Campgrounds near Shannon, Quebec
Shannon sits in the Jacques-Cartier River valley about 30 minutes northwest of Quebec City, putting RV travellers within easy reach of both urban attractions and the Laurentian highlands. The closest large operation is Camping Valcartier, a serviced campground next to the Village Vacances Valcartier waterpark with roughly 550 sites accommodating tents, trailers and RVs. The adjacent Valcartier Village Vacances complex adds ready-to-camp cabins and rustic units for travellers who want a roof but still need parking for a tow vehicle.
Further toward the city, Camping Ville De Quebec offers a closer base for sightseeing in Old Québec, while Camping Juneau Chalets and Camping De La Joie provide smaller, quieter alternatives in the surrounding countryside. Most private campgrounds in the area cater to families and operate on a seasonal calendar, opening in late spring and closing by early fall. The nearby Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier, managed by Sépaq, adds public camping with serviced and primitive sites inside a protected glacial valley.
Things to do near Shannon
The Village Vacances Valcartier waterpark is the headline family attraction, with the outdoor section running through the summer and a winter playground operating from mid-December to late March. Whitewater rafting, river tubing and kayak rentals on the Jacques-Cartier River run through the warm months. Camping Valcartier guests can use on-site amenities including a movie theatre, digital games room, laundry, swimming pool and a grocery store selling firewood and basic supplies.
Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier, a short drive north, offers more than 100 km of hiking and snowshoe trails, canoe and kayak rentals on the river, brook-trout fishing, and wildlife viewing for moose, beaver and great blue heron. Old Québec, Montmorency Falls and Île d'Orléans are all within day-trip range.

The camping window around Shannon is short and concentrated. Camping Valcartier typically operates from mid-June to early September, with a brief partial opening in mid-May for ready-to-camp accommodations only. Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier campgrounds open May 1 and close October 31, giving RV travellers a longer serviced-camping season at the public park than at most private operators nearby. The park also authorizes winter camping at two backcountry sites from mid-December to mid-March.
Summer is the peak booking period: July is the hottest month and August brings warm days with high humidity, plus heavier bug activity in June and early July. Early fall delivers strong foliage colour through late September and early October, and is a quieter time to camp. Winter is long and cold, with snow typically falling from November to early April and accumulating roughly three metres per year. Most RV-friendly serviced sites are closed in winter, though the park itself stays open year-round for snowshoeing, fatbiking and hiking. Spring is mud and melt season; reliable RV camping does not really begin until mid-May.

We rented Félix’ RV for a month traveling the Maritime provinces. It was an exceptional experience both working with Felix and using the RV itself. Felix was easy to communicate with. His instructions were clear. He answered questions easily and in good time. He was also flexible. It was clear he wanted us to have a good time. The RV itself was by far the best we have ever rented. It was well stocked with camping essentials. The queen size Murphy bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was a good size, including the shower. The double sink and large counter area made food prep very easy. The driver and passenger seats were comfortable. I cannot say enough positive about this experience and highly recommend both Félix and his RV.

How to book
Private campgrounds in the Shannon area are booked directly through each operator's website or by phone. Camping Valcartier and Valcartier Village Vacances share a central reservations line and accept online bookings; popular summer weekends fill weeks or months in advance, so reserve early for serviced pull-through sites and any ready-to-camp unit. The smaller operators in the area, including Camping Juneau Chalets and Camping De La Joie, take bookings directly.
For Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier, all camping is booked through Sépaq's online reservation system. A separate daily park access fee applies on top of the campsite charge and can be purchased online before arrival. Bilingual service is standard at most sites, but confirming RV length and hookup type in writing avoids surprises on arrival.
What to expect
Camping Valcartier is a large, busy, family-oriented park with water, electricity and sewer hookups available, fire rings, picnic tables, laundry, a swimming pool, snack bar and a grocery store. Reviewers note that serviced sites can be close together with limited natural privacy, while unserviced sites tend to be more spacious and wooded. Firewood and basic groceries are sold on site.
Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier offers a quieter experience with serviced and primitive sites, Huttopia ready-to-camp tents, rustic camps and chalets inside a glacial valley. Some rustic sites are accessible only on foot or by canoe. Cell service is patchy in the park interior. Black flies and mosquitoes peak in June and early July. Pack layered clothing year-round: nights can drop below 10 °C even in summer.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Shannon, QC
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Shannon, QC?
An RV rental in Shannon is one of the most affordable ways to explore the Jacques-Cartier region. On RVezy, towable trailers near Shannon typically start around $90 to $150 CAD per night, while motorhomes generally range from $180 to $275 CAD per night, with many hosts offering 10 to 20 percent off for weekly or monthly bookings. To find a cheap RV rental Shannon travellers love, filter by price, book mid-week, and aim for shoulder season (late May or September) when rates drop. Pro tip: many Shannon hosts include extras like camp chairs, BBQs, or bedding, so message them before booking to ask what is bundled in.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Shannon%2C%20QuebecWhat kind of driver's license do I need to rent an RV in Shannon, Quebec?
Great news for first-time renters: a regular Class 5 Quebec driver's license (or its equivalent from your home province, state, or country) is all you need to rent an RV in Shannon. The Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) confirms that a standard passenger vehicle license covers personal-use motorhomes, campervans, travel trailers, and fifth wheels. Visiting from abroad? Bring your home country license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you are set. All RVezy guests must be 25 or older, and identity is confirmed quickly through the platform, so you can focus on planning your Jacques-Cartier River adventure instead of paperwork.
saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/road-safety/modes-transportation/motor-home/what-law-saysIs my RV rental in Shannon protected if something goes wrong?
Yes. Every RV rental in Shannon, QC booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit Route 175 toward Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier with peace of mind. The protection plan covers eligible damage to the RV during your trip, and during checkout you can choose from different coverage levels to match your plans. Pro tip: select your coverage level before you confirm the trip so everything is locked in before pickup day.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Shannon RV rental?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy (not the host) sets the cancellation policy, so the rules are the same across every Shannon listing. Refunds depend on how close you are to your trip start date, and RVezy support can help when severe weather or natural events disrupt travel in the Laurentians. Because the policy is platform-wide, you do not have to compare fine print between listings. Pro tip: book early to lock in the best Shannon RVs for July and August, then relax knowing the cancellation policy is consistent and transparent.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Shannon RV trip?
Yes, plenty of hosts offer a pet-friendly RV rental Shannon dog owners love. Toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see listings that welcome your pup, and message the host to confirm any size or breed notes. On the road, dogs are welcome on select trails at Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier when kept on a short leash, and Camping Valcartier nearby also accepts pets in designated sections. Pro tip: pack a tether, collapsible water bowl, and tick prevention, the boreal forest around Shannon is prime tick habitat from May through October.
sepaq.com/pq/jac/index.dot?language_id=1Can the RV be delivered to my campground in Shannon?
Yes, RV delivery is one of the easiest ways to start a stress-free Shannon trip, especially if it is your first time renting an RV. Many hosts will drive the motorhome or trailer to Camping Valcartier, Quebec City KOA Holiday, or your driveway, level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before handing over the keys. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to find these listings instantly. Pro tip: delivery is a game-changer if you are flying into Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB), only about 20 minutes south of Shannon, and want to skip the rental car altogether.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Shannon%2C%20QuebecHow far can I drive on a Shannon RV trip, and is mileage included?
You have plenty of road to explore. Many Shannon hosts include a daily mileage allowance, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, perfect if you want to roam Quebec. From Shannon you can reach Old Quebec in about 30 minutes (30 km), Mont-Sainte-Anne in roughly 1 hour (70 km), Tadoussac for whale watching in about 3 hours (235 km), Saguenay in about 3 hours (220 km), and Montreal in roughly 3 hours (280 km). Each RVezy listing shows the included kilometres and the per-kilometre rate if you go over. Pro tip: message hosts before booking if you are planning a big Quebec loop and want to discuss mileage options.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Shannon%2C%20QuebecWhere are the best campgrounds near Shannon, QC?
