Pitch your tent on Île aux Lièvres
Have you ever dreamed of camping in the middle of the St. Lawrence? Of being woken up by the blow of minke whales or by cooing parades of male Common Eiders? Your dream can come true on Île aux Lièvres, a unique destination some call the pearl of the St. Lawrence. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned camper, you can choose among four campgrounds.
