A large Quebec national park near Oka, known for its sandy beach, big serviced campground, bike trails and a hilltop walk with views; it fills up and dogs are restricted in many areas.
Oka National Park is one of the busiest parks near Montreal, and the beach is the main draw. Reviewers describe clean water, white sand and warm swimming, though it gets crowded on summer weekends. Beyond the beach there are bike and walking trails throughout, plus shaded picnic areas with tables and barbecues.
The campground is big, and campers say many sites have water and electricity, with fully serviced sites available too. Privacy and levelness vary from site to site. Washrooms are described as new and clean with good hot water, and there's a camp store with basic supplies and food, plus washing machines.
It suits families well. First-time campers with a toddler found it easy going, and paddle boats are popular with kids, though strong winds can make that less fun. A walking trail climbs a hill to a lookout over the region, lined with historic religious art. The village of Oka is nearby for supplies.
Plan ahead: one couple arriving in mid-September found the tent sites full and had to take an RV site. Dog owners should know pets are only allowed on some trails and campground areas, and not on the beach.
