A few weeks ago I camped at La Mauricie National Park located in the Province of Quebec. Let me start by saying this park is massive and loads to explore. It has a similar feel as Algonquin Park with the exception of a language barrier. While most people in the park are bilingual, some don't speak English at all so if you plan on going I recommend you knowing at least the basics like 'There's a bear on my site and he's eating dinner' hehe JK. But seriously learning the basics will help you communicate with others in this National Park. The park features plenty of lakes to portage and trails to hike. You can expect to see the standard wildlife often found in Eastern Canada such as Bear, Moose, Wolf, Raccoons, Squirrels and so forth, but you may also find some Woodpeckers too. Some believe there are Cougars here too but seeing them is quite rare. You can also swim, fish, and bike to name a few.
Did you know Canada counts more lakes than the rest of the world combined? Wapizagonke Lake in La Mauricie National Park is definitely worth a canoe-camping weekend! Make sure to visit The Waber Falls, only accessible by canoe and after an easy 1-hour long hike. Don't forget your camera, there are a few amazing viewpoints out there! #LifeAtExpedia
A bit of early morning Fall colours at Lac La Pêche in Mauricie National Park. Nothing too fancy but some pretty nice walking trails :) #BVStrover

Tout était parfait. La réception +++ Par contre, pour moi le lit était trop dur mais pour les 2 personnes qui m’accompagnaient c’était correct.

Pratique (nous n'avons manqué de rien !), propre, charmant, très bien pour un petit weekend. Bornes de recharge à proximité, dont 2 offertes par l'hôtel :-) Dans les "moins" : bruyant (la rue, et le gros tuyau de canalisation à côté du lit), et le lit est très dur.
