    Mille Roches was one of our least favorite campgrounds on our 9 day trip through Canada. Our tent…read moresite was next to the water and private, but on a huge slope. The only semi flat spot was on the very bottom next to the river. This would be a great site if you wanted to kayak. The only water site wasn't anywhere near our tent site. There wasn't a practical place to park our car, and due to the rain the site was muddy and our car almost got stuck. The roads are slippery and muddy. They really need to add some gravel to the roadway. The whole campground felt overgrown and unkempt. I wanted to take a shower before we left in the morning, but they lock the showers overnight. I don't think it's unreasonable to want to take a shower at 6:45. The river is pretty, but I wouldn't stay here ever again.

    So much potential...just not quite good enough…read more Location: Ridiculously easy to get to from Mtl...its seriously one road the whole way (the 20/401 westbound), one exit (778) and one left turn (well technically also a right turn to get into the specific campground). Easy peasy! Plus bonus: there's a Timmy's less than a 5 minute drive from the campground! Campsites: This is where they lose their points...and it's such a damn shame because they have soooooo mannnnnyyyyy waterfronts!! We stayed at site 208 and while it definitely wasn't one of the better waterfront options....it was a pretty good indication of all of the other waterfront sites. That is to say they are all hellaaaa sloped! Huge ridiculous angles making it stoopid to park ur car let alone put up a tent. Some of the waterfronts did have less inclined slopes making them more reasonable as options (ex: 201 and 202 weren't nearly as bad). Any non waterfront site seemed just terrible in my opinion: either out in the open with no privacy or tucked into a bunch of mosquito ridden woods and tons of mud (it's been an especially rainy season this year). If u have an adjustable trailer this place would be awesome, but even then it'll put lots of pressure on the trailer legs and it would be a b*tch to get ur trailer in and out. Overall at 35$ a night for a waterfront u'd think they could afford to put some platform wedges down to make the sites decently camp-able in a tent. However, being able to fish off our site definitely does have it's allure, even tho we didn't catch anything. Scenery: Beautiful St Lawrence lake and surrounding typical Ontario forests. At sites 208- 199 u have a great view of the setting sun! Weather: Omg we were soooo unlucky!! It rained damn near the whole 2-1/2 days we were there! At first it was warm big rain drops with thunder n lightning so that was pretty kool...but then it just KEPT RAINING and got windier and windier and colder and more unpleasant. Sun did come out for brief periods but it was still super windy and not very pleasant. Water in the lake still felt warm but lack of nice weather made it so we didn't actually go swimming. Commodities/Accommodations: - DOGS ALLOWED! - Store also serves as the check in kiosk. There is wood (8$ for a cheap amount of meh- ok-wood, burns alright, terrible quantity for the price). There is also ice (3.25 per decent bag commercial ice cubes). They also offer a variety of groceries (ketchup hotdogs etc...) and i noticed some toys n very few fishing supplies (a coupla hooks etc..). Forgot to ask if they sold worms (i just gathered worms from under the many rocks on our campsite). They also had a Keurig with coffee and tea cups available. But we just drove the 5 mins to the Timmy's. - Shower and laundry facilities near the entrance. 3 other Flushable toilets and running warm water sinks bathrooms near some of the loops (not all). Don't take a site adjacent to a bathroom...they're all open n offer zero privacy. Across or nearby is fine tho. Activities: Plenty of beaches nearby (no alcohol nor dogs allowed on beaches), i think a couple of them had boat rentals. Plenty of parks for the kiddos ranging from just a swing set to the works. We just spent any nice weather fishing from our site. I didn't notice any hiking trails but there must of been some somewhere. Wildlife: Saw plenty of chipmunks both long tailed n short. Also saw a bunch of wild turkeys just ambling around. Plenty of birds of all kinds, different kinds of ducks and geese. That's about it. Tons of bugs (earwigs, spiders, ants, gnats), but we didn't get bit too much: bf got bit once, i think me too. Overall if the site hadn't have been so sloped (and most sites for that matter) ...and if we had gotten nicer weather which isn't the campground's fault but still has an effect because of how terrible this place gets bogged down by rain (MUD!!). And if there had been a better wood-to-price ratio ...well then it might've actually gotten 4 stars. Will be checking out the other 2 parks on these islands. Might come back here n give it another shot eventually.
