Loud Noise - disturbing other persons
Be considerate. Please keep the volume of your music, voices and other noises
to a reasonable level. Interfering with anyone else's use or enjoyment of
a park, day or night, is not only inconsiderate - it is also contrary to park
regulations. Quiet hours are enforced 24 hours a day.
Alcoholic Beverages
Most campgrounds operated by the Parks of the St. Lawrence permit the drinking
of beer, wine and other spirits , but only on a registered campsite. Drinking,
or the possession of an open alcoholic beverage container in any other park area
is against the law.
Note: You should check with your campground for the dates and parks affected
by any alcohol bans.
Camping and Vehicle Permits
You must have a permit to camp or use your vehicle in the Parks of the St. Lawrence.
A Camping Permit authorizes one vehicle and up to three pieces of shelter equipment
per site. Only one tent trailer, house trailer or self-propelled camping unit can
be used in combination with two other pieces of shelter equipment, i.e. tent, dining
shelter or tarp.
Changing Your Site
In order to change sites, you must first enquire which sites are available for your
length of stay. DO NOT set up camp until your permits have been confirmed and physically
changed by the Gate staff.
Extending Your Length of Stay
To extend your stay, you must renew your permit at the registration office prior to Check-Out time on departure day (1 p.m. for campsites or 11.00 a.m. for cabins), providing the site has no reservations. Site specific reservations do take priority.
Shortening Your Length of Stay/Refund
To shorten your stay, you must do so at the registration office prior to 1 p.m. on the day of your departure. No refunds for early departures during minimum stay periods.
