Campgrounds near Champlain, Quebec
Champlain is a small village on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River in the Mauricie region of Quebec, roughly midway between Trois-Rivières and Quebec City along Route 138, the historic Chemin du Roy. The surrounding area gives RV travellers access to riverside campgrounds, large family resorts, and the backcountry sites of La Mauricie National Park near Shawinigan in the Laurentian foothills.
The closest established options sit within a short drive. Camping Parc De La Peninsule, in Sainte-Geneviève-de-Batiscan, is a large riverfront resort: it is the largest campground in the Mauricie region, with 598 sites ringed by the Batiscan River, and features water slides, including one of the highest in the Mauricie region, and a large artificial lake with beach. Camping Cap A La Roche sits across the river in Deschaillons-sur-Saint-Laurent and accommodates Class A, B and C motorhomes as well as trailers and tents, with drinking water, 30-amp electricity and sewer services. Domaine Au Grand R Inc, Camping La Rochelle Inc, and Camping Port St Francois round out the nearby options for travellers basing in the Champlain area.
Things to do near Champlain
The St. Lawrence riverfront defines the area. Cycling and driving the Chemin du Roy heritage route links Champlain to Batiscan, Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, and Trois-Rivières, with stops at historic churches, mills, and small museums along the way. River access supports fishing, boating, and shoreline walking, and several area campgrounds operate beaches, pools, or water-play areas; on-site activities at Camping Parc De La Peninsule include waterslides, miniature golf, organized recreation, a paddling pool, and a children's playground.
For a day trip inland, La Mauricie National Park offers swimming lakes, marked hiking trails, and canoe routes through a chain of glacial lakes. Trois-Rivières adds a riverfront boardwalk, restaurants, and museums within a 30-minute drive.

Most private campgrounds in the Champlain corridor are seasonal. Camping Parc De La Peninsule typically operates from early May to late September, and Camping Cap A La Roche runs mid-May to mid-October. Travellers planning shoulder-season trips should call ahead to confirm opening dates, since cool weather can delay site openings.
Summer is the busy stretch. Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day on June 24, Canada Day on July 1, and the Quebec construction holiday in late July fill resorts quickly and put pressure on the most popular La Mauricie sites. Early fall brings cooler nights, fewer crowds, and strong foliage colour through late September and early October.
La Mauricie National Park runs its main summer season from mid-May to late October, with a gradual start and end of the season. Winter camping is limited to a handful of operators and to specific La Mauricie facilities such as oTENTik units and four-season tent sites.

How to book campgrounds near Champlain
Reservations split between two main systems. For sites inside La Mauricie National Park, bookings run through the Parks Canada Reservation Service. Reservation launches for La Mauricie typically open in early February at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time, and popular lakeside frontcountry loops and oTENTik units sell out within hours for July and August weekends. Backcountry canoe-camping sites tend to have more last-minute availability than frontcountry loops.
Private campgrounds in the Champlain area are listed through Camping Québec, the provincial association of campground operators, with a searchable directory by region and amenities. Most private operators take reservations directly by phone or through their own websites. For peak summer weekends, book three to eight weeks in advance, and confirm RV length limits and hookup type at the time of booking.
What to expect on the ground
Expect a French-first environment. Signage, campground staff, and printed materials are primarily in French, though most reception desks at larger resorts handle English bookings. Staff at Camping Cap A La Roche speak multiple languages, including English and French. Site power is standard North American: 30-amp is common at most parks, with 50-amp less common at smaller private campgrounds.
Roads in and around Champlain are paved and easy for any RV class, but some riverside campground access roads narrow near the entrance. Mosquitoes and blackflies are most active from late May through early July, especially near forested or wetland sites. Cell coverage is reliable along Route 138 and weaker inside La Mauricie. Grocery stores, fuel, propane refills, and dump stations are available in Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, Batiscan, and Trois-Rivières.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Champlain, QC
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Champlain, QC?
