Campgrounds near Dupuy, Quebec
Dupuy is a small municipality in the Abitibi-Ouest region of northwestern Quebec, surrounded by boreal forest, clay-belt farmland, and dozens of glacial lakes. The village itself has limited tourism infrastructure, so most RV travellers base trips around the provincial parks that lie within an hour or two south and west.
The closest established campground inside a protected area is Lac Matissard - Aiguebelle Provincial Park, set in the southern sector of Parc national d'Aiguebelle and operated by Sépaq on the shores of Lac Matissard. Across the Ontario border, Esker Lakes Provincial Park northeast of Kirkland Lake offers a second option with drive-in sites and a connected chain of small kettle lakes. Both parks sit on the boreal Canadian Shield and share similar terrain: spruce and birch forest, sandy beaches, and short hiking and canoe portage networks. La Sarre, about 30 minutes south of Dupuy, is the nearest town for fuel, groceries, propane, and RV supplies before heading into either park.
Things to do near Dupuy
Paddling is the headline activity in this region. Esker Lakes Provincial Park contains 29 glacial-formed kettle lakes, many connected by short portages over the eskers, with fishing for Lake Trout, Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, Northern Pike, and Yellow Perch. Canoes can launch from several locations. At Aiguebelle, paddle surfing is offered all summer on Matissard and Loïs lakes, and guided canoe outings cross the continental watershed line that gives the Abitibi region its name. Hiking trails range from short boardwalk loops to the park's famous suspension bridge over a fault canyon. The Esker Lakes area is surrounded by boreal forest and offers plenty of bird-watching opportunities, and the park hosts an annual Blueberry Festival in August. Wildlife viewing for moose, beaver, and black bear is common in both parks.

The camping season in this part of the boreal north is short and tightly defined. Esker Lakes Provincial Park operates from roughly mid-May to late September, with the front-country campground closed outside those dates. The best time to visit is between mid-May and mid-September, when the park is fully operational; outside of those dates, some facilities are closed and winter weather limits access.
Aiguebelle's Camping Abijévis on Lac Matissard typically runs from mid-May to mid-October, while cabins remain accessible in winter via ski or snowshoe. The park entrance at Mont-Brun is open year round, and the Discovery and Interpretation Centre becomes a winter rest area for snowshoers.
June brings heavy blackfly and mosquito pressure. Visiting in spring or fall means fewer crowds, but bugs can be fierce in early summer, so pack plenty of repellent. July and August are the peak booking window. Early fall delivers strong colour change and the best mix of cool nights and accessible facilities.
How to book a campsite
The two nearest parks use different reservation systems. For Aiguebelle and its Lac Matissard sites, bookings go through Sépaq, the Quebec provincial park agency. Reservations can be made online or by phone, and serviced sites at Camping Abijévis as well as the unserviced Ojibway pedestrian campground near Lac Loïs are inventoried separately. Ready-to-camp Huttopia tents are also available for travellers without their own gear.
For Esker Lakes, reservations run through the Ontario Parks system. Campsite-specific reservations are available online or by phone up to five months in advance of the arrival date, and winter reservations are handled by contacting the park directly. Drive-in sites are booked through the Ontario Parks reservation system, while backcountry permits are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
What to expect on arrival
Expect remote, low-density camping. Cell coverage is patchy off the main highways, and the closest full-service town is La Sarre. Fill up on gas and supplies before heading to the parks, as amenities are limited once you arrive.
Esker Lakes has a mix of site types. There are 103 front-country sites, with 39 non-serviced and 64 electrical sites, plus three group camping areas. A trailer sanitation station is on site, though comfort stations are older.
At Aiguebelle, Camping Abijévis sits on the shores of Lac Matissard with serviced and unserviced sites, a children's playground, sandy shoreline, watercraft rental, hiking trails, and a convenience store. Dogs are not permitted at Camping Abijévis, but the Ojibway-Barlow campground near Lac Loïs is dog-friendly. Bring drinking water, bug protection, and bear-safe food storage.
