Camping Chalets Lac St-Augustin
A lakeside campground with chalets about 20 minutes from Old Quebec, with a pool, splash pad and canteen. Washroom cleanliness and some awkward, noisy sites draw complaints.
What visitors say
Camping Chalets Lac St-Augustin is on the shore of Lac Saint-Augustin in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, and location is its strongest card. Old Quebec is roughly 20 minutes away and Valcartier about 30, which is close for a campground. One first-time camper singled out the sunrise views over the lake.
Along with RV and tent sites, there are simple chalets and micro-chalets. A recent guest found theirs clean and well equipped, with a coffee maker, dishes, small fridge, barbecue, hot plate and air conditioning. For kids there's a splash pad, an above-ground pool, a playground and a bouncy pillow, and the canteen gets good reviews. Staff are described as friendly and bilingual, and one month-long RVer called the rate reasonable for the area, with extras like a classic car show and fireworks on Labour Day weekend.
It suits families and anyone who wants a base for Quebec City. Google also lists boat rentals and a seasonal restaurant. There's a book-exchange shelf, and the rules are relaxed.
The rating is mixed for a reason. Washroom and shower cleanliness is the most frequent complaint, though other recent guests found them clean, so it seems to vary. Some sites flood when it rains, the main road is narrow, and several sites are tricky to back into with a big rig. Sites near the entrance get traffic, dumpster and highway noise, and noisy neighbours come up too. Ask for a site further in, past the pool and playground.
