The La Liberté Beach and Campground have long been associated with fun, relaxation and tranquility.

This story dates back to 1963. The origin of the beach: a sand pit, owned by Mr. Ernest Laliberté and, just next to it, the huge construction site for Highway 20 (Autoroute Jean-Lesage). This major road project required an enormous amount of sand, which was dug out from the pit. Gradually, the sand pit turned into a pleasant and inviting stretch of water. A cleverly planned conversion finally transformed it into a new beach that could be enjoyed by local residents.

In 1967, year of the Montreal World Fair (EXPO 67), Ernest's sons Paul and Lucien and their wives took over. They decided to set up a camping ground.

“Provide the best services”

1987 would be an important year for the La Liberté Beach and Campground. New owners Johanne Gosselin and Serge Rodier acquired this idyllic resort, bringing in extensive hospitality experience and above all, new ideas.

Since then, 27 new camping sites have been added, making a total of 345 sites, of which 319 are now fully serviced. Several buildings have been erected, along with facilities: restaurant, playgrounds, convenience store and many other services.

Since April 1, 2008, Mr Jean-Yves Fontaine and his wife Huguette are now the proud owners of “Camping La Liberté”. They would like to take this opportunity to thank Johanne and Serge for their 21 years of dedicated service.

The two major goals are cleanliness and tranquility.
