Amazing paradise, similar in look and ecology to some areas of BC or Alberta
Parc National des Grands Jardins的点评
点评:We've been to Grands Jardins as campers 2 years in a row both at the end of August or early September.
In both cases, there were no bugs at all, as the night time temperatures on some nights went to single digit.
We camped in the very small section (8 campsites) in the Arthabaska section dedicated to tents with no hookups.
There is zero cell service at Arthabaska, but there is 24hr WiFi available at the interpretation center, both inside and outside. (this was a 2 minute walk from our campsite) At this campsite, before Sepaq took it over, there were yurts on platforms. When they removed the yurts, they kept the wooden platforms, which are really nice to pitch your tent on. We had room for tent, 2 chairs and the picnic table and also enough room to do yoga on the mats we usually bring.
There are a few nice long hikes we could do from Arthabaka.
We occasionally drove to the Mont-du-Lac-des-Cygnes Visitors Centre and did the hike to Le Mont-du-Lac-des-Cygnes. Once you get above the tree line, this hike affords stunning views from the barren rocky top. If weather permits, this is an amazing location to have lunch.
This place is amazing. There was a large forest fire many years ago and the recovery is quite unique, with small to medium size pine trees and lots of Lichen (looks like a yellow carpet.....see my photos)
It's an extremely peaceful and special place.
So far, we've been to 6 Sepaq camping locations and this is our favorite so far.
翻译:我们连续两年都去 Grands Jardins 露营,每次都是在八月底或九月初。
两次都没有虫子,因为有些夜晚的夜间温度只有个位数。
我们露营在 Arthabaska 区一个很小的区域(8 个营地),专门用来搭帐篷,没有网络接口。
Arthabaska 没有手机信号,但解说中心提供 24 小时 WiFi,室内外均可使用。(从我们的营地步行 2 分钟即可到达)在 Sepaq 接管这个营地之前,那里有搭建在平台上的蒙古包。他们拆除了蒙古包后,保留了木制平台,非常适合搭建帐篷。我们有足够的空间搭帐篷、放两把椅子和一张野餐桌,也有足够的空间在我们通常携带的瑜伽垫上做瑜伽。
从 Arthabaka 出发,我们可以进行几段不错的长途徒步旅行。
我们偶尔会开车去天鹅湖游客中心,然后徒步前往天鹅湖。一旦越过林木线,沿着这条步道,从光秃秃的岩石山顶上欣赏到令人惊叹的美景。如果天气允许,这里是享用午餐的绝佳地点。
这个地方太棒了。很多年前这里曾发生过一场大森林火灾,现在的恢复情况相当独特,保留着中小型松树和大量地衣(看起来像黄色的地毯……看看我的照片)。
这是一个极其宁静而特别的地方。
到目前为止,我们已经去过6个Sepaq露营地,这是我们最喜欢的。
