Camping & Hiking · Quebec
A large riverside campground in La Conception, QC, with a long sandy beach and a lazy river for tubing and paddling. Families like the activities; sites are tightly packed and extra fees add up.
Camping de la Montagne D'Argent is a big campground in the Laurentians with a sandy beach running the length of the park along the river. The beach and the slow-moving river are what bring people back, and reviewers talk about floating down on tubes, paddleboarding and canoeing.
Staff get described as friendly, and several campers found the washrooms clean and well stocked. There's a playground, a pool, laundry, a dépanneur and a snack bar. Ready-to-camp units are available, and one family found theirs almost new. Showers are coin-operated, and laundry is on the pricey side.
It suits families and groups who want a lively, social place with plenty to do, and seasonal campers make up a good share of the park. A 38-foot RV fit on one site, though only just. From Ottawa it's a drive of a little over two hours.
Overall ratings are more divided than the positive reviews suggest, with a sizeable share of one-star ratings. The recurring complaints are small, crowded sites and a park that charges for most extras, including daily visitor fees. Several people warn that the river current is stronger than it looks and the depth drops off quickly in places, so keep an eye on children. The few waterfront and back-corner sites are the most private if you can get them.
