Camping KOA Bas St-Laurent

We added an extra half hour to our drive to stay here instead of somewhere along the highway, and it was worth it. The campground is tucked away beside the lake, with lots of good sites and cabins. Kids have a trampoline park and pool, and there’s beach volleyball and plenty of other activities too. Getting there takes a bit of driving, but it’s a nice escape from the busy city. We’ll definitely stay here again when we’re traveling.

The staff were friendly, and the rest of the facilities were great. The resort and RV area looked lovely too. I booked a lakeside tent site and missed that the nearest washrooms were 900 feet away. If I’d noticed, I would’ve thought twice, since that’s quite a walk. I understand the site has no water access, but an outhouse might be worth considering.

Our only regret was not having more time to stay. We chose a premium site for $114 before tax and got a gorgeous lake view, along with a swing, gazebo, and porch. It costs more than most campsites, though depending on what you’re looking for, it can be worth it. The place is calm, clean, family friendly, and well organized and maintained. Staff were nice, helpful, and patient, and there were good facilities and plenty of activity options. Great spot for RVs and trailers.

It was very quiet and peaceful here. My site was fairly level and long enough for my 26-foot RV and toad, with 50/30 amp power, water, sewer, a fire pit, and picnic table. The pull-through sites have two sewer connections, one in the middle and one toward the back, which is handy with a larger rig. Staff were good, and many can speak English. Wi-Fi costs extra; I used my Rogers Hot Spot and it was okay. Cable has 25 channels, though most are in French. Showers have great pressure and hot water, but the push button only gives you 15 seconds at a time, so you spend a lot of time pressing it.
