Camping La Fierté

Very relaxed and accepting atmosphere with friendly people and a clean artificial lake.

What a little gem of a place. Hidden away and quiet, with very clean and we'll run facilities. Recommended to like minded guests.

Love it! Lots of space, great lake, but most of all the human atmosphere.

Camping site managed and own by a spitefull man, without ethics or moral compass. Let's not speak about business manners... Hes on a powertrip.

Since there are no reviews in English I'll write mine. The place is at 45 minutes northeast of Montreal. It's a private gay camping facility, exclusively for men. Nudity is allowed in the grounds but sexual activity is prohibited in public areas and, in theory, those who get caught can be expelled from the camp. Customers can visit for a day, or make arrangements for longer stays. There is a pool area, an artificial lake, a volleyball court by the lake, a restaurant, a bar and a small auditorium. The crowd is made up mostly by retired gay men who come to spend the summer and some live there permanently, most of them are exclusively French-speaking. The ambiance is OK, the crowd is rather cliquish, small groups here and there, very little interaction among them, and if you don't speak French you don't exist (I came with friends from the US and Denmark who speak no French) so the feeling is like being in a gay French-speaking ghetto; we spent sometime by the pool, it was crowded yet very people talked to each other, only the long-term residents who know each other talked among themselves. We walked around the grounds and the residents could smell we were visitors, not Quebecois, and looked at us in a dismissive and sometimes aggressive manner. Not exactly a young crowd, most of the people are senior citizens. The grounds are OK, there is a river that is more or less useless since it has no beach, is swarmed by mosquitoes and the access is a bit difficult. Do not expect an ongoing orgy in the bushes, however, many guys do walk around naked, some hang out in their porch and when someone walks by they will pretend to pick something from the ground and moon you, perhaps as an invitation to other things. It's OK to come for a day, breathe some fresh air and expose your skin to the sun, and probably to see some eye candy if older guys are your thing. The web page has not content in English at all, which probably signals that non-Francophones are not welcome...a little bit like the gay bars at the Village in Montreal
