Camping near Duparquet, Quebec
Duparquet sits on the western edge of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, on the shore of Lac Duparquet, roughly 50 kilometres northwest of Rouyn-Noranda. The town serves as a quiet base for RV travellers exploring the Abitibi Clay Belt and the lake-and-forest country that runs from western Quebec into northeastern Ontario.
The closest developed campground is Lac Matissard - Aiguebelle Provincial Park, in the Mont-Brun sector of Parc national d'Aiguebelle. Camping Abijévis sits on the shore of Lac Matissard, about 30 minutes from Rouyn-Noranda, and offers a mix of serviced and semi-serviced sites along with ready-to-camp units, a convenience store, a laundromat and a community hall. Across the provincial border in northeastern Ontario, Esker Lakes Provincial Park provides a second option: a Natural Environment class park northeast of Kirkland Lake with a developed campground, electrical and non-electrical sites, comfort stations with showers, and a chain of small glacial lakes linked by short portages.
Things to do near Duparquet
At Lac Matissard - Aiguebelle Provincial Park, the main draws are paddling on Lac Matissard and Lac Loïs, swimming at the beach, and hiking trails through the Abijévis hills. Canoes, kayaks and pedal-boats are available for rent on site, and a program of guided discovery activities runs through the warm season. Anglers can fish the park's clear lakes for species typical of the Boreal Shield, including walleye and northern pike.
At Esker Lakes Provincial Park, visitors paddle a chain of 29 esker lakes, hike short trails such as Lonesome Bog, Prospector's and Trapper's, and fish for lake trout, brook trout, northern pike and yellow perch. The park also hosts an annual Blueberry Festival in August.

The camping window in this part of western Quebec and northeastern Ontario is short. Esker Lakes Provincial Park typically operates from mid-May through late September, with the main car-camping season running through that window; outside those dates many facilities close and winter weather can limit access. Parc national d'Aiguebelle's Camping Abijévis on Lac Matissard runs from mid-May to mid-October, while the park itself stays open year-round, with cabins accessible by car or by ski and snowshoe in the colder months.
July and August deliver the warmest, driest camping weather and the busiest sites. Late May and early June bring leaf-out, paddling and noticeably fewer crowds, but also peak black-fly and mosquito activity in the boreal forest. September cools quickly and is a strong choice for fall colour, fishing and quieter campgrounds, with the first frosts arriving by month's end.
How to book campgrounds near Duparquet
Lac Matissard - Aiguebelle Provincial Park is operated by Sépaq, Quebec's provincial park agency. Campsites, cabins and ready-to-camp units are reserved through sepaq.com or by phone, and summer weekends in the Mont-Brun sector book out well in advance. A daily park access fee applies in addition to the site fee.
Esker Lakes Provincial Park uses the Ontario Parks reservation system. Campsite-specific reservations open up to five months ahead of the arrival date and can be made online or by phone; the park uses paperless permits, with a check-in email sent on the morning of arrival. Backcountry permits for the interior sites are obtained in person at the park office during business hours, and winter reservations are arranged by contacting the park directly.
What to expect on the ground
Both parks are classic Boreal Shield country: spruce, jack pine and birch forest, clear cold lakes, exposed bedrock and plenty of wetland. Cell service is limited or absent inside park boundaries, so RV renters should download maps, reservation confirmations and park information before leaving Rouyn-Noranda or Kirkland Lake.
At Camping Abijévis on Lac Matissard, sites come in serviced and semi-serviced layouts; the Ojibway sector on Lac Loïs is the dog-friendly campground within Aiguebelle. At Esker Lakes, more than half the sites are electrical, the RV length limit is around 32 feet (10 m), and a trailer sanitation station is available. Bug pressure is high in early summer, and bear-aware food storage is expected throughout the region.
