A big family campground in Stoneham, about 20 minutes from Quebec City, with a river for tubing, pool, splash pad and huge play areas. Sites are small and tightly packed.
What visitors say
Camping Stoneham sits in a valley between the mountains of Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, with a river running through the grounds that many campers love falling asleep to. It's about 20 minutes from Quebec City and close to Jacques-Cartier National Park and the mountain bike trails at Empire 47 and Sentiers du Moulin.
It's built for kids. Reviewers list a pool, splash pad, a large and inventive playground with a zip line, mini-golf, a games room with pool and ping-pong tables, basketball and volleyball courts, and weekly activities. The highlight for many is floating down the shallow river on tubes or rafts, though several warn that low water means rocks, so a boat-style float is kinder than a tube. There's laundry, a small store and a food truck; recent guests enjoyed poutine delivered to their site.
Most people find the grounds clean and the staff friendly. Riverside sites are the ones to ask for. Seasonal campers and families return year after year, and fireworks on Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day get a mention.
The common complaint is crowding: sites are small and close together, with little between them, and fire pits sit near tables and tents. Recent campers strongly advise against site 131, which is exposed to two roads, and an older review warns off site 121 next to the washrooms. Showers are coin-operated and short, with lukewarm water for some. Wi-Fi costs extra, cell signal is weak, the gate closes after office hours at night, and an older review notes the pool required bathing caps. Dogs may not be permitted, so check first.
