Camping near Rivière-Rouge, Quebec
Rivière-Rouge sits in the Laurentians along the Rouge River, roughly 180 km north of Montréal and a short drive from Mont-Tremblant. The town works well as a base for RV travellers because it pairs serviced private campgrounds with quick access to two large Sépaq-managed wildlife reserves: Rouge-Matawin to the east and Papineau-Labelle to the south.
Near the village of Labelle, Camping Chutes aux Iroquois offers riverside sites close to a set of waterfalls on the Rouge River. Camping La Montagne Dargent and Camping Parc La Conception extend the choice of RV options in the surrounding municipalities. For travellers who want quieter, backcountry-style camping, Lac des Sucreries in the Rouge-Matawin Reserve and Lac Joinville in the Papineau-Labelle Reserve put sites on lake edges surrounded by Crown forest. The mix lets families combine hookups and amenities with day trips into protected wilderness.
Things to do around Rivière-Rouge
The Rouge River draws paddlers, tubers, and rafters, with calm stretches near town and whitewater sections farther south. Cyclists ride Le P'tit Train du Nord, a 200 km rail-trail between Saint-Jérôme and Mont-Laurier that passes through Rivière-Rouge and follows the river through the area. Anglers head into the Rouge-Matawin Reserve, where Sépaq manages access to a large network of lakes stocked with brook trout. The Papineau-Labelle Reserve, reached via Lac Joinville, adds canoe-camping circuits and quiet forest roads where moose are often seen. Hikers can drive south to Parc national du Mont-Tremblant for summit trails and waterfalls. Closer in, the Chutes aux Iroquois waterfalls are an easy family stop, and the local network of gravel roads is popular for ATV and snowmobile touring in season.

The RV season in the Laurentians is concentrated between mid-May and mid-October. Sépaq typically opens the Rouge-Matawin and Papineau-Labelle reserves in mid-May, so Lac des Sucreries and Lac Joinville follow that window. Private campgrounds near town may open slightly earlier and can extend into Thanksgiving weekend if weather holds.
July and August are peak months. Sites at Camping Chutes aux Iroquois, Camping La Montagne Dargent, and Camping Parc La Conception fill quickly on weekends, and Sépaq vacation lakes are usually fully reserved well in advance. Late spring brings warm days but also black flies and mosquitoes in the wildlife reserves. September is quieter, with cool nights, fewer bugs, and strong fall colour through late September into early October. Hunting seasons run through autumn in the reserves, which can affect site availability and access. Winter access is limited to snowmobile and ice-fishing use; most RV campgrounds close once freezing temperatures set in.

How to book a campsite
Private campgrounds around Rivière-Rouge, including Camping Chutes aux Iroquois, Camping La Montagne Dargent, and Camping Parc La Conception, take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Booking a few weeks ahead is usually enough outside of long weekends; for July and August, book earlier.
Sites inside the wildlife reserves are managed by Sépaq. Reservations for Lac des Sucreries in the Rouge-Matawin Reserve and Lac Joinville in the Papineau-Labelle Reserve are made online at sepaq.com or by phone. Sépaq opens camping reservations for its wildlife reserves in the spring for the following summer season, and popular lakes are claimed quickly once the window opens. On arrival at a Sépaq reserve, travellers register at a gatehouse such as the Saint-Michel-des-Saints registration centre before continuing to their site.
What to expect on arrival
Private campgrounds in the Rivière-Rouge area generally offer a mix of full, partial, and unserviced sites, with showers, dump stations, and a small store. Roads in are paved or well-graded gravel and suitable for larger Class A and Class C rigs.
Sépaq reserve sites are more rustic. Access to Lac des Sucreries and Lac Joinville is by long gravel forest roads that can be rough, dusty, and shared with logging trucks. Cell service is unreliable once off Route 117, so download maps in advance. Sites at reserve lakes are typically large, treed, and without hookups; potable water taps and pit or vault toilets are the norm. Wildlife including moose, black bear, and loons is common, and bear-aware food storage is expected. Firewood is sold on site and should not be brought in from outside the region.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Rivière-Rouge, QC
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Rivière-Rouge?
