Eclipse – new ready-to-camp

For an immersive nature experience, choose the new Éclipse ready-to-camp accommodations at Parc du Massif du Sud.

These six new locally designed ready-to-camp Éclipse accommodations reflect our commitment to providing a nature retreat for our guests at Parc du Massif du Sud.

Located in the Birch sector on sites specially selected to maximize the large windows overlooking an abundant forest, the six Éclipse ready-to-camp units will appeal to those seeking comfort and an immersive nature experience, in a welcoming and thoughtfully designed space for 2 to 4 adults or a family of five (2 adults and 3 children).

Just a few meters from the cross-country ski trails, mountain biking paths, and hiking trails, the six Éclipse ready-to-camp units are within walking distance of the Pavillon Desjardins, a multifunctional facility offering $1 showers, a 24/7 restroom block, free Wi-Fi, and highly appreciated rest and cooking areas. The Park also provides restrooms and showers at the welcome station.

Equipped with a wood stove, a propane stove, three mattresses (two doubles and one single), and all the necessary cooking gear, the Éclipse ready-to-camp units are not yet electrified but will be in a subsequent phase starting in the summer of 2025. We provide 10 liters of potable water per night and deliver the full amount to your accommodation on the day of your arrival. In the summer, an outdoor fire pit and picnic table allow you to fully enjoy your site. A supply of firewood is provided for the duration of your stay, and additional wood can be purchased at the welcome station if needed.

Please note that:

  • In the summer, you may park your vehicle directly at your accommodation. Please note that only one vehicle is allowed per parking spot, and RVs or trailers are not permitted. In the winter, you must park your vehicle in one of the designated parking areas and walk 900 meters to reach your accommodation. A sled is available at the welcome station to help transport your luggage.
  • The outdoor fire pit may only be used during the summer season, from May 1st to November 1st.
  • If you need additional potable water during your stay, you can obtain it at the welcome station, the Pavillon Desjardins, or the potable water station (in summer).
  • Bringing your own firewood is prohibited due to the risks associated with the transmission of tree diseases (such as the Emerald Ash Borer or the Asian Longhorned Beetle).
  • Dog owners may book the Éclipse des Nomades, Éclipse des Voyageurs, or Éclipse des Draveurs, the three Éclipse ready-to-camp units that accept dogs. However, dogs are not allowed to sleep on the mattresses and must remain on a leash at all times while on our property. No other animals are permitted inside the accommodations.

The interior dimensions of the Éclipse: 20 feet (length) x 12 feet (width) x 11 feet (height), or 240 square feet.

The six Éclipse ready-to-camp accommodations are located in the Birch sector, approximately 600 meters from the welcome station and 200 meters from the Pavillon Desjardins. They are accessible by car, except in winter, when the vehicle* must be parked near the welcome station.
