Parc de la Baie | Wild Camping

Large gravel parking lot off a bit of a main strip. Pulled the truck and trailer around to the hidden half of the lot and have had no issues. Quiet spot. Someone else was here as well.
Nice path for walking the dog along the river and a grassed field as well behind the lot.

Voice texting. Please forgive errors. This is like my sixth time staying here. I guess I don’t check in every time. Oops! Anyhoo, the parking lot is an ice rink but it poses no problem. Right now, I’m the only car here. You couldn’t ask for a better overlanding spot so close to downtown Ottawa. 😊✌🏼

Grand stationnement pour vr. nous étions 3 vans pour coucher. en fait il y a 3 endroits où on peut passer la nuit. celle ci est prêt de la ville et comme dit précédemment près d'une très belle piste cyclable et piedonniere. je recommande. aucun service.

Crowded. Four vans including us and five RVs. People with their awnings and chairs out-hope you can keep this place, it’s a nice stop in spite of the noise. Would be even better if everyone didn’t throw their cigarette butts on the ground and put their litter in the bins but that’s a city for you.

huge gravel parking lot as described.
even a small parking sign.
large recreation area, parking, then a line of homes, street, bike path, river... in that order.
there is a restaurant across a small yacht club.

Big gravel parking in a beautiful area, near restaurants! We felt safe and had a good night of sleep!

September 6th, 2023 by frankieratcliffe

Stayed one night, pretty quiet but a couple other camper vans, some well lit areas and some a bit darker

Arrived late and had no problems. Massive space to park. Currently has a portable toilet, possible for a carnival that they're preparing for.

Large parking area, lots of RVs. Spent a very quiet night here. Didn’t stay in area but looks absolutely lovely, lots of sweet restaurants with patios overlooking the water. Huge park - hot air balloon festival happens here. Big Rig friendly, we got into and out of the parking lot with no problems. We are a 75’ set up - motorhome and trailer.

Calm place between the river and a park. Stayed a peaceful night here in our truck.

large gravel parking, no no-overnight camping signs, some people in the evening and in the morning who come to walk their dogs, but we had a quiet and calm stay there

Big gravel parking lot, well lit, quiet, only during the weekend there were some drifters at night. We stayed couple of nights and had a good stay! Nobody bothered us.

Stayed 2 nights there. With other campers around. Large enough for any size. There was a porta potty.

good location. found relatively flat spot. a tractor trailer came in around 4 am and dropped off some carnival rides right behind us.

August 25th, 2022 by stina416

Third time overlanding here! Safe because many others stay overnight and is well-lit, but not noisy as lot is quite large. Close to downtown.

August 2nd, 2022 by felixhuellen

Quiet, lots of campers. Stayed for one night. Toilet closed after 10 pm for the night.

July 26th, 2022 by 19orlando28

Very quiet large parking. Close to the river for a nice walk.

July 9th, 2022 by stina416

This is my second time staying here. Safe, close to a few 24-hour gas stations, and perfect for watching a beautiful sunrise over the Rivière Outaouais.

July 5th, 2022 by fill11

nice spot, plenty of parking spot been there 2 night police passed and said nothing

June 18th, 2022 by nomendis

Spent the night here. plenty of space and stabilized ground to accomodate even the largest of rigs.
boondock only

April 4th, 2022 by eliedevalence

Beautiful and quiet park. Had a good night here. Unfortunately washrooms were closed.
A lot a trash on the parking lot.

March 17th, 2022 by stina416

Voice texting please forgive errors nice big parking spot definitely no issues with parking there’s a gas station only about a kilometre away for washroom use however lots of cars coming in and out meeting up then leaving etc. not an issue for me but some people might not like it

Très grand stationnement non pavé. Il y avait quelques personnes qui y ont passé la nuit. Il faut traverser le stationnement public pavé. et pour plus de tranquilit., aller à la gauche du stationnement. Il y a des toilettes publique dans un pavillon très près, mais elles ne semblent pas être accessible en tout temps.

September 26th, 2021 by islandsboys

Bel endroit, semble calme. Restos a proximités

September 25th, 2021 by Dori & Mena

This is a large gravel parking lot located between the park and the Ottawa River bike & pedestrian path. We were 6 here overnight on a Saturday night. We heard music overnight from a nearby bar or club but we use the relax melodies white noise app so we slept well.

If you follow the path through the cinder blocks towards the park’s other parking lot, you will find flush toilets. When we stayed here it was open all day and night. To find the way, check out the pictures with the red arrows.

September 18th, 2021 by mcgobeil

Nice quiet place, a lot of place. There were a few other campers but there could have been about 100 vehicles more.

September 13th, 2021 by whit.anderson0192

Good spot—found a nice corner of the lot and slept in my car. Secluded enough that you might be able to get away with a tent?

August 15th, 2021 by alou_alexpatin

Nuit calme. Grand stationnement de Gravel. On était plusieurs, une dizaine, à y dormir cette nuit.

Oui, il y a des poulets qui se promènent le matin. Priorisez la partie gauche du stationnement.

August 6th, 2021 by sonia_lamontagne_94

Very large gravel parking lot. Quiet at night. We had no problem. Asphalt cycle path across the street.

Très grand stationnement de gravel. Calme la nuit. Nous n’avons eu aucun problème. Piste cyclable asphaltée de l’autre côté de la rue.

July 24th, 2021 by klaudie-ramsay

Beaucoup de place de stationnement. Par contre durant notre visite, c'était très bruyant. Il y a des coqs et des poules qui sont venus nous voir ainsi que quelqu'un qui se promenait en motocross à côté.

Stationnement tranquille, pres des restos. Beaucoup de place
Pres du fleuve

No toilet at the entrance but there's one in the parking right before. Other vans present, big gravel parking lot.

October 20th, 2020 by Clara

Pleasant spot not far from downtown Ottawa. It's close to local residences who must tolerate people staying there, so be sure to clean up after yourself!

October 1st, 2020 by cynthia-07

Grand parking reculé par rapport à la route donc très calme. Pas loin de l'eau pour se promener avec vu sur Ottawa. C'est vraiment magnifique ! Toilettes chimiques à l'entrée. Il y avait d'autres véhicules stationnés.

September 23rd, 2020 by Coupleontheroad

We ve been here for one night. Nothing to add... there was a toilette at the enter.
Very quiet, nice view, perfect

Nous avons dormi une nuit, et tout était très bien. Il y avait une toilette chimique à l'entrée, l'endroit est calme et il y a une belle vue sur le bord de l'eau

Huge parking next to the river. Calm place. Close Parc de Gatineau and Ottawa

August 28th, 2020 by caro.bourcier80

Bel endroit tranquille, semble sécuritaire, juste assez bien éclairé.

August 22nd, 2020 by bpaquette01

Grand stationnement, très belle endroit pour passer la nuit, faire du vélo, marche et quelques restaurants tout près.

July 31st, 2020 by damienmarion55

Nice gravel parking lot. Very quiet.
Note the road is for resident only and might be a bit narrow for big rigs.

September 17th, 2019 by autumnscardina

Stayed here 4 nights in a 28' class A. Great spot and no issues. Good cell signal, lots of space, out of the way and didn't feel intrusive. 20 min bike ride to the city. Restaurants and walking trails along the river at your doorstep.

August 19th, 2019 by vnoel25

Parking calme et tranquille pour la nuit. Restaurant sympa à côté. Très belle vue sur Ottawa.
