Camping near La Sarre, Quebec
La Sarre sits in the Abitibi-Ouest area of northwestern Quebec, surrounded by boreal forest, clay-belt farmland, and the lakes of the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region. RV travellers use the town as a base for exploring two distinct park systems on either side of the Ontario-Quebec border.
The closest established campground is Lac Matissard - Aiguebelle Provincial Park, operated by SÉPAQ inside Parc national d'Aiguebelle. The Abijévis sector sits on the shores of Lac Matissard, with a separate northern sector on Lac Loïs about 45 minutes from La Sarre. The park covers a large stretch of the Abijévis hills in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, with serviced and unserviced sites, ready-to-camp tents, cabins, and backcountry options.
Across the provincial border, Esker Lakes Provincial Park offers a second option for travellers willing to drive south into northeastern Ontario. It is a family-oriented park with small lakes for canoeing and fishing, trails for hiking, sandy beaches, and a full range of campground facilities. Together, the two parks cover serviced RV camping, paddle-in sites, and quiet boreal scenery within a few hours of town.
Things to do near La Sarre
Activity in the area centres on paddling, fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Paddle surfing is offered all summer on Lac Matissard and Lac Loïs inside Aiguebelle, and canoe rentals are available at the park service centres. The boreal interior is home to moose, beaver, black bear, lynx, river otter, and Ruffed Grouse, making early-morning and dusk outings productive for sightings. Aiguebelle is also recognised for the quality of its dark night skies and runs astronomy evenings from the Abijévis day-use area.
At Esker Lakes, the draw is water and trails. The park contains 29 glacial-formed lakes connected by short portages, with fishing for Lake Trout, Brook Trout, Rainbow Trout, Northern Pike, and Yellow Perch. An Annual Blueberry Festival is held in August. Both parks have swimming beaches, marked hiking trails, and dark skies suitable for stargazing.

The camping season in this part of the boreal north is short and weather-driven. Lac Matissard - Aiguebelle Provincial Park typically operates from mid-May to mid-October, with peak demand in July and early August. Esker Lakes Provincial Park operates from mid-May to late September, and outside that window most facilities close.
Spring brings ice-out on the lakes, muddy trails, and the start of black-fly and mosquito season. Bugs can be fierce in early summer, so packing plenty of repellent is recommended. Summer is the sweet spot for swimming, paddling, and serviced RV camping, with long daylight hours and warm afternoons. Early fall delivers cooler nights, fewer insects, and boreal colour through September.
Winter changes the picture entirely. Several rustic cabins at Aiguebelle remain accessible by car with full amenities for snowshoeing trips, but drive-in RV camping is not offered. Winter reservations at Esker Lakes are handled by contacting the park directly rather than through the online portal.
How to book
Reservations run through two different provincial systems. Sites at Lac Matissard - Aiguebelle Provincial Park are booked through SÉPAQ, the Société des établissements de plein air du Québec, which manages Quebec's national parks. Backcountry trips require a separate access permit, with details on the SÉPAQ reservation page.
Esker Lakes Provincial Park uses 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 at 705-272-7139. Drive-in sites are booked through the Ontario Parks reservation portal, while interior backcountry permits are obtained in person at the park office. Booking early is wise for July and August weekends.
What to expect on site
The Abijévis sector of Lac Matissard - Aiguebelle Provincial Park sits on the shores of Lac Matissard, about 30 minutes from Rouyn-Noranda, with a mix of serviced and unserviced sites, a sandy shoreline, a children's playground, a convenience store, and watercraft rental. About a dozen sites have water and electricity hookups, and the campground includes an open-air amphitheatre. A separate northern sector near Lac Loïs is unserviced and pedestrian-access.
At Esker Lakes, expect a quieter, northern-Ontario experience. There are 103 front-country sites, 39 non-serviced and 64 electrical, plus three group camping sites. Facilities include comfort stations and a trailer sanitation station. Cell coverage is limited at both parks, and supplies should be picked up in La Sarre, Rouyn-Noranda, or Kirkland Lake before arrival.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near La Sarre, QC
How much does it cost to rent an RV in La Sarre, QC?
