A family-run campground near Waterloo and Shefford in Quebec's Eastern Townships, liked for its friendly staff, pool and pond, and easy highway access. Some sites are open and can get muddy.
Camping De L'Estrie is a short hop off Autoroute 10 near Shefford, with Waterloo just a few minutes away and Bromont and Granby within about 20 minutes. Reviewers describe a small family business with obvious pride of ownership, well-kept grounds and a quiet feel in the evenings. A dock on the pond is a popular spot for watching the sunset.
Staff get consistent praise for being friendly, including for serving English-speaking guests. The overnight area for short-stay campers has generous grassy sites with individual fire pits, and firewood can be delivered to your site. The camp store is well stocked, sells soft-serve, and one recent visitor noted you can now order hot food ahead of time. Washrooms and showers were described as clean.
It suits families well. There's a large pool with adults-only spas, a splash area for small children, a playground built like a pirate ship that lights up at night, and a small pond with paddle boat rentals and some fishing. Granby Zoo makes an easy day trip, and Waterloo has a large grocery store and a pump track.
Not everything suits everyone. The overnight sites have little or no shade, one camper found sites unlevel and slow to drain during a wet week, and that same visitor felt the quiet hours weren't enforced. Another mentioned a lot of house flies around the picnic table, and potholes on the internal road. The pool closes for the season by mid-September, so shoulder-season visitors should expect a quieter, pared-back stay.
