Mont Tremblant National Park Camping, La Diable Sector
Quebec’s very first national park—and the third established in Canada—Parc National du Mont-Tremblant was established in 1895 and celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2020. With six outstanding rivers and 400 lakes and streams, it’s a paddler’s paradise. There is also a via ferrata, an intermediate activity between hiking and climbing that lets you discover the park’s mountains in a way most of us could otherwise only dream about. Camping Parc Mont Tremblant is available year-round, with over 900 campsites and an unmatched variety of cabins, huts and yurts offering a wide range of camping experiences for everyone.
Spanning more than 1,500 square kilometers, Parc National du Mont-Tremblant is the largest protected territory in southern Quebec. The huge size of Mont Tremblant National Park means you’ll first need to decide which part of the park you would like to base yourself from. The park’s western side is known as La Diable Sector and is home to the main visitors center, beautiful Lac Monroe and the impressive Rivière du Diable.