RV rental in Champlain, QC is affordable compared to renting in Montreal or Quebec City. Travel trailers typically average around CA$130 to CA$160 per night, while motorhomes generally run CA$200 to CA$275 per night, and many hosts offer weekly or monthly discounts. For a cheap RV rental in Champlain, QC, look at travel trailers booked midweek in late spring or early fall when demand drops. Pro tip: filter by Instant Book, sort by price, and message a host about flexible pickup dates. Champlain sits between Trois-Rivieres and Quebec City, so you get rural pricing with easy highway access via Autoroute 40.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Champlain%2C%20QuebecWhat kind of driver's license do I need to rent an RV in Champlain?
A regular Class 5 driver's license (or its equivalent from your home province, state, or country) is all you need to rent an RV in Champlain, QC. No special motorhome endorsement or commercial license is required for the Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, and travel trailers available on RVezy. Approved drivers must generally be at least 25 years old, and ID verification happens directly through the RVezy platform during booking. Visiting from outside Canada? An International Driving Permit paired with your home license keeps things simple at any roadside check. Most first-time renters are surprised how straightforward the paperwork is: you book, verify, and you're ready to roll along the St. Lawrence.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included when I rent an RV in Champlain, QC?
Every RV rental in Champlain, QC comes with an included protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the road with real peace of mind. The protection plan covers most damage to the vehicle during your trip, and you choose your level of coverage during checkout (not the host), letting you match protection to your comfort level. It provides meaningful financial protection if something unexpected happens between Champlain and your campsite. Pro tip: review the coverage tiers carefully before booking, then take a few walkaround photos at pickup. That five-minute habit at the host's driveway is the easiest way to keep your trip stress-free.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Champlain RV booking?
Booking an RV in Champlain is low-risk because RVezy sets the cancellation policy, not the individual host, and it's applied consistently across the platform. If plans change, RVezy's cancellation framework gives renters reasonable options depending on how far ahead of your trip you cancel and the circumstances involved. If your host cancels, you'll receive a refund or travel credit. Pro tip: book earlier rather than later for popular July and August dates in Mauricie. The best rigs go fast, and booking early gives you the widest selection and breathing room to plan.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Champlain, QC RV trip?
Pet-friendly RV rental in Champlain, QC is easy to find. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and you'll see motorhomes and trailers where dogs (and sometimes cats) are welcome. Many Mauricie hosts are pet owners themselves and happy to share tips for traveling with your furry copilot. Once you arrive, La Mauricie National Park allows leashed pets on most trails and at its campgrounds, and the riverfront paths in Champlain village are perfect for morning walks. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet fees and any rules about leaving pets unattended in the RV, most are flexible if you communicate early.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/qc/mauricieCan the RV be delivered to my campsite near Champlain?
Yes, RV delivery in Champlain is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-timers. Many hosts will drive the motorhome or trailer straight to your campsite at La Mauricie National Park, a private campground, or even a cottage rental along the St. Lawrence, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system. That means zero stress about towing a fifth wheel down Autoroute 40 or backing into a tight site. Delivery fees are set by each host and usually depend on distance and RV type. Pro tip: filter listings by Delivery, then ask the host for a quote to your exact campground, it's often the difference-maker for a smooth first trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Champlain%2C%20QuebecHow far can I drive on a typical Champlain RV rental?
You've got plenty of road ahead of you. Most motorhome rentals in Champlain include a daily mileage allowance set by the host, and many hosts offer RV rental with unlimited mileage as an add-on if you're planning a bigger loop. From Champlain you're roughly 20 minutes to Trois-Rivieres, about 1 hour 20 minutes to Quebec City, 1 hour 30 minutes to Montreal, and about 3 hours to La Malbaie in Charlevoix. Pro tip: if you're planning an RV road trip from Champlain to the Gaspe Peninsula or up to Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, ask your host upfront about an unlimited mileage package, it's almost always cheaper than paying per-kilometre overages.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Champlain%2C%20QuebecWhere are the best campgrounds near Champlain, QC?
