Pointe-Yamachiche | Wild Camping

November 8th, 2023 by jessicasdawe

Parking lot for a walking trail. Closest ramp from the highway was closed at the time. Spent the night in our 16 ft tow behind trailer. Super quiet, noone around in the evening but a few locals in the morning bird watching. Garbage can and recycling available at trail head. walking trail is 1.5 km in total, beautiful board walk with lots of local curious birds 🐦 would stay again! Trail is dog friendly. NO "no camping" signs present

Asked Parks Canada worker, overnights are allowed but many locals stop by at night

Drive to the very top of the dam and park on the right side for a very nice sunset, can also walk across boat canal

Super endroit très tranquille malgré près de l’autoroute. Idéal pour les chiens. Beaucoup de moustiques nous n’avons pas fait de randonnée. Très près de l’autoroute, aucun détour.

We had a pleasant and quiet one-night stay here. The site is as described. We were joined by three other over-nighters. There is some highway noise, but it is minimal at night. The trails are nice to explore, but the mosquitos are plenty!

It was super full when I arrived arround 12am but it was totally ok to sleep there. And in the morning you can take a walk and watch some birds.

Coin calme lors de notre passage, bruit de la route présent mais pas du tout dérangeant. Toilettes chimiques à disposition mais sales

Perfect spot, we were 3 Vans the night we were there. Locals go swimming, we did not check out the swimming area.

Bel endroit pour passé la nuit, à 2minutes de l’autoroute, mais on l’entend pratiquement pas. Un assez grand parking pour plusieurs campeur. Toilette sèche disponible, mais sans eau sur le site

Great packed gravel parking area with room for snall and mid-sized rigs.

Quiet place to spend the night. Trail start for the next morning

Bel endroit tranquille non loin de l'autoroute 40. Bac à déchets, pas de toilette. Nous y avons passé la nuit en compagnie de deux autres motorisés.

Arrêté pour une nuit bel endroit, un peu de va et vient de voiture et on entend un peu les voitures de l'autoroute mais parfait pour une nuit. Beaux petits sentiers à visiter également.

Stayed at Pointe Yamachiche again (our 6-7th night in the past 2 summers). The space is as wonderful as the first time.

Now, This is IMPORTANT: the site is getting way more crowded and at this pace the municipality will eventually forbid overnight parking.

Please people be respectful and responsible. Yesturday someone showed up at 10:00 pm and started it generator for an our until we politely asked him to turn it off. Also clean your trash when you leave, this is a bird sanctuary, not a party beach (the city already added more trash/recycle bins). Also, don’t light fires in the parking lot.

Thank you and enjoy your stay.

Super place ! Tranquille!
Nous étions seul en semaine.
Si on stationne à gauche de l’entrée du sentier, c’est plus à l’ombre le matin.

Very calm spot! Nice &easy walk with the dog. Small river. Lots of birds!

Très beau stationnement tranquille. Un seul VR avec nous en même temps. Très beau sentier de randonnée. Chant d'oies au matin!

Ok for one night stay, the park is great !

September 23rd, 2020 by faulknergail

Stopped here overnight. beautiful walk to the beach and great sunset. Unfortunately, we were woken up by local hooligans who proceeded to do donuts in the parking lot, spraying us with gravel. They finally headed out around midnight, and we decided to head out as well in case they came ba ck. This seems like an iaolated incident, based on the numerous good comments about the spot. i would probably try it again.

Quiet parking lot with no sign of no overnight parking.
Quick and easy access from the highway. We have a 36ft motor home, no issue for parking. Nice boardwalk to walk the dogs. 20 minutes walk to a nice clean beach.

nice parking spot in the woods close to the highway but quiet. amazing morning walk to the beach with bird watching

September 3rd, 2020 by fortin.penelope

Wonderful quiet spot and nice little walk to the lake in the morning.

August 30th, 2020 by gmsupertramp

Very nice area, as described by others. Be sure to check out the trails and boardwalk!

Très tranquile, bel endroit autant pour un petit arrêt de jour que pour y passer la nuit.

July 27th, 2020 by Explorex3

Great place for overnight, there was 4 others RV that night. Police came to check at 10:30pm and then left. Safe place with a small beach 20 minutes walk.

July 10th, 2020 by kat_vigeant

Bel endroit, nous avons passé deux nuits sans souci. Nous avons vite oublié l'autoroute en allant marcher à écouter les oiseaux chanter. Belle passerelle en bois. 20 minutes de marche et nous arrivons à une belle petite plage. Le niveau de l'eau est bas, nous pouvons marcher longuement avant d'en avoir aux genoux (selon le niveau de l'eau de cette année). Chiens admis en laisse (on aime!). Par contre, certains ont laissé le caca de leur chien dans le sentier. S.v.p, ayez la gentillesse de ramasser pour éviter qu'on perde ce beau privilège d'aller s'y promener!
Nous avons croisé des personnes qui dormaient sur la plage avec une tente.

Could be good if you like old men who like old men... be aware!

Stationnement de la Réserve naturelle Pointe Yamachiche, près de l'autoroute. Un peu bruyant en début de soirée. Parfait pour les amateurs d'observation d'oiseau, juste à côté des sentiers qui mènent à la pointe. Chiens admis en laisse.

Just off the highway yet no real traffic noise. Surrounded by nature, and a trail head where the board walk is beautiful (not a super popular trail, so not too much in and out traffic) . No signs against camping or overnight parking. No amenities. We actually arrived early evening and took our time the next morning with no issues at all.

beau petit coin, assez paisible, passer une bonne nuit 👍

July 15th, 2019 by PhilonWheels

Super quiet, no visitor or traffic during the night, woke up to bird singing. Super place, just bring mosquito repellant if outside.. they are ferocious.

Really a good stop on the way from Québec to Montreal.

Stationnement en gravel près d'un parc avec passerelle sur pilotis pour observer les oiseaux.Une bonne nuit tranquille sans problème.

September 9th, 2017 by eksbawks

Very nice as described in other posts.

August 27th, 2017 by bastien.noverraz

Petit parking sympa à côté du parque, qui est essentiellement une marche sur ponton. Un peu de trafic, surtout de visiteurs du parque. Poubelles disponibles.

Nice little parking just outside the Yamachiche point park. The park itself is essentially made of a wooden shore path, which is nice for a one hour tour. Garbage bins available.

July 27th, 2017 by ekennaj_nebbod

Nice place for a nights stay and an evening walk out onto the boardwalk to see some birds.

Very close to the main road for easy access, but also very quiet.

April 18th, 2017 by CocoFé

Good place just on the front of the lake. it's easy to find it from the road.

September 22nd, 2016 by gespanntreisen.com
