Glengarry Campground Beach

20800 South Service Rd, Lancaster, Ontario K0C 1N0

Less than an hour west of Montreal, Glengarry Beach and Campground is located on the tranquil shores of Lake St. Francis on the St. Lawrence River. Across the river you can see the majestic spires of Saint-Anicet and in the distance the imposing Adirondack Mountains.

The region is an angler's paradise, boasting some of the best bass and carp fishing anywhere. In fact, in July of 2010, the largest bass in North America was caught just offshore.

183 campsites are situated among a towering stand of old growth pine. The park features a sandy beach that arcs around a sheltered bay, and boat launch facilities. New this year are three camper cabins located near the beach.
