Camping Québec is an association with more than 800 campground operator members from the private and public sectors who represent nearly 90% of the province’s campsites. Founded in 1962, its mission is to encourage and support the growth and development of the camping industry and promote camping as a recreational activity in Quebec. In addition, Camping Québec is the delegate of the Minister of Tourism for the registration of campgrounds in the province.
In addition to tangible and measurable economic benefits, a variety of social impacts are a natural result of the outdoor hospitality industry:
Celebrating Canada and its stunning natural landscapes by facilitating accommodation options in a variety of locations from coast to coast.
Camping provides travel and leisure options to a broad range of socioeconomic levels, giving more Canadians the ability to travel, enjoy nature, and make memories that last a lifetime.
Recent expansion of camping products and options in the Outdoor Hospitality industry has made the camping and RVing lifestyle more accessible and desirable to diverse demographics.
As demonstrated during the pandemic, exposure to the outdoors has a significant positive impact on the mental wellbeing of Canadians.
