Camping Lac St-Augustin
A campground with cabins on Lac Saint-Augustin, about 15 to 20 minutes from Quebec City, with friendly staff. Washroom cleanliness and tightly packed sites are frequent complaints.
What visitors say
Camping Lac St-Augustin is on the edge of Quebec City in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, and nearly every reviewer agrees the location is its biggest strength. Downtown is roughly a 15-minute drive, and most of the region's attractions are within half an hour. Guests describe it as family- and pet-friendly, with few bugs.
Staff get warm reviews for being friendly, courteous and helpful, and several guests say service made their stay. The cabins are dated, with small showers, but some visitors found them spotless and the internet reliable. Tent and RV sites are available, with running water and public showers.
It suits young families and travellers who want a cheap, close base for sightseeing in Quebec City more than a destination campground. There's no bike path, and one guest noted the lake was closed to swimming because of an algae bloom during their stay.
The negatives are consistent. Several reviewers, including recent ones, found the washrooms and showers dirty, and others describe sites packed close together with little privacy, litter beyond the entrance area, fast-moving golf carts and fire pits set close to neighbouring sites. One camper had no water for four days. Look over the washrooms and your site on arrival, and treat it as a place to sleep between outings.
