Camping Plage Blanchet
A beach campground on Lac Saint-Jean in Chambord, Quebec, known for its sandy, lifeguarded beach and wooded sites. Night trains, highway noise and mosquitoes are common complaints.
What visitors say
Camping Plage Blanchet sits on the shore of Lac Saint-Jean, and the beach is its calling card. Reviewers describe a long stretch of sand with nice water, lifeguards on duty and a few shelters for shade. Several campers found their sites fairly private and treed, with a short walk to the water.
RV sites with full hookups, including 50-amp service, are available. The owners are described as friendly and accommodating, and there's a playground for kids.
Noise is the complaint that comes up most. A railway runs very close to the campground, and more than one visitor was woken by trains, one of them sounding its horn around 3 a.m. Highway traffic is audible too. One camper also found the beach crowded, with smokers and a separate beach access fee.
Mosquitoes can be severe, and one older review described small, muddy showers. Bring earplugs and serious bug protection, and check whether beach access is included in your stay.
