OUR STORY
The story begans in the 1950s. At that time the beach belonged to a Mrs. McKenzie and people went there to bathe. The site was bought by a local entrepreneur and one thing led to the next, as interest for the beach was growing and with the development of camping equipment, the area was gradually converted into a campground. From 1960 to 1980, several owners succeeded one another. In 1982, Roger and Madeleine Desautels acquired the campsite. They managed it with a lot of passion and dedication for more than 30 years, growing the reputation of the campground in the region.
