Urban camping at RécréoParc

What a lovely campground, and right by the river confluence - delightful! We came up from Boston to explore Montreal and wanted to find a close but inexpensive place to stay. RécréoParc is about 30 minutes from downtown Montreal and it was lovely to have both city and nature experiences while visiting. One of our party sleeps in a hammock, and we spent a lot of time looking at photos trying to decide which campsite had adequate trees to hang his hammock. Turns out, every campsite has posts with hooks for hammocks! What a great surprise. A couple things you will want to know/consider: - You cannot drive up to your campsite, you will need to walk on some paved paths and can use wagons provided to convey your gear - There are flushing toilets, but they are near the parking lot so can be quite a walk depending on your campsite location. (They did have some porta potties closer to the campsites for use) - There are also paid showers you can use and tables, lockers and vending machines - Not sure if this was normal or a one-off, but there was no potable water available, even from the drinking fountain when we stayed. They had signs up and offered water bottles to us. - You cannot have a fire at your campsite, but there are several places on site where you can (and they provide wood!!) - There are some playgrounds/obstacle courses, picnic tables and a bike/walking path

What a beautiful place to stay!! On this little island is an urban camping. One of the visitors said it had just opened this May. It looked pretty new to us. We stayed two nights to visit Montreal. The bottom of the campground is build of wood and you have a picnic table at every place. The restrooms are super clean and there are showers which cost 25 cents per minute. You also have WiFi at the restaurant, where the restrooms are. If you want to go to the innercity of Montreal you should have a car, because it took us about 25 minutes by car. The parking area was closed anytime before 11 pm, so we had to park outside of it. That was the only thing which was really annoying. At the night a racoon was visiting us at our tent :)

The place was breathtaking, wow, I loved that place, not only the lost kingdom part, but the whole area, bike trail. Park. The lost kingdom was pretty cool.

Went here a few months ago and it was great! Really beautiful view, only issue is people taking the wagons and not putting them back for others to use which means you have to carry all your gear to your camp site.

Worst camping ever! 3 reasons: 1) You cannot park next to your tent - You must carry all your camping stuff from the central parking up to 600m to your tent spot. 2) No fire allowed on your spot. You must go to the centralized fire place to grill your meat. 3) Washrooms + showers up to 600m away. Remember, you must walk there (see point 1). Alternatively, some portable toilets are available, if you like using that. I don't.
