La Bostonnais camping overview
La Bostonnais is a small municipality in Quebec's Haute-Mauricie region, set along Route 155 about fifteen minutes north of La Tuque and roughly an hour and a half from Trois-Rivières. The area sits in the Saint-Maurice River valley and serves as a practical base for RV travellers exploring the surrounding boreal forest, lakes, and wildlife reserves. Camping options nearby span a large municipal park on the Bostonnais River with full RV services, and rustic to semi-serviced sites inside three Sépaq-managed wildlife reserves: Saint-Maurice, Mastigouche, and Portneuf. Activities centre on fishing, paddling, hiking to waterfalls, ATV touring, and observing wildlife such as moose, white-tailed deer, loons, and bald eagles. The road network is straightforward, with Route 155 acting as the main corridor between Trois-Rivières and Lac-Saint-Jean. Cell coverage thins quickly once campers leave the highway corridor, and most reserve campgrounds operate on a seasonal summer schedule only.
Things to do near La Bostonnais
Fishing is the headline activity across the surrounding wildlife reserves, with brook trout, lake trout, Arctic char, and splake in Portneuf, and managed trout lakes in Saint-Maurice. Paddlers can rent canoes, kayaks, rowboats, and stand-up paddleboards at Lac Normand and Lac Tousignant, and follow a 22-kilometre lake-to-lake canoe-camping circuit linking Lac Tousignant and Lac Soucis. Hikers reach Dunbar Falls from the Lac Dunbar parking area and explore the Tourbière and Grande Ourse trails near Lac Normand. Families gather at the sandy beach and playground at Lac Normand, while ATV and motorcycle riders use the extensive trail network around La Tuque. The Parc des Chutes de la Petite Rivière Bostonnais is a short drive from town.

The camping season in this part of Quebec is short and concentrated on summer. La Tuque Municipal Campground typically operates from early May to early October. The Sépaq wildlife reserve campgrounds run a tighter calendar: Lac Normand and Lac Dunbar in Réserve faunique du Saint-Maurice open in mid-May and close in early September, while Lac Bellevue in Réserve faunique de Portneuf opens around mid-June and closes in early September. Mastigouche Reserve follows a similar summer-only pattern for its drive-in sites at Lac aux Sables. July and August are the busiest months, with weekends often booked weeks in advance, particularly for serviced and ready-to-camp sites. Black fly and mosquito pressure peaks from late May through June. Fall brings cool nights, fewer bugs, and strong foliage colour through late September, but most reserve sites have already closed by then. Winter access shifts to cabins, ice fishing, and snowmobiling rather than RV camping.
Booking and reservations
Sépaq manages reservations for the four nearby wildlife reserve campgrounds: Lac Bellevue in Réserve faunique de Portneuf, Lac aux Sables in Réserve faunique Mastigouche, and Lac Dunbar and Lac Normand in Réserve faunique du Saint-Maurice. Bookings for the summer season in wildlife reserve campgrounds typically open in late April of the previous year through sepaq.com or by phone at 1-800-665-6527. Popular waterfront and serviced sites can sell out within hours of the opening. La Tuque Municipal Campground is a private operator and is booked directly through its own website or by telephone, not through Sépaq. Reservations are strongly recommended for any summer weekend, and a credit card is required to hold a site.
What to expect at area campgrounds
La Tuque Municipal Campground is the largest option, with several hundred sites along the Bostonnais and Saint-Maurice rivers, two- and three-service hookups, a dump station, heated pools, water games, a beach, tennis courts, and boat rentals. The Sépaq campgrounds are more rustic: Lac Normand offers about 64 sites including ready-to-camp units, some with one service (water), plus a dump station, sanitary block with showers, and drinking water. Lac Dunbar is smaller, with around a dozen unserviced sites and rental cabins. Lac Bellevue offers unserviced sites and ready-to-camp tents on a sandy shore with a shower block. Roads into the reserves are gravel forestry roads, so cautious driving and full fuel tanks are recommended.
