Camping in Gatineau Park is both an inexpensive way to visit Ottawa and nearby attractions, and a great way to take a break from the bustle and heat of the city. Lac Philippe is especially designed for family camping and has all the amenities you might want, plus a friendly nature setting the kids will love. Although there are no electrical hook-ups, each campsite comes complete with a picnic table, fireplace and parking spot. A convenience store will provide anything you may forget and showers and outdoor water taps complete the amenities. On site rentals give campers access to bikes, canoes or kayaks. A special nature interpretation program is designed to help you discover nature in a fun, informative way; because the program changes annually it could easily become part of something you and your family enjoy year after year.