Great news, RV rental in Rivière-Rouge is more affordable than you might expect for a Laurentians getaway. On RVezy, towable trailers in the area average around $120 CAD per night, while motorhomes typically run about $200 CAD per night, with most hosts offering 10 to 20 percent off for weekly or monthly bookings. Booking shoulder-season trips in late May, early June, or September can drop prices noticeably compared to peak July and August weekends near Mont-Tremblant. For a cheap RV rental in Rivière-Rouge, filter by travel trailer, look for hosts who include kilometres in the daily rate, and book mid-week stays. Insider tip: weekday rentals around Lac Tibériade and Lac Tapani fill up much later than weekends, so flexibility saves you serious money.
laurentides.com/en/members/ville-de-riviere-rougeWhat licence do I need to rent an RV in Rivière-Rouge, Quebec?
Good news for first-timers: a standard Class 5 Quebec driver's licence (or your home province or country equivalent) is all you need to rent an RV in Rivière-Rouge. No special motorhome endorsement or commercial licence is required for any RV available on RVezy, including Class A, Class C, and fifth wheels. You must be 25 or older to book, and RVezy verifies your ID directly through the platform before pickup, so there's no awkward paperwork at the host's door. Visiting from outside Canada? Bring your home driver's licence plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) if your licence isn't in English or French. With ID confirmed, you're cleared to roll out toward the Rouge River valley.
saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/drivers-licences/obtain-licence/passenger-vehicle-class-5Is my RV rental in Rivière-Rouge protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every RV rental in Rivière-Rouge booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can head into the Laurentians with real peace of mind. You choose your protection level at checkout (not the host), letting you match the plan to your comfort and budget. While it isn't traditional auto insurance, it's designed to give renters meaningful financial protection against the unexpected, from a cracked windshield on Route 117 to a flat tire near Parc régional Kiamika. If anything goes sideways, one call to RVezy support gets you help. Lock in your preferred coverage at booking so you can focus on rapids, lakes, and campfires.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Rivière-Rouge RV trip?
Booking an RV trip in Rivière-Rouge is lower risk than it looks. RVezy sets the cancellation policy at the platform level (not the host), and most bookings include a short grace period after booking during which you can cancel for a full refund, which is helpful when Laurentians weather forecasts shift. After that window, your refund depends on how far in advance of your trip start you cancel. Because the policy is handled platform-wide, you won't see different rules on individual listings. Pro tip: book early to lock in the best rigs around Lac Tibériade, and review the current cancellation terms in the RVezy Help Center before you confirm.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Rivière-Rouge RV rental?
Absolutely, Rivière-Rouge is a wonderful place to travel with dogs, and plenty of hosts offer a pet-friendly RV rental in Rivière-Rouge. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see eligible listings, then message the host to confirm any size or breed preferences and pet fees before you book. Once you're here, your pup will enjoy leashed walks along the P'tit Train du Nord linear park, dog-welcoming campgrounds like Camping de la Plage, and leashed trails at Parc régional Kiamika. Bring a tie-out, a collapsible water bowl, and a towel for muddy paws after riverside swims, and your four-legged co-pilot is set for the Laurentians.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Riviere-Rouge%2C+QuebecCan the RV be delivered to my campground in Rivière-Rouge?
Yes, and it's one of the smartest ways to do an RV trip if you've never towed before. Many hosts offer RV delivery in Rivière-Rouge, meaning they'll drive the rig to your campsite at Camping de la Plage, Centre touristique du Lac-Simon, or a cottage driveway near Sainte-Véronique, then set up the levellers, hookups, and awning, and walk you through every system before they leave. Delivery fees are set by the host and typically scale with distance. To find delivery-ready listings, toggle the Delivery filter when searching, then message the host with your exact campground address so they can confirm the quote. It's the easiest way to start a motorhome rental in Rivière-Rouge stress-free.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Riviere-Rouge%2C+QuebecHow far can I drive on my RV rental, and where are popular trips from Rivière-Rouge?
You've got plenty of range for a great Rivière-Rouge RV trip. Most hosts on RVezy include a daily kilometre allowance (commonly 100 to 200 km per day), and some listings offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, which is ideal for a bigger loop. From town, Mont-Tremblant National Park is about 45 km south (under an hour), Parc régional Kiamika is roughly 40 km north, Mont-Laurier is about 60 km north along Route 117, Ottawa is around 230 km southwest (about 2.5 hours), and Montreal sits about 250 km south (around 3 hours). Pro tip: filter for unlimited-kilometre listings if you plan to chain Tremblant, Kiamika, and a Gatineau Park detour into one trip.
sepaq.com/pq/mot/Where are the best campgrounds near Rivière-Rouge?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to RV camping in Rivière-Rouge. Top picks include Camping de la Plage right on the Rouge River with a sandy beach and canoe rentals; Centre touristique du Lac-Simon (a SEPAQ park) about 50 km southwest with serviced sites and a long sandy beach; Parc régional Kiamika 40 km north for rugged lake-and-island camping; and Camping Labelle et la Rouge just down Route 117 for easy access to whitewater rafting. Basic sites in the area generally range about $30 to $50 per night, with full-service sites around $55 to $90. Pro tip: book riverfront sites at Camping de la Plage well in advance, they're the first to disappear each spring.
sepaq.com/ct/lsi/When is the best time to visit Rivière-Rouge in an RV?