You're spoiled for choice with great campgrounds near Champlain. The campgrounds inside La Mauricie National Park, including Riviere-a-la-Peche, Mistagance, and Wapizagonke, are the marquee spots, with shaded forested sites, services, and access to swimming lakes about 45 minutes north. Camping Rouillard in Saint-Tite is a family-friendly favourite with a pool and full hookups, ideal for RV camping in the Champlain area. Riverfront private campgrounds near Trois-Rivieres offer sites along the St. Lawrence. Pro tip: book La Mauricie sites the moment Parks Canada's reservation window opens in January, they sell out fast for July and August weekends.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/qc/mauricie/activ/campingWhen is the best time of year for a Champlain RV trip?
The sweet spot for a Champlain, QC RV trip is mid-May through mid-October, with peak conditions from late June to early September when daytime highs typically sit around 24 to 26°C (75 to 79°F). September is the local insider's pick: warm days, cool nights, fewer bugs, and the Mauricie maple forests turn brilliant red and gold by late September into early October. July and August are warmest and busiest, while May and October feel quieter and more affordable. Winter (December to March) often drops to -15 to -25°C with heavy snow, and most campgrounds close, though some four-season hosts still rent for ice fishing trips on Lac Saint-Pierre.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/index_e.htmlI've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay around Champlain?
You'll do great, and Champlain is a forgiving place for first time renting an RV. The roads around the village are flat, traffic is light, and Autoroute 40 to Quebec City or Montreal is a wide, well-maintained four-lane highway. Every RVezy host gives you a full orientation at pickup, walking you through driving the rig, dumping tanks, propane, and the awning, and you can text or call them throughout your trip. If city driving worries you, choose a Class B campervan or a smaller Class C motorhome under 25 feet, they handle much like a large van. Pro tip: do a 15-minute practice drive in a quiet area near pickup before heading out on the highway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/categories/360002180714-For-RentersWhat if something goes wrong on the road in Mauricie?
Help is one phone call away, day or night. Every RV rental in Champlain, QC includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, covering things like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing. Your host is also your second lifeline, most respond within minutes and can troubleshoot the quirks of their specific RV (slide-outs, generators, water pumps). If you break down on Autoroute 40 or a remote stretch near La Mauricie National Park, pull over safely, call roadside assistance, and stay with the rig. Pro tip: save the RVezy support number and your host's number in your phone before pickup so you're never digging through emails on the shoulder of a highway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Champlain RV rental into the US or other provinces?
Cross-border and inter-provincial RV trips from Champlain are often possible with host approval. Many hosts allow travel into Ontario, New Brunswick, the Maritimes, and across into the US (Vermont, New York, and New Hampshire are popular), but you'll need to confirm with the host before booking and check that the protection plan extends to your route. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not apply there. Popular routes for an RV road trip from Champlain include the Gaspe Peninsula loop, the Adirondacks via the Lacolle border crossing, and east to Cape Breton. Pro tip: message the host with your full route before booking so they can confirm in writing.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on a Champlain RV trip?
Fuel is the biggest variable cost, so plan smart. Quebec gasoline prices typically run between CA$1.50 and CA$1.80 per litre, and most Class C motorhomes get about 18 to 25 litres per 100 km, while Class B campervans do better at 11 to 14 litres per 100 km. For a four-day loop covering Champlain to Quebec City to La Mauricie and back (about 400 km), budget roughly CA$120 to CA$180 in fuel for a Class C. Travel trailers are towed by your own truck or a host-provided vehicle, so mileage depends on the tow rig. Pro tip: fuel up in Trois-Rivieres before heading into the park, prices in rural areas tend to climb.
natural-resources.canada.ca/energy-sources/fossil-fuels/pricing-transportation-fuels/fuel-pricesHow far in advance should I book a campground near Champlain?
Earlier is better, especially for July and August. La Mauricie National Park's campgrounds, including Riviere-a-la-Peche and Wapizagonke, open reservations through the Parks Canada Reservation Service in mid-January, and prime weekends fill within hours. SEPAQ-managed Quebec provincial parks follow a similar pattern through their Reserver.ca portal. Private campgrounds like Camping Rouillard usually open winter bookings and are more flexible, often available a few weeks out. Pro tip: if your dates are locked, book your campsite first, then book your RV rental in Champlain, QC, this avoids the heartbreak of finding the perfect rig but no place to park it.
reservation.pc.gc.ca/HomeWhat are the driving conditions like around Champlain?