An RV rental in La Sarre is one of the most affordable ways to explore Quebec's Abitibi-Témiscamingue region. On RVezy, travel trailers near La Sarre typically average around $130-$170 CAD per night, while motorhomes generally run about $200-$275 CAD per night, with many hosts offering weekly or monthly discounts. To find a cheap RV rental in La Sarre, aim for shoulder months like June or September when demand drops but the weather stays comfortable. Tip: filter by Instant Book and message a few hosts to lock in the best rate for your dates. With camping fees at nearby parks running roughly $30-$60 per night, a family week out can stay well under typical hotel costs.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=La%20Sarre%2C%20QuebecWhat licence do I need to rent an RV in La Sarre, Quebec?
Great news for first-time renters: your regular Class 5 Quebec driver's licence (or equivalent from your home province, state, or country) is all you need to rent an RV in La Sarre. No special motorhome endorsement or commercial licence is required for any of the Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, or travel trailers listed on RVezy. You'll need to be at least 25 years old, and you'll confirm your ID securely through the RVezy platform when you book. Visiting from overseas? Pick up an International Driving Permit from your home auto club before you fly into Rouyn-Noranda or drive up via Route 117, and you're ready to roll into Abitibi country.
saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/driver-licenceIs RV rental in La Sarre protected if something goes wrong?
Yes. Every RV rental in La Sarre booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit Route 393 with real peace of mind. You choose your level of coverage during checkout (not the host), and the plan provides meaningful financial protection if a tire blows out near Macamic or a rock chips the windshield on a backroad to Lake Abitibi. Tip: review the coverage tiers carefully at checkout and pick the level that matches how adventurous your route looks.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my La Sarre RV trip?
Booking an RV in La Sarre is lower-risk than most people expect. RVezy (not individual hosts) sets the cancellation policy, and there is a short money-back grace period right after you reserve so you can double-check dates, route, and the weather forecast for Abitibi-Ouest before fully committing. Depending on how far ahead of your trip you cancel, you may still be eligible for partial or full refunds under the standard RVezy policy. Tip: book earlier rather than later for July and August. Northern Quebec summer dates fill fast, and the earlier window gives you the most flexibility.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a La Sarre RV rental?
Absolutely. Pet-friendly RV rental in La Sarre is easy to find on RVezy. Just flip on the Pet-Friendly filter when you search and you'll see every host who welcomes furry co-pilots. Many owners in Abitibi-Témiscamingue are dog lovers themselves and only ask for a quick heads-up about size and breed when you book. Once you're on the road, your pup will love the wide-open trails at Parc national d'Aiguebelle (leashed dogs are allowed on most trails) and the lakefront walks at Halte du Lac La Sarre. Pro tip: pack a long tie-out line and a collapsible water bowl. Abitibi summers are warm and you'll want easy outdoor lounging at the campsite.
sepaq.com/pq/aig/Can the RV be delivered to me in La Sarre?
Yes, RV delivery in La Sarre is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it's the easiest way to start your trip stress-free. Many local hosts will drive the RV directly to your campsite at Parc national d'Aiguebelle, your driveway in La Sarre, or a lake-access spot off Route 393, then level it, hook up services, and walk you through every system before they leave. To find delivery-ready listings, use the Delivery filter on RVezy and message the host with your exact drop-off address. Tip: delivery is a game-changer if it's your first time renting an RV. You'll skip the learning curve of towing and arrive to a fully set-up campsite.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008794-Delivery-options-explainedHow far can I drive on a La Sarre RV trip?
You can cover a lot of ground on a La Sarre RV trip, and some hosts even offer RV rental with unlimited mileage so you can roam freely. From La Sarre, Rouyn-Noranda is about 145 km south via Route 393 and Route 117, Amos sits about 95 km east, Val-d'Or is roughly 240 km southeast, and the Ontario border west of town is a short drive away. Each host sets their own daily kilometre allowance and overage rate, both shown clearly on the listing page. Tip: estimate your full route before booking. If you're planning a longer loop toward Mont-Tremblant or Montreal (roughly 650-720 km one way), an unlimited-mileage listing will almost always save you money.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=La%20Sarre%2C%20QuebecWhere are the best campgrounds near La Sarre, QC?
