Presentation

Looking for a campground for sale in the Laurentians? Located in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, this vast 63.79-acre tourism opportunity estate is an iconic outdoor destination in Quebec. Renowned for its clever mix of traditional rustic camping and glamping experiences, this exceptional site of 343 campsites enjoys an enviable reputation on the market. Bordered by a magnificent private lake and a small sandy river, it offers visitors a total immersion in the forest. Strategically located about an hour’s drive from Montreal, it is the perfect retreat for city dwellers seeking an escape.

Features & Highlights

Strategic location : Direct access to the “Le P’tit Train du Nord” linear park. Proximity to the economic hubs of Mont-Tremblant and Mont Blanc drives high occupancy rates and tourist traffic. This positioning generates a constant flow of customers.
Site accessibility: Easy access, close to all services. Paved section of the Petit Train du Nord. Easy and safe cycling departures directly from the campground.
Topography and layout: Mountainous and densely wooded site allowing for a low-density site configuration. This increased privacy is a direct competitive advantage, justifying premium pricing on the market.
Established business: Solid operational history demonstrating a large and affluent clientele from Montreal’s North Shore. The existing customer base ensures predictable and recurring seasonal revenues.
Turnkey management: Management and operations team already in place. Well-established procedures and tasks for a smooth transition for the buyer/investor.
Compliant and well-maintained infrastructure: Facilities meeting current government and municipal standards. Rigorous maintenance that minimizes operational contingencies.
Manager’s accommodation: An essential asset to attract management talent or to allow the investor to settle comfortably at the heart of their operations.

Infrastructure

The site features functional, turnkey facilities ready for immediate continuation of operations:

Campsites: Diversified offering covering multiple market segments, including 3-service RV sites (water, electricity, sewer) and rustic camping areas (unserviced).
Glamping rental fleet: Diversified inventory of turnkey accommodation units on land (micro lodges, woodland gables, boreal tents) and on the private lake (floating cabins). This glamping segment diversifies revenue streams and increases the average basket per stay compared to traditional camping.
Main buildings: Reception pavilion housing a convenience store, a laundromat, and a community hall, as well as sanitary blocks distributed throughout the estate to serve guests.
Aquatic facilities: Landscaped sandy beach on the private lake. The lake is a true lagoon, featuring soft sand and varying depths ideal for family swimming and training. Fed by a natural spring, the water is crystal clear.
Rental equipment: Autonomous revenue-generating fleet, including fatbikes, kayaks, pedal boats, and paddleboards.

On-Site Activities

The many recreational facilities included in the sale offer guests multiple reasons to extend their stay. The estate is fully equipped to entertain all generations:

Family infrastructure: Three safe outdoor playgrounds well-distributed across the site, accompanied by a large indoor arcade and a spacious community hall—a major asset for entertainment on rainy days.
Sports and relaxation: Highly popular gathering facilities, including a tennis court, basketball and badminton courts, a sand volleyball court, a deck hockey rink, as well as vast spaces dedicated to pétanque and traditional horseshoe pitching.
Adventure and outdoors: Privileged access to nature through a network of private hiking trails and a BMX track built on the estate. The site also serves as an ideal base camp with its immediate proximity to mountain biking and ski trails.

Development Potential

Despite its already comprehensive facilities, this property holds major optimization potential:

Glamping expansion: The vast available wooded areas allow for the addition of new unique accommodation units.
Expansion potential: Land remains available for additional campsites.
4-season operation: The proximity to ski and snowmobile trails offers investors the opportunity to winterize more accommodations to capture the lucrative Laurentian winter tourism market.
