Camp, Ottawa river, Grenville C-O-G

11 sites · RVs, Tents59 acres · Brownsburg Chatham, QC

Come and enjoy a traditional, rustic camping experience on the mighty Ottawa River! Bring your water shoes and a canoe or kayak, or you may rent one of ours for an unforgettable adventure. C-O-G is located on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River, east of the bridge that passes over from Hawkesbury, Ontario. This beautiful (mostly) deciduous forest is situated on both sides of the 344/Rte Des Outaouais. The 59 acre property (50 acres on land, ~9 acres of river/water) features scenic views, privacy and is host to many outdoor activities such as swimming, canoeing, kayaking, fishing and more. "Lock Lane Point" ...the shared area Also referred to as "the Point", this is the peninsula that the main roadway ends at (where the BBQ, kayaks and canoes are), this is a shared area for us and our guests to enjoy. It's encouraged that guests feel welcome to come and go freely, promoting a sense of community while respecting shared use. The Point offers a large picnic table, a shared propane BBQ, comfortable seating, a large rock perfect for sunbathing, and a river view. It's an ideal spot for swimming and launching canoe, kayak, or paddle-board river excursions, thanks to its shallow entry and rocky bottom. Adventurous visitors might choose to paddle upriver, around an island, and return through the remaining historic canal. For a more strenuous workout, consider paddling up the canal to the Grenville lighthouse and then drifting all the way back to camp with the river's current. Enjoy this historic, lazy river experience! Amenities... Numerous amenities are located within a distance of 1-3 kms, including a gas station with electric vehicle charging facilities, an IGA grocery store, and various restaurants such as McDonald's and Tim Horton's. For a classic poutine experience, Jos Patate is a great choice, having been around for many decades. If you're looking for a wide range of poutine options, La Fromagerie is the place to go. For ice cream lovers, La Crémière, located in the same building, is a must-visit. Tourism... Numerous tourist attractions are conveniently located in the vicinity, such as the exhilarating white water rafting experience on the Rouge River and the wildlife-filled Parc Omega zoo, both within a short 10-25 km distance. For a wider range of activities, day trips to Ottawa, Montreal, the Calypso water park, or Mont Tremblant are all approximately an hour's drive away. A little History... Our property has played host to a portion of the rich history of this area which included three railway tracks, a canal and a lock. The railway beds remain and the lock has simply been flooded over. Following the war of 1812, three Ottawa river canal systems were constructed between 1819 and 1833 to bypass the Long Sault Rapids on the Ottawa river. These canals were in use until 1961 when a large portion of the canal system was submerged due to the construction of a hydro-electric dam (~22kms downriver) at Carillion. As a result, the river level at our property rose high enough to submerge the top of the lock walls by ~3.5 feet. This submerged lock is located a few hundred feet offshore and can be seen using Google Earth as it measures 50' x 300' in size. Once you have a good idea where it is, throw on your water shoes and a life jacket and enjoy an interesting experience of walking on the walls of a submerged lock.

The best camping near Oka National Park guide

Overview

About

A destination for Montrealers fleeing the hot urban summers, Oka National Park is easy to reach from the city and well worth a few days of exploring. With its beaches, wetlands, and proximity to gourmet wine, cheese, and maple, its popularity is no surprise. But not just a sight for sore eyes, Oka also features Le Calvaire d’Oka, an 18th-century religious complex of seven oratories and chapels near an easy 4.4-kilometre hiking trail with views of Lac des Deux-Montagnes. Kayaking and canoeing opportunities are plentiful in the park in summer, and while it’s lovely year-round, autumn is particularly pretty with crimson, gold, and auburn foliage. Camping options in Oka National Park are more modest than in other nearby areas, but the semi-serviced campsites and four-person cabin are available in both winter and summer.

Notable campgrounds

Best for beach access: De la Crête
Best for ready-to-camp: Les Dunes
Best for cabins on a budget: Le Méandre

Tips for snagging a campsite

Online bookings for campsites open at 8am ET on November 14 of each year.
Scoring a walk-up site is highly unlikely in peak season (May to October). Campers should book well in advance, especially on weekends.

When to go

Oka National Park camping sites are usually quite crowded, but particularly so in the last week of June, the last week of July, and the first week of August due to provincial holidays. While the park is open year-round, some services may not be available in winter.

Know before you go

To stay overnight at one of the Oka National Park camping sites, you’ll need to pay the daily entrance fee per adult on top of the nightly camping rate.
The park sometimes reaches capacity—arrive early to avoid being refused entry.
Dogs are allowed onsite, but only in certain areas. Guide dogs and service dogs are allowed everywhere.
Equipment rentals are available throughout the park.
