Gatineau Park Cabins


Gatineau Park Cabins, right inside Gatineau Park! The Cabins and the Park are near Chelsea Quebec, in the Hull/Ottawa area.

Backpackers Hostels Canada does include several campgrounds and cabins in its membership. The Gatineau Park Cabins are available in summer or winter.

Summer Sleepovers
Nature enthusiasts who use the Park trails for hiking and mountain biking during the summer and fall can prolong their excursions by spending the night in one of the Park’s yurts or cabins.

Winter Sleepovers
Have you ever dreamed of an experience of nature so profound that the silence of the forest penetrates to the very depths of your being? Skiers and snowshoers can extend their stay by spending the night in one of the Park’s shelters located in the heart of the forest.

Don't forget your sleeping bag and cooking gear!
