About This Campsite

**Camping In The Garden Of My Father** "Camping In The Garden Of My Father" offers a distinct camping experience with its location near an industrial area. While it may not be the quintessential serene retreat, it provides a practical stopover for travelers in Quebec, especially given its proximity to La Baie city and allowance for RVs and tents. ### Tips and Considerations: - **Proximity to Town**: The campsite is conveniently located just 20 minutes away by bicycle from La Baie, offering potential excursions for those wanting to explore the nearby city. - **Accommodation Options**: Features like yurts and rustic cabanas are available, providing varied accommodation that is strategically placed for privacy and convenience. - **Noise Levels**: The campground is close to a train track, which, although infrequent, can be disruptive. Guests also reported noise from military planes during the day. - **Language and Communication**: Most staff and locals speak French, which may pose a challenge for non-French speakers. - **Pet-Friendly**: One of the few places in Quebec where dogs are allowed, making it a viable choice for pet owners. - **Amenities**: Onsite amenities include a small shop, restaurant open on certain days, fishing opportunities, and game rentals for a small deposit, which can enhance the camping experience. ### Overall Thoughts: While "Camping In The Garden Of My Father" might not suit those looking for a quiet getaway, it serves well for travelers needing a brief stop with essential amenities. Its variety in accommodation types and allowance for pets makes it flexible for different needs, but potential guests should prepare for some language barriers and noise from nearby activities.

This campsite is located next to an industrial area. The town next to it is not cozy. If you want a quiet place, don't come here. Not far from the campsite is the train track, which doesn't run very often, but even the few tracks are enough to wake you up at 2:30 in the morning to the noise. During the day, they speak French several times over the loudspeaker. The restaurant is only open on certain days, the nearest breakfast place is 5 km away. The water in the bath is disposable, it cannot be adjusted, the temperature is 30 degrees. The staff doesn't speak English at all. Basic words like milk, washing machine, coffee and are a problem. I could understand myself better in the middle of Africa than here. Camping sites are often located next to each other. Choose this campsite only in case of emergency, if there is no other option.

My son stopped here on his way back to BC he does not speak French. Was used to picking a site then owners operators come by and collect the fee. He was harassed and treated like a criminal because he didn’t have a reservation. Even when he was trying to pay they were extremely rude. He paid 54 dollars but ended up leaving because he felt so uncomfortable there. Not a good way to treat tourists. Definitely would not recommend this place to travellers

Good place to stop while passing through, mostly rvs and quiet cramped but we tented in their overflow tent sites, which were tucked away behind the rvs in the back. It was actually very quiet and removed from the main part of the campground. The campground is on a beautiful river. Nice staff and very accommodating to tourists.

Great place to stay with kids. We stayed in Yurt, that has a private access and away from RV's. Rustic cabanas although have good placing. They have a place for fishing, mostly for kinds, but adults have fun too, by fishing trout. Games are available for 5$ deposit, little shop and restaurant. All what you need basically. The camping is 20 minutes away by bicycle from La baie city (a place to visit). From the inconvenience is the train that pass from the other side of the river and military planes during the day, but after 1 day we get used to that and was not really bothered anymore.

One of the few places that allows dogs when camping in Quebec. Mainly for RVs, super small, 5 minutes away from the downtown core which was an added bonus. I stayed in the quiet section for tents; no privacy, everything is out in the open therefore you can hear everything.
