Malherbe

100 chemin de la Canopée, Lac-Bouchette

Malherbe is an invitation to slow down.

Nestled at the top of a mountain with a spectacular view of the majestic Lake des Commissaires, you are welcomed into an exceptional environment between lake and mountain, in the heart of Lac-Saint-Jean. Here, time stretches, and every moment becomes an opportunity to reconnect with yourself, others, and the land.

Choose your immersion in nature: the suspended comfort of our ready-to-camp refuge, the magic of spending the night under the stars on our camping platforms on the mountainside, or the warmth of the forest cocoon of our van sites. Each space is designed to fully enjoy the intimacy of the site and the grandeur of the landscape.

At the heart of the domain, the Connection Space invites gatherings. With its panoramic 180° view of the lake, it is a place to live at the rhythm of shared meals, impromptu games, and unforgettable sunsets. At the foot of the mountain, Lake des Commissaires becomes your playground. Take advantage of our kayak and paddleboard rental service to explore its hidden corners, deserted islands, and riverside forests.

More than just a campsite, Malherbe is an ecotourism accommodation site, a meeting place between humans and nature, deeply rooted in Ilnu culture. Here, we invite you to inhabit the territory rather than simply visit it.

The mountain awaits you for a human-scale experience, in the heart of a magnificent setting.
