In 2015, I purchased the property to return it to its roots - regenerative farming, training, hospitality, poverty relief and healthy living. Be our guest at The Farmhouse, a vibrant small-scale farm with a heart for the earth and its people. (https://www.thefarmhouse.store) Seasonal, fresh farm produce will be available for purchase as well as guided garden tours.   Located within 5 minute walking distance to Lennoxville (Bishop's University).  It's perfect for campers who like to experience "urban" camping. Some road noise. If you are concerned about the weather, the site provides the use of a 8 sleeper tent trailer for your convenience. During the day, you are welcome to relax in it too. Portable water will be provided, but bring your own drinks if possible. As a bonus treat, you are welcome to sleep in a very HIP camper, a 1980 retro dodge camper van.

Cozy, well-equipped and built with warmth and lots of love, the tiny house was exactly what we were looking for to welcome the new year :-) Alain was kind, welcoming and very responsive; he made sure we have everything we needed, and went above and beyond to find a solution for a little technical issue related to the wood stove (thank you Alain!). We spent a peaceful down time, recharged, and were even able to enjoy snowshoeing in the beautiful vast terrain. What a treat! Thank you so much for this memorable experience and for making us feel like home! We recommend in a heartbeat <3

The gated food forest was so pretty and clean. We loved the soft grass, huge fire pit, and the two large umbrellas and tables. Our dog was able to roam around and play safely. The location is beautiful with rolling hills and farms. Nicole and Robert were very friendly and kind. They recommended some great hikes and festivals going on in the area. We would love to come back in the Fall to see all the colours.

She picked fresh leaves that have a calming property and gave me a tour of the farm - I saw the chicken coup "she lovingly calls the ladies" and the garden in front is incredible! Amazing river front but I did not have the time to take a dip. Chris is very responsive and allowed me to extend my stay last minute! It's a slice of heaven that is close to everything.

2 nights at Back to Nature Eco-Lodging

I set up my tent right next to the creek, and it was pure magic. The gentle sound of the flowing water was incredibly soothing — like nature’s lullaby through the night. The spot is basic and completely wild, but that’s exactly what makes it special. No crowds — just peace. 🌿 The ground is flat enough for a tent, with space for one or two campers. It’s only accessible by foot, which makes it feel truly remote. In the morning, I woke up to birdsong and soft sunlight filtering through the trees — such a calm and grounding way to start the day. 🌳 There are a few lovely little trails nearby, perfect for a peaceful walk through the woods. One of the highlights was the cozy riverside area with chairs and a hammock — such a perfect place to relax, read, or simply listen to the water. 🌟 A big thank-you to Paule and Benoît, who were incredibly kind and welcoming. Their generosity and good energy added a really special touch to the experience. A little hidden gem for anyone looking to disconnect and enjoy the raw beauty of nature. 💚 I’ll definitely be coming back.

The best camping near Sherbrooke with campfires guide

Where to go

Lac Magog

Magog is a small township about 30 minutes outside Sherbrooke with lakes on every side. Camping at Lac Magog provides close access to aquatic activities like kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and swimming. As winter unfolds, temperatures drop, making RV camping a prime choice. During this time, winter activities take advantage of the snow blanketing the landscape, with cross-country skiing, skating, and snowshoeing dominating the outdoor scene.

Mont-Orford National Park

Take a short drive (roughly 30 minutes) to scope out Mont-Orford National Park. It promises tons of room for adventure with 55 kilometres of cross-country ski trails and multiple hiking trails. Stretch your legs after a long car ride with the La Super trail that reaches the peak of Mont Orford to witness stunning views of the Eastern Townships. Or take the Hybrid Lift—a gondola and chair lift system that transports passengers 850 metres up to the top of the mountain. Spaces fill up quickly, so book tickets online in advance.

Mont Bellevue Park

Offering downhill and cross-country skiing, a snow tube park, tennis courts, dozens of hiking trails, and an archery range, it’s no surprise that Mont Bellevue is the largest park in Sherbrooke. The native ecosystem is bursting with biodiversity, making it an excellent spot for bird watching, even though it’s in the city. Bring or rent a mountain bike to cover as much terrain as possible, then head back to a Sherbrooke cabin for some R&R.

When to go

Every season in Sherbrooke has its benefits, but certain attractions are best seen during specific times. If rainy days and wet feet are a no-go, steer clear of springtime when all that snow starts melting (waterproof shoes are a must for March and April). If snowy activities are a top priority, the middle of winter is best. November to April will be cold, with the lowest temps seen in December, January, and February (-30°C is common). June, July, and August are prime months for swimming and fishing with temperatures hanging around 25°C.