The best campgrounds near La Sarre put you right in the heart of Abitibi's lakes and boreal forest. Parc national d'Aiguebelle (about 90 minutes south) is the regional star, with serviced RV sites and stunning suspension-bridge hikes. Camping Lac Pelletier in nearby Macamic offers lakeside sites with electricity. Halte du Lac La Sarre right in town is convenient for an overnight stop with lake views. A bit further afield, Esker Lakes Provincial Park (just across the Ontario border) offers crystal-clear swimming lakes. Tip: reserve Aiguebelle sites through Sépaq's online system as soon as the reservation window opens in the spring. Waterfront RV sites in July and August book out fast.
sepaq.com/pq/aig/When is the best time for RV camping in La Sarre?
The sweet spot for RV camping in La Sarre is mid-June through early September, when daytime highs climb into the comfortable 20-25°C range and the lakes are warm enough to swim. July is the peak summer month, with long daylight stretching past 9 p.m. and the famous Foire Gourmande filling nearby Ville-Marie with local food and music. September brings spectacular fall colours across the boreal forest and far fewer mosquitoes, making it a quietly perfect time for a La Sarre RV trip. Pro tip: avoid the brief but intense black-fly window in late May to early June, and you'll have one of Canada's most underrated camping regions almost to yourself.
climate.weather.gc.ca/Can I rent an RV in La Sarre in the winter?
Yes, winter RV rental in La Sarre is available through select RVezy hosts, and it can be a magical way to experience Abitibi snowmobiling country, ice fishing on Lac Abitibi, and the northern lights when conditions align. Look specifically for listings that mention four-season insulation, heated holding tanks, a furnace, and shore-power hookups, since January temperatures here regularly dip to -25°C or colder. Message the host before booking to confirm winter readiness and ask about included extras like a heated water hose or skirting. Pro tip: pair your winter rental with a stay at a serviced site that offers 30-amp or 50-amp power so your furnace can run all night without draining the house battery.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be okay in La Sarre?
You'll be more than okay. First time renting an RV in La Sarre is genuinely easy because traffic is light, roads like Route 111 and Route 393 are wide and well-maintained, and most local hosts spend 30-60 minutes walking you through every system at pickup: propane, water, slide-outs, dump valves, and the generator. You can also message your host anytime during the trip with questions, and RVezy's 24/7 support is one tap away. Pro tip: pick a smaller Class C motorhome or a 22-foot travel trailer for your first booking. They handle just like a big pickup, fit easily into sites at Parc national d'Aiguebelle, and take the stress out of backing in.
saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/road-safetyWhat happens if the RV breaks down during my trip?
You're covered. Every RV rental in La Sarre on RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection package, so if you get a flat on the way to Amos or the fridge stops cooling at a campsite near Aiguebelle, help is one phone call away. The roadside team can dispatch a tow, tire change, battery boost, lockout service, or fuel delivery anywhere you can drive in Quebec. Your host is also just a message away through the RVezy app for quick troubleshooting (these are real owners who know their RV inside and out). Pro tip: save the roadside number in your phone before you leave town. Cell service can be spotty on backroads north of La Sarre, so screenshot it too.
quebec511.info/en/Can I take my La Sarre RV rental across the border or out of province?
Yes, many RVezy hosts in La Sarre allow trips into neighbouring Ontario or down to southern Quebec, which is convenient because the Ontario border is a short drive west of town. Popular routes include Lake Abitibi loops, the Cochrane area in northern Ontario, and the longer drive south to Mont-Tremblant or Ottawa. Message the host before booking to confirm out-of-province travel is permitted and that your protection plan covers your route. One important note: travel to Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals due to insurance limitations. Tip: if you're planning a cross-border RV road trip from La Sarre into the United States, bring your passport. For interprovincial travel within Canada, a valid driver's licence is sufficient.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat's the fuel budget for a motorhome rental in La Sarre?
Fuel is very manageable on a motorhome rental in La Sarre, especially because distances between attractions are short for northern Quebec. Most Class C motorhomes get around 18-22 L/100 km, Class B campervans average 12-15 L/100 km, and travel trailers add roughly 30% to your tow vehicle's normal consumption. Gas prices in La Sarre tend to sit a few cents above the Quebec provincial average, so it's worth filling up in Rouyn-Noranda or Amos when you pass through. Pro tip: drive at 90 km/h instead of 110 km/h on Route 111 and you can shave 15-20% off your fuel bill. The scenery of farms, lakes, and boreal forest is more enjoyable at the slower pace anyway.
rncan.gc.ca/energy/fuel-prices/4593How far ahead should I book a campground near La Sarre?