Late June through mid-September is the sweet spot for a Rivière-Rouge RV trip, with daytime highs of 22 to 26°C (72 to 79°F) and warm enough evenings to enjoy a campfire by the river. July and August are peak for whitewater rafting on the Rouge and lake swimming at Lac Tibériade. September delivers the legendary Laurentian fall colours (usually peaking late September to early October) with fewer bugs and lower campground rates. October nights drop near freezing, and most campgrounds close by Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. Insider tip: target the third week of September for that magical combination of fiery maples, crisp air, open campgrounds, and shoulder-season pricing on your campervan rental Rivière-Rouge.

Yes, winter RV rental in Rivière-Rouge is absolutely possible, and some hosts specifically equip their rigs for snowy Laurentian getaways with heated holding tanks, skirting, and propane furnaces. It's a magical way to combine skiing at Mont-Tremblant or Mont Blanc with cozy nights in a warm rig. Just message the host before booking to confirm the unit is winterized, and look for campgrounds open year-round, such as a few private parks along Route 117. Most public campgrounds in the area close mid-October to mid-May. Insider tip: ask the host about shore power requirements and propane refill spots in town, then plan winter driving around storms (check Quebec 511 before departure) and you've got a genuinely unique winter adventure.
quebec511.info/en/I've never rented an RV before. Is Rivière-Rouge a good place to start?
Rivière-Rouge is genuinely one of the friendliest places in Quebec for first time renting an RV. Roads here are quieter than Montreal traffic, campgrounds are well marked, and most hosts on RVezy give a full pickup orientation covering propane, water, electrical, generator, awning, and dump procedures. You can message the host before booking with any nervous question, and many will send a quick video walkthrough in advance. Choose a smaller Class C motorhome or travel trailer for your first trip, and consider delivery so the host parks and levels the rig for you at a spot like Camping Labelle et la Rouge. Pro tip: start with two nights at one campground before any longer family RV trip Rivière-Rouge loop.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat if I have a breakdown or issue on the road?
You're never alone out there. Every RV rental in Rivière-Rouge booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, covering common issues like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing to the nearest qualified service. Cell coverage is solid along Route 117 and through Mont-Tremblant National Park, with a few dead zones in the deeper Kiamika back-country (download offline Google Maps before heading out). If something happens, call the roadside number first, then message your host. RVezy support is reachable around the clock. Insider tip: record a quick walkaround video of the RV at pickup with the host present so any pre-existing scuffs are documented before you leave the driveway.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Rivière-Rouge RV rental across the border into Ontario or the United States?
Crossing into Ontario is usually straightforward, since Rivière-Rouge sits about 90 minutes from the Quebec-Ontario border, and Ottawa or Gatineau Park make excellent additions to a Laurentians loop. For trips into the United States, message the host directly before booking, because cross-border travel and protection coverage require host approval in advance. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals. Popular cross-province routes from Rivière-Rouge include Mont-Tremblant to Ottawa (about 230 km) and an Algonquin Provincial Park loop (about 400 km). Pro tip: carry your booking confirmation, vehicle registration, and host contact info at the border to keep things smooth.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat should I budget for fuel on a Rivière-Rouge RV trip?
Fuel is the second-biggest line item after the rental, so it pays to plan. Class C motorhomes typical for this area average 18 to 22 litres per 100 km (around 11 to 13 mpg), and travel trailers add about 30 to 40 percent to your tow vehicle's normal consumption. Quebec gas prices in the Laurentides region tend to run a few cents higher than Montreal, currently averaging around $1.65 to $1.75 CAD per litre for regular. A round trip from Montreal to Rivière-Rouge with side trips to Tremblant and Kiamika typically burns about $250 to $400 in fuel for a Class C. Insider tip: fill up in Mont-Tremblant or Labelle before heading north on Route 117 since stations get sparser past Rivière-Rouge.
rncan.gc.ca/our-natural-resources/domestic-and-international-markets/transportation-fuel-prices/4593How far in advance should I book a campground near Rivière-Rouge?
