Urban camping at RécréoParc

The rendezvous polaires is a great activity to do with kids. Lots of things to do, and it gets wonderful at night when the lights go on.

Lovely spot, but lacks slightly in client management

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 :)

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

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.

Good place for camping and very close to Montreal. The place very clean and well maintained. The staff are friendly and helpful.

I have never been urban camping before, only regular camping, and it just isn’t for me. Here are the things I noted good and bad:- Can’t bring car to the camp site- No camp fires on sites- Very open none private sites (this includes those glass domes you can rent)- Showers $.25 per minute which showers are usually free at regular camp grounds- Porta potties aren’t too far- Lots of wild life like ground hogs- People take the wagons and do not return them, good luck finding one without asking other campers for theirs- Nice cafe- They hold little events- Very nice bike path- Potable water (but be careful of the water pressure)- Workers often driving on the golf cartsI wouldn’t go again but it’s good for someone who wants a modernized camping trip.

Its a nice view but the campground is not really good, you need to carry all your things going to your site there is a free wagon that you can used but you need to wait for like 15 to 20 mins if your lucky that somebody bring back the wagon at the parking lot because most of them after using they just lieve on their site…. The washroom you need to walk for 5 mins… and one thing the camsite is not clean…..i cant recommend this place

Great for camping and biking.I have done both.Biking is amazing it is along the water and it continues all the way back to victoria bridge.For the camping, it is clean, organized and safe.

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.
