CAMPING RULES | Lalièvre WILDLIFE

At Lalièvre Wildlife, our rustic camping sites are located in a natural environment, on private land developed to offer a simple, peaceful experience that respects the environment.

By making a reservation, each camper acknowledges having read these rules and agrees to comply with them for the entire duration of their stay. These rules are intended to ensure the safety of users, the protection of the land, and harmonious coexistence among campers.

In the event of an emergency requiring immediate intervention by emergency services, campers must call 911.

For any other urgent situation, issue, or report of non-compliance with the rules by users, please contact Lalièvre Nature at 819-427-6862 or 819-661-1553, or by email at camping@terrainslalievre.com.

1. Site Access

Access to the camping sites is reserved exclusively for individuals with a valid reservation.

Access instructions, specific guidelines, codes, or any other information provided prior to arrival must be used confidentially and responsibly.

Campers must use only the designated roads and follow the instructions provided to reach their campsite. Driving outside the designated routes is prohibited in order to preserve the natural environment and ensure everyone’s safety.

The reservation confirmation received by email must be printed and placed visibly on the dashboard of the vehicle parked on the site at all times. This confirmation allows authorized vehicles to be quickly identified and helps with campsite management.

Campers acknowledge that cellular coverage may be limited or unavailable in certain areas. It is recommended that access instructions, the reservation confirmation, and any useful information be downloaded or printed before arriving on site.

Campers must remain within authorized areas and respect the boundaries of their campsite. Access to other lands, private roads, buildings, equipment, forest lots, or non-designated areas is prohibited unless prior authorization has been granted by Lalièvre Nature.

Campers must respect barriers, chains, signs, sector boundaries, and private access indications. Access to any unauthorized road, area, land, installation, or equipment is prohibited, even if it is physically accessible.

2. Nature of Campsites and Available Services

Campers acknowledge that the sites are offered as rustic, unserviced camping sites, unless otherwise indicated in the description of the reserved site.

No drinking water, electricity, sewer, shower, toilet, waste collection, or other service is guaranteed unless expressly stated in the site description.

No drinking water is provided on the campsites unless otherwise indicated. Campers must bring their own supply of drinking water for the entire duration of their stay.

Campers must use only the sanitary facilities provided for this purpose, when available. Where no sanitary facilities are available, campers must provide their own autonomous, hygienic, and environmentally responsible solution.

Leaving toilet paper, sanitary waste, or any other material in the natural environment is prohibited.

3. Authorized Persons and Visitors

Only individuals listed on the reservation are authorized to be present on the camping site.

Visitors who are not listed on the reservation are prohibited unless prior authorization has been granted by Lalièvre Nature. Any person present on the site must be declared on the reservation and must comply with these rules.

The maximum number of people allowed per campsite is the number indicated at the time of reservation or in the site description. Any excess occupancy must be authorized in advance by Lalièvre Nature.

4. Arrival and Departure Times

Arrival on site is permitted as of 2:00 p.m.

Departure must take place no later than 11:00 a.m.

The campsite must be vacated at the scheduled time to allow proper rotation of sites. Any early arrival, late departure, or occupancy outside these periods must be authorized in advance.

5. Traffic and Parking

Each campsite allows parking for one vehicle, unless otherwise indicated.

Vehicles must travel only on identified roads and be parked in the designated areas. Unauthorized driving in the forest, on non-designated trails, or outside the designated roads is prohibited.

Campers acknowledge that access roads may be gravel, dirt, narrow, uneven, or affected by weather conditions. Each camper is responsible for ensuring that their vehicle is suitable for the access conditions of the reserved site.

Roads, entrances, barriers, traffic lanes, and emergency access routes must remain clear at all times. No vehicle, trailer, equipment, or installation may block a road or interfere with access by emergency services.

6. Authorized Equipment

The equipment permitted on each campsite is the equipment indicated in the site description at the time of reservation.

Trailers, recreational vehicles, tent trailers, utility trailers, temporary shelters, or other similar equipment may be prohibited or subject to prior authorization depending on the site.

Lalièvre Nature reserves the right to refuse any equipment deemed non-compliant, dangerous, unsuitable for the site, or likely to harm the natural environment or the tranquility of the area.

7. Quiet Hours and Peaceful Enjoyment

To preserve the peaceful nature of the site, quiet hours are in effect between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.

During this period, campers must keep noise to a minimum and respect the peace and quiet of other occupants. Any noise, physical, or visual nuisance is prohibited.

Only individuals listed on the reservation may be present on the campsite during the stay.

The use of generators is prohibited at all times.

Fireworks, firecrackers, or any other pyrotechnic device are prohibited on the camping sites at all times.

8. Pets

Pets may be allowed on certain campsites, subject to the conditions applicable at the time of reservation.

They must be kept on a leash at all times, remain under supervision, and must not disturb the peace or safety of other campers.

Pet owners are responsible for their animal’s behaviour and for cleaning up after them. Pet waste must be placed in the garbage bins provided for this purpose or taken back with the camper’s waste.

9. Cleanliness and Waste

Each camper is responsible for keeping their campsite clean.