For peak summer weekends (Saint-Jean-Baptiste June 24, Canada Day July 1, and any weekend in July or August), book SEPAQ campgrounds like Lac-Simon as soon as reservations open, which is typically around the first week of January for the upcoming season. Private campgrounds such as Camping de la Plage and Camping Labelle et la Rouge usually accept bookings starting in February or March and fill their riverfront sites by April. SEPAQ uses its own online reservation system, while private parks book directly through their websites or by phone. Pro tip: if you're flexible, Sunday-through-Thursday stays often have wide availability even mid-summer, and you'll find quieter sites and easier access for backing in your motorhome.
sepaq.com/reservation/index.dot?language_id=1What are driving conditions like around Rivière-Rouge?
Driving here is calmer than you might fear. Route 117 is the main artery through Rivière-Rouge and is a well-maintained two-lane highway with passing zones, though it does see logging trucks and weekend tourist traffic between Montreal and Mont-Laurier. Secondary roads heading to lakes like Tibériade and Tapani are paved but winding, with a few steep grades, so take it slow in a larger Class A or fifth wheel. Watch for moose and deer at dawn and dusk, particularly north of town toward La Macaza. Winter brings real snow and ice from late November through March. Pro tip: avoid Route 117 southbound on Sunday afternoons in summer (cottage country traffic) and check Quebec 511 for live road conditions.
quebec511.info/en/What amenities will I find at campgrounds around Rivière-Rouge?
Campgrounds around Rivière-Rouge are well equipped for a great RV stay. Expect a mix of 30-amp and 50-amp electrical hookups, fresh water, sewer or dump stations, hot showers, and Wi-Fi at most established parks like Camping de la Plage, Camping Labelle et la Rouge, and Centre touristique du Lac-Simon. Many sites offer beach access, canoe and kayak rentals, playgrounds, and small camp stores for ice, firewood, and basics. Dump stations are available on-site at the major campgrounds, and a public station exists near town for travellers in transit. Fresh water fills are easy at any serviced site. Insider tip: bring a 25-foot drinking-water hose, a 30-to-50 amp adapter, and a sewer hose extension since some sites place hookups farther from the pad than expected.
sepaq.com/ct/lsi/services.dot?language_id=1What's actually included in the RV I rent?
You'll be impressed by how turnkey most rigs are. RVs available to rent in Rivière-Rouge typically include a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink, cookware, and basic dishes), a bathroom with toilet and shower, sleeping for 4 to 8 depending on size, a furnace, air conditioning, and propane or an onboard generator for off-grid time. Larger Class A and Class C motorhomes often add a TV, outdoor speakers, and a power awning, while campervan rental Rivière-Rouge options offer a nimble setup with a small kitchenette and convertible bed. Every passenger has a seatbelt in motion. Pro tip: check the listing's amenity list and message the host to confirm bedding, towels, and a starter propane tank are included so you don't pack double.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Riviere-Rouge%2C+QuebecWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Hosts in the Rivière-Rouge area offer a great range of add-ons to customize your RV road trip from Rivière-Rouge. Common extras include linen and towel kits, camp chairs and tables, bike racks, generator use, propane refills, and kitchen kits with utensils and cookware. Pickup is usually at the host's home or driveway in or near town, and dropoff is at the same location unless you've arranged delivery. Mileage policies vary by listing (often 100 to 200 km per day included, with extra-km fees thereafter), and pet fees, when applicable, are set by the host. Pro tip: bundle delivery, setup, and a linen kit on your first trip so all you bring is groceries and a sense of adventure.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Riviere-Rouge%2C+QuebecHow do payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure. When you book a campervan rental Rivière-Rouge or motorhome on RVezy, you pay through the platform with a credit card, so there's no cash exchange at pickup and no awkward e-transfers. A refundable security deposit hold is placed on your card before pickup (the amount is shown at checkout and is separate from your booking payment) and is released after dropoff once the rig is returned in the same condition. To avoid any issues, do a thorough walkaround video with the host at pickup AND dropoff, return the RV with a clean interior and the fuel and propane at the same level you received them, and dump the holding tanks at a designated station. Pro tip: keep all dump-station and fuel receipts inside the RV.
