Protected area. Enriching nature experiences.

Who hasn't dreamed of a day spent lounging on a vast sandy shore and walking for miles without reaching the end? That's exactly what you can do on kilometres of shoreline at Parc national de la Pointe-Taillon. Close examination of the sand reveals a world of splendour: garnets, zircon, lodestone...a fabulous wealth of beautiful semi-precious minerals. Boating and beach activities enthusiasts love the exceptionally warm water of Lac Saint-Jean. The park's cycling network starts just a few steps from the beach. It totals 45 km, 16 of which are linked to Véloroute des Bleuets.

Camping

The park offers many campsites. 3 of 5 campgrounds can be reached from the cycling path by bicycle or on foot.

Some campsites have room for a second tent or a screened-in shelter. Fires are only allowed in designated areas. A mini-trailer to carry your baggage on foot or by bike is provided to you for free for the entire length of your stay.

Near the parking area in the Pointe-Taillon sector, you’ll find all of the services: showers, snack bar, boutique, equipment rental, supervised beach and playground. Why not rent a few bikes to get to your site more easily and to tour the park?

Les Castors campground

This rustic camping area, featuring 33 campsites, is located 2 km from the Discovery and Visitors Centre (about 10 minutes by bike or 45 minutes by foot). It is located on the edge of Lac Saint-Jean, where you can enjoy the sandy shores and warm water of the lake.

Note: These campsites will therefore not be available for the start of bookings for summer 2024. They will be offered for reservations later in 2024, depending on lake levels (land evaluation to follow).

Migrateur campground

This camping area, featuring 10 rustic campsites, is located at 3 km from the Discovery and Visitors Centre (about 15 minutes by bike or an hour by foot). Certain campsites have a partial view of Lac Saint-Jean. You can enjoy the sandy shores and warm water of the lake.

Le Prospecteur campground

This camping area, featuring 29 rustic campsites, is located in a pine grove, 4 km from the Discovery and Visitors Centre (about 20 minutes by bike or an hour and 15 minutes by foot). Certain campsites have a partial view of Lac Saint-Jean. You can enjoy the sandy shores and warm water of the lake.

Pointe-Chevrette campground

Six rustic campsites are located on the edge of Péribonka River. This camping area is located 20 km from the Discovery and Visitors Centre of the Pointe-Taillon sector (about two and a half hours by bike or four and a half hours by foot). It is also accessible via the Sainte-Monique sector (11 km by bike or on foot). You can also access the camping area by way of the Péribonka shuttle ferry. Please note that there is no luggage trailer if you are leaving from the Sainte-Monique sector.

Île-Bouliane campground

Six rustic campsites are located on Île-Bouliane. This camping area is accessible by water only, either by taking the Périkonka shuttle ferry or by water craft (25 km trip, about 4 hours).

Camp-de-Touage campground

26 semi-services campsites and 44 campsites with 2-services are offered in the Camp-de-Touage-Les-Îles sector (Saint-Gédéon). This new campground is located on the shore of Lac Saint-Jean and offers some sandy shores. Dogs are allowed on certain campsites in this sector. This sector is accessible by car, in addition to being crossed by the Véloroute des Bleuets.

Connelly, Petite île Verte, and Beemer island campgrounds

Camping by the lake. Rustic campsites have been set up on three small islands in the new Camp-de-Touage-Les-Îles sector. There are six sites per island with a dry toilet, picnic table, and fire pit. Each island is dotted with beautiful little sandy beaches and each offers a breathtaking view of Lac Saint-Jean. Nothing better than a few nights of island camping to get away from it all! The sites are accessible by sea kayak or with a shuttle that will pick you up at the agreed upon time thanks to Tax'îles. During the day, kayakers can take advantage of the opportunity to explore the archipelago, which is renowned for its exoticism, and to take their own sweet time to beach as they please. Bookings by phone at 1-800-665-6527.

Period: mid-June to mid-October (depending on the sector, subject to change without notice)

Park access authorization

There is a limit to the number of visitors that can enter a national park on any given day. It is therefore strongly recommended that you purchase your right of access online before a visit or that you acquire an annual pass. This guarantees you access to the park, will ensure a smoother arrival at the site and avoid unnecessary travel when the maximum capacity is reached. It can be purchased up to 30 days before a visit. You may be denied access to a sector, a trail, or an activity if a parking lot is full or if the maximum capacity has been reached.
