    Welcome and thanks for visiting my listing:) Please note that this location is for 2 quiet adults only. No toilet facilities at property so bring your own camping toilet or self-contained RV. There's something that will make you breathe a little deeper being here. I looked at many properties before deciding on this one because "it just felt right". This flat terrain is rich in history. Pontiac Bay was fundamental in the logging era and held the local Trading post. The bay is nestled between Luskville and Norway Bay. As you drive here you will begin to feel a sense of calm within you as you glance out your right window to see the Gatineau Hills and to your left, you will see that you're winding your way along the Ottawa River. Or, if you decide to use the ferry crossing from Fitzroy Harbour on the Ontario side we're only 8 minutes from there. I have an old, but river-worthy canoe you may borrow but feel free to bring your own canoe, kayak, paddleboat or SUP to explore the land and inlets around the bay. You have access to my boat launch adjacent to the site so feel free to bring your boat. P.S. You might want to stop in the village for the best french fries in all of the Outaouais region. You'll see the big red chip truck across from Marcotte's, the gas station as you leave the ferry terminal, if you're coming from Fitzroy Harbour. And yes, they make pulled pork poutine, pogos, burgers and zucchini sticks. If you're here on the weekend you may also want to check out the Bristol Farmer's market every Saturday from Noon to 3pm on the public beach in Norway Bay, only 20 minutes away. It's a lovely quaint community mixed with old and new unique cottages so you'll definitely want to take a drive around. And you'll surely want to visit the Vineyard and Vintage Car Museum, a 2-minute drive from here if you enjoy wine and cars (but not at the same time lol...unless the keys AREN'T in the ignition ha!). Google Domaine de Pontiac Village for hours and more information or message me. Visit Parc des Chutes in Fort Coulonge for a view of the waterfalls, zip lining over the gorge and obstacle courses. (The view of the gorge is breathtaking!) Want to try whitewater rafting for an exhilarating rush? Try Esprit or Horizon X, both about 40 minutes north. How about Go Karting? visit lecircuitquyon dot com .Version Française ci-dessous There's something that just makes you feel good being here.  I looked at many properties before deciding on this one because "it just felt right".   This (mostly-flat) terrain is rich in history.  Pontiac Bay was fundamental in the logging era and held the local Hudson's Bay Trading post.

J'ai regardé de nombreuses propriétés avant de choisir celle-ci parce que "ça me semblait juste". Ce terrain plat est riche en histoire. La baie de Pontiac était fondamentale à l'époque de l'exploitation forestière et abritait le poste de traite local. La baie est nichée entre les chutes de Luskville et les chutes de Fort Coulonge. En conduisant ici, vous commencerez à ressentir un sentiment de calme en jetant un coup d'œil par la fenêtre de droite pour voir les collines de la Gatineau et à votre gauche, vous verrez que vous serpentez le long de la rivière des Outaouais. Ou, si vous décidez d'utiliser le traversier depuis Fitzroy Harbour du côté de l'Ontario, nous ne sommes qu'à 8 minutes de là. J'ai un vieux canoë que vous pouvez emprunter, mais n'hésitez pas à apporter votre propre canoë, kayak ou pédalo pour explorer la terre. Les deux sites ont un accès à la rampe de mise à l'eau. Il n'y a pas de toilettes sur la propriété, alors apportez vos propres toilettes de camping ou votre camping-car autonome. PS: Vous voudrez peut-être vous arrêter au village pour les meilleures frites de toute la région de l'Outaouais. Vous verrez le gros camion rouge en face de Marcotte, la station-service lorsque vous quittez le terminal du ferry si vous venez de Fitzroy Harbour. Et oui, ils font de la poutine au porc effiloché, des pogos, des burgers et des bâtonnets de courgettes. Si vous êtes ici le week-end, vous pouvez également visiter le marché fermier de Bristol tous les samedis de midi à 15h sur la plage publique de Norway Bay, à seulement 20 minutes. C'est une charmante communauté pittoresque mélangée à d'anciens et à de nouveaux cottages uniques, vous aurez donc certainement envie de faire un tour en voiture. Et vous voudrez sûrement visiter le musée du vignoble et des voitures anciennes, à 2 minutes en voiture d'ici si vous aimez le vin et les voitures (mais pas en même temps lol... à moins que les clés NE SONT PAS dans le contact ha ! ). Allez rechercher sur Google “Domaine de Pontiac Village” pour les heures et plus d'informations ou envoyez-moi un message. Visitez le Parc des Chutes à Fort Coulonge pour une vue sur les chutes, la tyrolienne au-dessus de la gorge et les parcours d'obstacles. (La vue sur les gorges est à couper le souffle !) Vous voulez essayer le rafting en eau vive pour une course exaltante ? Essayez Esprit ou Horizon X, tous deux à environ 40 minutes au nord. Que diriez-vous de faire du karting ?

    Charming parcel of land tucked away
    Tent
    I was looking for a tranquil place by the water to look at the sunrise and the sunset while basking in contemplation during the day and found all of this while camping in my bell tent on Tina's land! The host is very friendly and made the experience even better. It is a lovely parcel of land with a fire pit, adorned with tiny white lights along a rock-laden walkway by the water. The lot features a magnificent sunset on the glistening water in the evening and sits under a star studded canopy at night. I really enjoyed my short stay!

    First winter camping experience!
    5 m car
    My wife and I went winter camping for the first time and we couldn’t have picked a better location and hostess. We had a lot of questions since we were driving up from the US and Tina was so responsive! The campsite was right on the water with great views. Tina made it a point to be present when we arrived so that she could greet us and to fill up our water tanks. I highly recommend this campsite and my wife and I will surely visit again during the warmer months.
