Outfitters: Your wilderness holiday destination

When you hear the words “sandy beach,” “beautiful sunsets” and “a wide range of resort activities,” it’s impossible not to think of vacationing! The good news is that  Camps touristiques La Pointe à David promises all this and more. Located on a peninsula in the Baskatong Reservoir, it’s the Sandbanks of Quebec! 

For sport fishing, there’s walleye, pike, whitefish, lake sturgeon… and landlocked salmon, which has become more and more common in recent years. 

And fishing isn’t the only activity. Baskatong is a paradise for water sports such as sailing, kayaking, canoeing, pedal boating and even kite surfing! And for your overnight stay, choose from rooms, luxury suites, cottages or campsites. In short, as a couple, with friends or as a family, you’re all set for a memorable vacation.

Authentic and memorable fishing trips are the norm at Domaine Shannon. It’s no coincidence that fishing enthusiasts return year after year to stay at this outfitter, whose immense territory covers 335 square kilometres. With more than 100 lakes, walleye and pike fishing rule! You could also catch some exceptionally large fighting fish. Pike weighing more than 25 pounds and walleye reaching up to 10 pounds have caught in Domaine Shannon’s waters. 

But it’s not just experienced fishers who enjoy Domaine Shannon: the outfitter is ideal for family holidays. Canoeing, pedal boating, swimming and cottage life in the heart of nature are just a few of the many attractions for families. There’s no better way to get away from the daily grind than to immerse yourself in the peace and quiet of nature.

At Chez Rainville Outfitter, a family fishing trip involves a lot more than fishing. You can also enjoy the beach, take your kids to the children’s park, go biking, have fun on the beach volleyball court, go hiking, play petanque, go boating, admire the view from the lookout, or splash around in the inflatable water games. 

And when it comes to fishing, the conditions are excellent, as the outfitter is located in a quiet bay of the Baskatong Reservoir. Go in search of the walleye, pike, landlocked salmon and yellow perch that inhabit this body of water. 

When it comes to sleeping arrangements, you have plenty of choice! The outfitter offers accommodation in trailers, cottages or a motel. In addition, Camping Union has campsites in the forest or by the water, with a magnificent view of the Baskatong.
