities as well! Definitely a place to discover, the staff is young, knowledgeable and friendly. Worth the road trip to get to it, if you do not leave in the area. Make sure to know how you'll go to and leave the park, as hitchhiking is not that...

Incredible job by Parks Canada. We stayed here in late August 2019. This is one of the nicest campgrounds I have ever stayed in. Every site that we saw was private, elevated, and surrounded by lush vegetation. We could not see our neighbours. The staff at the front kiosk were excellent. Parks Canada has upgraded the facilities to a new level. I wish the parks in Atlantic Canada would be as well kept as this one. Being close to urban centres it fills up fast, so book your spots early. We enjoyed this campground so much we wanted to stay a second nights. We were very lucky to be able to renew our spot for a second night, it is unusual, especially if you are here...

This is one of the nicest, cleanest, equipped campgrounds I have ever stayed in. I have camped coast to coast across Canada and the USA and this is the best. I don't like RV parks so that is not what I'm comparing to. This has private sites with dense trees between. The heated picnic area and showers are amazing. Plus, there are lots to do and see...
