Do you practice gratitude? I have a confession to make: it’s gratitude that, in 2020 and again in 2021, has allowed me to see the beauty and good around me despite everything that we are collectively going through with the pandemic. It is in that spirit that I wish to share my gratitude that the pandemic allowed me to get back to basics and reconnect with nature. In fact, my family and I had the pleasure of rediscovering camping, and we created memories that will remain etched in our hearts forever.
Me, my family, and nature… how could I have forgotten how much these 3 elements combined made me so happy? To rediscover this happiness for yourselves, I suggest that you visit one or more of these 16 campgrounds in Quebec where you can have a great time with your family in nature this summer.
La Bannik Campground,Témiscamingue
La Bannik is a haven of peace where nature and amenities coexist perfectly. You will find a restaurant on site where they boast quality service and a breathtaking view of Lake Témiscamingue.