For peak July and August weekends, reserve campsites near La Sarre about 2-3 months ahead, especially at Parc national d'Aiguebelle, which fills up fast through the Sépaq reservation system (sites typically open for booking in early spring). For weekday stays, midweek nights, or shoulder-season trips in June and September, you can often find space just a week or two out. Municipal campgrounds like Camping Lac Pelletier in Macamic and Halte du Lac La Sarre also take direct phone reservations. Pro tip: build your route around your campsite reservations rather than the other way around. Securing a waterfront RV site at Aiguebelle's Lac Matissard sector is worth shaping your whole La Sarre RV trip around.
sepaq.com/reservation/What are driving conditions like in and around La Sarre?
Driving an RV in La Sarre is refreshingly straightforward. The main routes (Route 111, Route 393, and Route 117 connecting to Rouyn-Noranda) are paved two-lane highways with low traffic, wide shoulders, and easy sight lines, perfect for first-time motorhome drivers. Watch for moose at dawn and dusk (the Abitibi region has one of Quebec's highest moose populations), occasional logging trucks on side roads, and frost heaves in early spring. Winter brings real snow and ice from November through March, so most leisure travellers stick to May through October. Pro tip: check Québec 511 before you set out each morning. It shows live road closures, construction, and weather alerts for every kilometre of your route.
quebec511.info/en/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near La Sarre?
Campgrounds near La Sarre offer a surprisingly full range of amenities for such a wild-feeling region. Parc national d'Aiguebelle has serviced sites with 30-amp electricity, potable water fill stations, a dump station, flush toilets, hot showers, and firewood for sale. Municipal options like Camping Lac Pelletier in Macamic provide electrical hookups, picnic tables, and lake access. Most private campgrounds in Abitibi-Ouest include Wi-Fi near the office, a small store, and laundry. Pro tip: top up fresh water and dump your tanks before leaving any serviced campground. Backcountry sites and Crown land spots north of La Sarre are stunning but offer no hookups, so arriving with full fresh water and empty grey/black tanks makes boondocking a breeze.
sepaq.com/pq/aig/services.dotWhat's typically included inside an RV rental in La Sarre?
Most RV rentals in La Sarre come fully equipped so you can pull up to your campsite and start relaxing. Expect a real bed (often a queen), a kitchen with fridge, propane stove, microwave, sink and basic cookware, an indoor bathroom with toilet and shower, a dinette that converts to extra sleeping space, a furnace, air conditioning, and seatbelted seating for everyone travelling. Many campervan rental La Sarre listings also include solar panels, an inverter, and Bluetooth speakers, while larger Class C motorhomes often add a generator, outdoor speakers, and a TV. Pro tip: each listing on RVezy has a complete amenities checklist. Filter by must-haves like generator, pet-friendly, or sleeps 6 to find your perfect match faster.
rvezy.com/What add-ons and pickup options can I expect for a La Sarre RV rental?
Lots of helpful extras are available to customize your motorhome rental La Sarre experience. Common add-ons include linen and towel packages, camp chairs, BBQ grills, kayaks or bikes, generator hours, extra propane, and pre-stocked kitchen kits, each priced individually by the host on the listing page. For pickup, you can either grab the RV at the host's address (often right in La Sarre or nearby Macamic, Authier, or Palmarolle) or pay a flat delivery fee to have it set up at your campsite. Mileage policies vary: some hosts include 100-200 km per night, others offer truly unlimited kilometres. Pro tip: bundle your add-ons in one message to the host before booking. Many will discount the package if you ask politely.
tourisme-abitibi-temiscamingue.org/en/How does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment for your RV rental in La Sarre is handled entirely through the secure RVezy platform, so you never send cash or e-transfers to the host. You pay your booking total by credit card when you reserve, and a refundable security deposit is pre-authorized (not charged) on your card shortly before pickup. As long as the RV comes back in the same condition, within the agreed mileage and clean inside, the hold is released after your trip. To avoid issues, do a quick walkaround video with the host at both pickup and drop-off, refuel to the same level you started with, and empty the tanks if your agreement requires it. Tip: use a credit card with a generous limit, since the pre-authorization can tie up funds for a few days after your trip ends.