No waste may be left on site, in the forest, near the water, or in the natural environment. The site must be left in the same condition as upon arrival.

Waste must be taken back by campers or deposited only in the designated areas, when available. Failure to comply with this rule may result in fees or a fine.

10. Campfires

Campfires are permitted only in areas designated for this purpose.

Campers must bring their own firewood. Collecting wood in the forest is prohibited in order to preserve the natural environment.

Campers must comply at all times with fire bans issued by the municipality, SOPFEU, or any other competent authority.

It is strictly prohibited to burn anything other than natural wood, including:

• plastic;
• clothing;
• waste;
• treated, painted, or stained wood;
• toxic, explosive, or hazardous materials;
• any other material that could harm the environment or safety.

Every fire must remain under constant supervision and must be completely extinguished before going to sleep or leaving the site.

Before lighting a fire, campers must check the applicable instructions, restrictions in effect, and any fire ban communicated by Lalièvre Nature, the municipality, SOPFEU, or any other competent authority.

11. Activities, Water, and Safety

As the sites are located in a natural environment and may be near water, campers acknowledge that certain activities involve a level of risk.

Children must be accompanied and supervised at all times, especially near waterways, the lake, shorelines, or uneven natural areas.

Wearing a personal flotation device is mandatory for minors when they are near the water or in a watercraft.

Swimming is strictly prohibited in areas with strong currents or any apparent safety risk.

Watercraft must be used responsibly. Boats, paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, and other watercraft must be cleaned, clean, and well maintained before use in order to preserve the quality of the natural environment and help limit the spread of invasive exotic species.

Gas-powered motors are prohibited.

No official boat launch or launching area is made available to campers. Access to the lake or river must be made only from your campsite, when the site allows it, unless a boat launch is made available to campers. If applicable, it will be indicated on the site plan.

12. Weapons, Hunting, and Prohibited Activities

Firearms, air guns, bows, crossbows, or any similar equipment are prohibited on the camping sites unless prior written authorization has been granted by Lalièvre Nature.

Hunting, trapping, target shooting, or any similar activity is prohibited in the camping areas unless a specific written agreement has been made with Lalièvre Nature.

Any dangerous or illegal behaviour, or any behaviour likely to endanger the safety of campers, employees, other users, or the natural environment, is strictly prohibited.

The use of drones is prohibited unless prior authorization has been granted by Lalièvre Nature, in order to preserve the peace, safety, and privacy of campers.

13. Natural Conditions and Weather

Campers acknowledge that the sites are located in a natural environment and that conditions may vary depending on the weather, road conditions, insects, water levels, vegetation, branches, mud, or other natural factors.

These conditions are part of the rustic camping experience and do not automatically entitle campers to a refund.

Lalièvre Nature reserves the right to restrict access, temporarily close an area, suspend occupancy of a campsite, or request the evacuation of a site when weather conditions, fire risk, road conditions, fallen trees, an obstruction, urgent work, or any other safety-related situation justifies it.

14. Damage and Liability

Campers are responsible for any damage caused by themselves, their guests, their pets, or their equipment to the premises, installations, roads, vegetation, or any other property belonging to Lalièvre Nature or its partners.

Any damage, breakage, excessive cleaning, or intervention required due to faulty behaviour or improper use may be billed to the responsible camper.

15. Cancellation, Modification, and Refunds

Cancellation, modification, and refund terms are those indicated at the time of reservation or in the applicable cancellation policy.

No refund will be automatically granted due to weather conditions, discomfort related to the natural environment, the presence of insects, or a voluntary decision to leave the site before the end of the stay.

16. General Safety Instructions

Campers must exercise caution, respect, and courtesy at all times.

Good neighbourly conduct is essential to ensure an enjoyable stay for everyone. Any dangerous, disrespectful, or illegal behaviour, or any behaviour likely to disturb other campers or harm the environment, is prohibited.

When fire extinguishers, first aid kits, signs, cameras, barriers, panels, or other safety equipment are present on the site, they must be respected at all times.

It is prohibited to move, damage, cover, misuse, or render unusable any safety equipment, signage, or device. Any breakage, displacement, damage, or misuse may result in expulsion from the site, a claim for damages, or a report to the competent authorities.

Campers are required to promptly report to Lalièvre Nature any dangerous situation, injury, medical issue, fire outbreak, suspicious smoke, unauthorized presence, damage, vandalism, theft, risky behaviour, or unusual situation observed on the site.

17. Non-Compliance with the Rules

In the event of non-compliance with these rules, Lalièvre Nature reserves the right to terminate the stay, require immediate departure from the premises, and, where applicable, charge fees for damages, cleaning, or any required intervention.

No refund will be granted in the event of expulsion due to non-compliance with the rules.

18. Site Surveillance

In order to protect people, property, installations, and equipment, Lalièvre Nature may use surveillance and control measures, including occasional visits, field inspections, signage, barriers, or cameras installed at certain strategic locations.

When present, cameras are aimed primarily at access points, roads, parking areas, common equipment, or sensitive areas. They are used for safety, vandalism prevention, incident management, access control, or claims purposes, where applicable.
