Domaine Lausanne
A large lakeside campground in Ivry-sur-le-Lac in the Laurentians, with a shallow swimming lake, trails and yurts, but reviews are sharply divided over dated facilities and cramped sites.
What visitors say
Domaine Lausanne sits on a lake in the Laurentians, surrounded by hills that colour up nicely in the fall. The lake itself gets praise for being clear, shallow and comfortable for swimming, and there are walking and biking paths plus access to the P'tit Train du Nord trail.
Staff are generally described as friendly, and some sites offer a bit of privacy or a view from the tent platforms up the stairs. Floating yurts and lodges are available, there's a chip stand and ice cream counter, and the grounds are patrolled with no late-night parties.
Seniors and quieter campers have enjoyed it, and cyclists appreciate being close to the rail trail.
The rating is low for a reason. Several visitors describe dated, small facilities and old toilets, and some sites are tight: one pull-through billed for a 30 ft trailer was a struggle to manoeuvre. Traffic from busy Highway 117 is audible most nights, and leaving onto it can be tricky. One lodge renter reported a dirty unit, a steep access hill and no refund. Dogs aren't allowed in the lake, and some trails were closed during one stay. Ask for specific site sizes and check the unit before settling in.