You are spoiled for choice. Some of the best campgrounds near Shannon include Camping Valcartier in neighbouring Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier (full hookups, waterpark access, just 5 minutes away), Quebec City KOA Holiday in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures (about 25 minutes south with a free shuttle to Old Quebec), Camping Stoneham at the base of the ski hill (about 20 minutes east), and the Sépaq-run Camping du Petit-Lac and Camping Sept-Lacs inside Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier (30 minutes north). For RV camping Shannon visitors love, the Sépaq sites along the Jacques-Cartier River are unbeatable for scenery. Pro tip: serviced sites at Sépaq parks book out months in advance for July and August.
sepaq.com/pq/jac/index.dot?language_id=1When is the best time to rent an RV in Shannon, QC?
Shannon is a four-season destination, but the sweet spot for a motorhome rental Shannon trip is mid-June through mid-September, when daytime highs typically sit between 22 and 26 degrees Celsius and the Jacques-Cartier River is warm enough for tubing and kayaking. Late September and early October bring spectacular fall colours in the Laurentian foothills, fewer bugs, and lower nightly rates. Winter (December to March) is cold, with averages well below freezing, but adventurous renters can book a winterized rig and enjoy snowshoeing at Sépaq parks. Pro tip: black fly season peaks late May to mid-June, pack repellent if you go early.
climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_normals/index_e.htmlI have never driven an RV. Will I be okay renting in Shannon?
You will do great. Every RVezy host gives a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through driving, hookups, the propane system, slides, and the dump process. Shannon is an ideal first-time renting an RV launching pad: the roads are quiet, Route 369 and Route 367 are wide and well-maintained, and the drive to nearby campgrounds like Camping Valcartier is under 10 minutes. You can message your host through RVezy any time during your trip if questions pop up. Pro tip: book a Class B campervan or a smaller Class C (under 25 feet) for the easiest handling on Quebec backroads.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat if I have a breakdown during my Shannon RV trip?
You are never on your own. Every booking on RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on Route 175 or a dead battery at Camping Sept-Iles is just a phone call away. The roadside team can help with towing, jump-starts, lockouts, tire changes, and fuel delivery. Your host is also reachable directly through the RVezy app for quick troubleshooting on things like the furnace or water pump. Pro tip: save RVezy support and your host's contact in your phone before leaving Shannon, cell coverage thins out north of the national park entrance.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Shannon RV rental across the border to the United States?
In many cases, yes. Cross-border travel from Quebec into the United States is allowed by a number of RVezy hosts, but it depends on the specific listing's insurance coverage, so message the host before booking to confirm. From Shannon, popular cross-border routes include Vermont's Lake Champlain (about 4.5 hours via Autoroute 73 and I-89) and the New Hampshire White Mountains (about 5.5 hours). Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because of insurance limitations. Pro tip: if you are heading to the US, bring your passport, vehicle registration, and written authorization from your host, which RVezy makes easy to request before pickup.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on an RV road trip from Shannon?
Fuel is one of the bigger trip expenses, but easy to plan for. Gas prices in the Quebec City region typically sit around $1.55 to $1.80 CAD per litre, and Class C motorhomes near Shannon average 18 to 22 litres per 100 km, while campervans (Class B) do better at 11 to 14 litres per 100 km. For a 500 km RV road trip from Shannon, say a loop through Charlevoix, budget roughly $150 to $220 CAD for fuel in a mid-size motorhome. Pro tip: fill up in Shannon or Loretteville before heading north on Route 175, gas stations become sparse once you pass Stoneham.
regie-energie.qc.ca/en/consumers/gasoline-pricesHow far in advance should I book a campground near Shannon?
Book early and breathe easy. For Sépaq-run sites in Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier, reservations open in early January for the upcoming summer season through reservation.sepaq.com, and serviced RV sites for July and August routinely sell out within days. Private parks like Camping Valcartier and Quebec City KOA Holiday accept bookings up to 12 months ahead, with peak weekends filling 3 to 6 months out. Spring and fall are more forgiving, often available 2 to 4 weeks ahead. Pro tip: if Sépaq is full, set up a Campnab alert for cancellations, sites open up frequently as plans change.
sepaq.com/en/reservationWhat are the driving conditions like around Shannon?
