Camping Port St-Francois

The park was easy to find. It is located just across The Laviolette Bridge from Troi Rivieres in the little town of Nicolet. There is pavement all the way until you arrive in the park. The interior roads are a mix of gravel and dirt but mostly in good condition. Signage is adequate. Check in was efficient and friendly. We received service in English. The rules are fairly basic.

Our site, 04, was a back in that was just long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30 amp, water and sewer) were to the left side. Distancing is good for an urban park. There were NO sites that had a privacy barrier. Each site has a table and a fire pit. Our site was flat and even. There are many seasonal sites here. There were none that were trashy. I believe we were the only uni lingual (English) speaking folks in the park but we did speak with other bi lingual and found most folks very friendly and welcoming. Overall the park was well maintained. Some sites were pretty muddy because of the amount of rain recently received.

There is park included wifi but we were unable to gain access because we do not read or speak French. We relied on our own service. There is no Cable TV but we found a few OTA TV, but all of them were in French. Satellite might be difficult because of the trees if you don’t have a portable dish. We did not use the washrooms or showers but we checked and found them clean.

There are numerous playgrounds for children plus tennis, basket ball and volley ball courts. A large pool with hot tub (but we under repair during our stay) and a short walk down the road leads to a public beach and pier that can be used for fishing. There were other activities available but we opted not to join.

There is a small restaurant at the entrance to the park but no stores within easy walking distance. Just a short drive away you can find food, shopping and convenience stores in the village of Nicolet or across the bridge in Trois Rivieres. We found this park to be an great for an overnighter. We ended up staying three days. We paid $48.00 per night and we feel we received good value. We will be back if in the area again.
