Overview
Just kilometers from the Vermont border, Coaticook is part of Quebec's Eastern Townships and offers plenty for campers all year-round. The town serves up fun attractions, a bunch of gourmet experiences thanks to an abundance of local producers, superb fishing, and a microbrewery. it's also full of parks and is also home to the amazing Forest Lumina multimedia adventure, which lights up the trees in the Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook at night throughout the summer. Staying in Coaticook puts you close to several stunning national parks, with a number of private campgrounds also in the area.
When to go
The Eastern Townships region is a four-season destination where most national parks offer winter camping and a range of snow and ice activities, so in theory, anyone can camp right through the coldest weather, provided you have the right gear. Coaticook can be really busy in July and August, but spring is pretty and fall may be the best time to visit, as it is usually still warm and the changing of the leaves is spectacular.