Driving in and around Champlain is genuinely easy. The village sits along Chemin du Roy (Route 138), one of North America's oldest scenic roads, with calm two-lane sections perfect for getting comfortable in a motorhome. Autoroute 40 runs nearby for fast east-west travel. Watch for moose and deer at dawn and dusk on rural stretches north toward La Mauricie, and be aware that spring (April to May) brings potholes and occasional frost heaves until road crews patch them. Winter driving is for experienced RVers only, with winter tires legally required December 1 to March 15 in Quebec. Pro tip: check Quebec 511 for real-time road conditions and construction alerts before every drive.
quebec511.info/en/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Champlain?
Campgrounds near Champlain are well equipped for RV travellers. Most private parks like Camping Rouillard offer full hookups (water, 30 or 50 amp electric, sewer), Wi-Fi, laundry, hot showers, and dump stations. La Mauricie National Park's campgrounds offer a mix of serviced and unserviced sites, potable water fill stations, shared washroom buildings with showers, and dump stations within the park. Most campgrounds also have a small store for ice, firewood, and basics. Pro tip: top up freshwater and empty grey and black tanks before leaving the park, you don't want to drive home with full tanks.
parks.canada.ca/pn-np/qc/mauricie/activ/campingWhat equipment comes standard in a Champlain RV rental?
Expect a fully equipped home on wheels. Most motorhome rental in Champlain options include a queen or king bed, convertible dinette or bunk beds (Class C rigs often sleep 4 to 7), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, sink, and cookware, a wet or dry bathroom with toilet and shower, air conditioning, propane furnace, and seatbelted seating for travel. Many include a generator, outdoor awning, BBQ, and lawn chairs. Campervans (Class B) are more compact but still cover the essentials. Wi-Fi and TV depend on the host. Pro tip: check the listing's amenities list and message the host about specifics like a coffee maker, bedding package, or extra propane, small add-ons can transform your comfort level on a Champlain RV trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Champlain%2C%20QuebecWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Hosts offer a great selection of add-ons that make the trip easier. Common extras in Champlain include linen and towel packages, kitchen kits, outdoor furniture, fire pits, bike racks, BBQ propane, generators, and even kayak or paddleboard rentals. Pickup is usually at the host's home in or near Champlain, Batiscan, or Sainte-Anne-de-la-Perade, and many hosts offer delivery to your campground for a flat fee. Mileage policies vary, with daily allowances common and unlimited mileage available as an add-on for longer trips. Pro tip: confirm pickup time in writing and ask about a late-return grace period, especially if you're driving back from Quebec City on a Sunday evening when Autoroute 40 gets busy.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Champlain%2C%20QuebecHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is straightforward and handled entirely through the RVezy platform, no cash, no e-transfers, no surprises. You'll pay your rental cost (plus any add-ons, delivery, and your chosen protection plan) by credit card when you book. A refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card a few days before pickup and released after the trip, assuming the RV comes back in the same condition. Deposit amounts vary by RV type and value, and the deposit is separate from your booking payment. Pro tip: take dated photos and a quick walkaround video at both pickup and drop-off in the host's driveway. It's the single best habit for protecting your deposit, and most Champlain hosts will happily do the walkaround alongside you.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Champlain in winter or shoulder season?
Yes, and winter RV trips from Champlain are a hidden gem for adventurous travellers. Some hosts list four-season rigs with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, and proper insulation, ideal for ice fishing on Lac Saint-Pierre, snowmobiling in Mauricie, or visiting the Quebec Winter Carnival in early February. Temperatures can drop to -20°C or colder, so you'll want shore power at a winter-friendly campground or private property with a 30-amp plug. Shoulder seasons (April to early May, late October to November) are quieter and cheaper, with stunning fall colours peaking around the first week of October. Pro tip: filter for four-season RVs and message the host directly, they'll walk you through winterized water systems and propane planning.