Driving around Shannon is refreshingly relaxed compared to big-city RVing. Local roads like Route 369 (Boulevard Jacques-Cartier) are flat, two-lane, and easy to handle even for first-timers. Heading north on Route 175 into Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier brings rolling hills, a few steeper grades, and the occasional moose crossing, so drive in daylight when possible. Winter (November to April) brings snow and ice, and winter tires are required by law in Quebec from December 1 to March 15. Pro tip: avoid the Quebec City bridges (Pont de Québec and Pont Pierre-Laporte) at rush hour if you are driving a tall RV, traffic backs up quickly and overhead clearances are tight on some downtown streets.
saaq.gouv.qc.ca/en/road-safety/states-condition/winter-driving/winter-tiresWhat amenities should I expect at campgrounds near Shannon?
Quebec campgrounds near Shannon are well-equipped for RVers. At Camping Valcartier and Quebec City KOA Holiday you will find full hookups (30 and 50 amp electric, water, and sewer), Wi-Fi, laundry, hot showers, pools, and on-site stores. Sépaq's Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier offers a mix of serviced and unserviced sites with potable water fill stations, a dump station, firewood sales, and clean shared washrooms. Pro tip: fill your fresh water tank in Shannon before driving into the national park, and plan your dump station stops on the way back to make the trip stress-free.
sepaq.com/pq/jac/index.dot?language_id=1What features come with a typical RV rental in Shannon?
You will be surprised how loaded most rigs are. A typical campervan rental Shannon hosts list includes a queen or convertible bed, fridge, two-burner stove, sink with running water, and house battery for off-grid nights. Class C motorhomes step it up with a full bathroom (toilet and shower), microwave, propane furnace, air conditioning, dinette that converts to a bed, and seatbelted seating for 4 to 6. Many rigs include a TV, USB ports, and outdoor awning, with options like Wi-Fi hotspots, generators, and BBQs as add-ons. Pro tip: filter by Sleeps count and RV type on RVezy to match your group size before you start scrolling through dozens of listings.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Shannon%2C%20QuebecWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about for Shannon rentals?
Hosts in Shannon make trip planning genuinely easy. Popular add-ons include bedding and linen packages, kitchen kits, camp chairs, propane BBQs, portable generators, bike racks, and Wi-Fi hotspots. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Shannon or Valcartier, but many offer delivery to Quebec City, Jean Lesage Airport (YQB), or directly to your campground for a flat fee based on distance. Each listing spells out mileage policies (kilometres included per night and overage rate) and generator hours. Pro tip: ask about a one-way drop-off if you are doing a Shannon to Saguenay or Tadoussac route, some hosts will accommodate it.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Shannon%2C%20QuebecHow does payment and the security deposit work when I rent an RV in Shannon?
Payment is simple and secure. When you rent an RV in Shannon through RVezy, you pay the full rental amount (plus taxes and any add-ons) through the platform using a credit card, no cash or e-transfers to the host. A separate refundable security deposit is pre-authorized on your card before pickup and released after drop-off when there are no issues. To avoid surprises, document the RV's condition with photos at pickup and return, return it with a full fuel and propane tank, and respect the mileage and generator limits. Pro tip: keep all receipts from your Shannon trip in case you need them for a quick deposit refund.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksAre there winter RV rentals available in Shannon?
Yes, and a winter RV trip in Shannon is genuinely magical. Some hosts offer winterized rigs with heated holding tanks, propane furnaces, and shore power compatibility, perfect for snowshoeing in Parc national de la Jacques-Cartier or skiing at nearby Stoneham (about 15 minutes) and Mont-Sainte-Anne (about 45 minutes). Look for listings that explicitly mention four-season or winter use, and confirm with the host that the rig is plumbed for cold weather. Expect overnight lows that can drop to minus 20 degrees Celsius or colder from December to February. Pro tip: choose a campground that keeps electrical hookups running through winter, so you can stay toasty inside while the snow piles up outside.
