Urban Regenerative Gardens

3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents2 acres · Sherbrooke, QC

This rare urban site acknowledges our Abenaki heritage, who camped and lived along these shores for centuries. Our beautiful urban location near highway 410 and Bishop's University, directly on St. Francis river, makes it an exceptional starting point for cyclists who want to enjoy the Route Verte path; fish, canoe, kayak or tube the river or simply explore all Sherbrooke has to offer. Our birdlife is amazing and is a recognized birding location by provincial authorities, especially for swallows and chimney swifts. A fire pit will be made available, in respect of all fire bans, with firewood available for purchase. In 1910, Agriculture Canada set up a research centre that operated until the 1950's. The property was sold to a family that emigrated to Canada from Europe, to set begin a new life post WW2. 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. Bilingual service. ________________ Ce site urbain rare rend hommage à notre héritage abénakis qui a campé et vécu le long de ces rives pendant des siècles. (https://www.thefarmhouse.store) Notre belle situation urbaine à proximité de l'autoroute 410 et de l'Université Bishop's, directement sur la rivière Saint-François, en fait un point de départ exceptionnel pour les cyclistes qui veulent profiter du sentier de la Route Verte; pêchez, faites du canot, du kayak ou du tube sur la rivière ou explorez tout simplement tout ce que Sherbrooke a à offrir. Notre avifaune est incroyable et est un site d'observation d'oiseaux reconnu par les autorités provinciales, en particulier pour les hirondelles et les martinets ramoneurs. Un foyer au bord de la rivière sera mis à disposition, dans le respect de toutes les interdictions de feu, avec du bois de chauffage disponible à l'achat. Dans 1910, Agriculture Canada met sur pied un centre de recherche qui fonctionnera jusque dans les années 1950. La propriété a été vendue à une famille qui a émigré au Canada depuis l'Europe, pour commencer une nouvelle vie après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. En 2015, j'ai acheté la propriété pour la ramener à ses racines - agriculture régénérative, formation, hospitalité, lutte contre la pauvreté et mode de vie sain. En savoir plus sur ce terrain : Soyez notre invité à The Farmhouse, une petite ferme dynamique avec un cœur pour la terre et ses habitants. Des produits agricoles frais de saison seront disponibles à l'achat ainsi que des visites guidées du jardin. Situé à moins de 5 minutes à pied de Lennoxville (Bishop's University).

Beach camping near Drummondville with showers guide

Overview

Drummondville, QC is a small city on the Saint-François River, almost equidistant between Montreal and Quebec City. The town features exhibitions of Quebec’s culture and history, like the annual Festival de la Poutine—a music festival and celebration of the famed fries, cheese curds, and gravy dish—and the historical Village Québécois d'Antan. It’s also the ideal home base to start exploring Quebec’s great outdoors—with countless RV sites and campsites near Drummondville, campers are never far from their next adventure.

Where to go

Parc National du Mont-Orford

One of Quebec’s most treasured parks, Parc du Mont-Orford is best experienced on a hike. With more than 80 kilometres of trails crossing some of the Eastern Townships’ most spectacular viewpoints, hikers can also experience the park’s wildlife, including deer, blue herons, and various species of reptiles and amphibians. It’s a hotspot for cross-country skiing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and mountain biking, depending on the season you choose to visit. Check in at a nearby Drummondville forest campground or park your camper at one of many nearby sites.

Parc National du Mont-Saint-Bruno

With almost 30 kilometres of trails, a magnificent nearby lake, and incredible biodiversity, you’d be hard-pressed to believe this park is minutes outside Montreal’s dense urban centre. Explore the hiking paths in warm weather, snowshoe through in the winter, enjoy canoeing and paddleboarding on the lake, or gear up and hit the slopes on the park’s dedicated sledding hill. Minutes away, accommodations of all kinds are available, from camping to luxurious cabin rentals.

Parc Régional du Mont Ham

Looming over 700 metres above the region, Mont Ham and the beautiful park surrounding are musts in the Drummondville area. In summer, explore the mountain’s hiking trails, reach the summit, and experience an unbelievable 360-degree view. There’s even a disc golf course in the nearby woods. In winter, determined hikers can reach the top of the mountain using snowshoes and crampons, or cruise through the park’s cross-country skiing trails. Afterwards, choose from rustic A-frame rentals and riverside campsites (complete with fishing spots) to unwind.

When to go

As with all of Quebec, the fun doesn’t end in Drummondville when the warm weather does. These parks are busier in winter than summer, thanks to the popularity of winter sports like skiing, snowshoeing, and sledding. Unlike other destinations, summer is the best time to avoid larger crowds here. Prepare for warm, humid summers (July sees an average high temperature of 26°C with relative humidity of 72%) and cold winters (December’s average high is -1°C).
