Camping Espace Air Pur
A small, spotless campground at Saint-Urbain in Charlevoix with a standout host, private wooded sites and a trail next door. There's no drinking water on site, so bring your own.
What visitors say
Camping Espace Air Pur is a small campground in Saint-Urbain, less than 20 minutes from Baie-Saint-Paul. Nearly every reviewer gives it top marks, describing quiet, private sites among trees, with a river audible nearby and soft lighting in the evening.
The host, Stéphane, is the reason many people rave. Campers say he goes out of his way to help, knows the area well, and speaks English comfortably. The bathrooms and showers are pristine, with one reviewer comparing them to a hotel, and there's a dish-washing station. Sites have solid ground, benches and fire pits, and drain well in rain. There are level spots for vans, and prices were described as excellent.
A hiking trail starts right beside the property, and the campground makes a quiet base for exploring the local forests, trails and the galleries and restaurants of Baie-Saint-Paul. It suits tenters and van travellers who value calm and cleanliness over resort-style facilities.
Two practical points: there's no drinking water on the property, and the bathroom and dish sinks run cold. Fill up your water containers before you arrive.
