You are responsible for your safety

Camping

Temporary primitive camping (tent: max 5 nights, RV: 10 nights) is permitted where signs suggest it. Elsewhere, camping of any kind is prohibited. Respect the capacity of the sites indicated on the map.

Vehicles in the coastline

Do not drive on the shoreline. All motorized vehicles (motorcycles, cars, trucks, trailers, quads) are prohibited in the waterways, including the beaches of the reservoir.

Waste management

Bring back all your garbage, do not burn it and dispose of it properly. Clean up your site before you leave so that it is cleaner than when you arrived. Make sure you don’t forget anything.

Campfire

Use only existing fire rings, do not move them. Respect the fire ban notices. Keep an eye on your fire and do not litter. Put out your fire properly by drowning it, never use sand.

Dogs, horses and other animals

Keep your pets on a leash. Pick up the waste generated by the presence of your animal (ex: excrements).

Daily rest stops

Some sites are developed for daily use, so camping is prohibited.

Parking
